April 2016 Calendar

We've just posted the April 2016 calendar and class descriptions. Please call if you have any questions or would like to sign up for a class. We're repeating the 3-session Toe-Up, Magic Loop sock class on Thursday mornings (3 sessions) beginning April 14, 2016. Please call us during business hours to sign up and reserve your spot or visit us at the shop to get details and supplies.

Thank you for shopping at Twisted Yarns!

We also have room for a few more knitters in the Second Chance KAL on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-3:00! This is a relaxing KAL -- participants and instructors have the shop to themselves for a couple of hours. Please call the shop with any questions.

If you'd like to receive an email when we update the website, please sign up here on the sidebar for either the email updates here *OR* you can sign up for the email list. It's your choice, and I suggest both so you won't miss anything! We are also posting news on our Facebook as well.

March 2016 Calendar

The March 2016 calendar is up!

March Highlights:

• March is National Crochet Month. In honor of Crochet Month, we've added a Tunisian Crochet class and will be offering crochet demos throughout the last half of the month -- check in and like our Facebook page to receive updates about the crochet festivities. We'll also post on the blog and Twitter. Of course, nothing beats a visit to the shop to see what else we're up to.
• The Drop Spindle Class is on the calendar again! Our instructor, Lisa Rose, will teach you everything you need to know to get started spinning yarn by hand on a drop spindle. We have spindles for purchase at the shop and she will supply the fiber for the class. 
• Other classes offered this month include My First Lace Shawl, Fixing Beginner Mistakes, Learn to Knit, Brioche Scarf, and Tunisian Crochet Basics.
• Spring Cleaning Sale - put these dates on your calendar: March 11 and 12, 2016. We'll be adding items to the clearance bins at 30% - 50% off as well as offering discounts throughout the shop on our regular-priced items. This is a great time to redeem the rewards you've earned!

To sign up for classes, please call the shop during business hours (Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00-5:00) or sign up in person. 

Happiness is YARN! Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of our friends and customers! Thank you for supporting your local yarn shop. We are so grateful for all of you and enjoy your visits. We had a great 2015 and are gearing up for another fun year! Please subscribe to the email list because subscribers are among the first ones to know about special events and KALs. I've recommitted to the blog and will be updating more in 2016. Of course, you can also follow us on Facebook and me (Janet) on Instagram, where I post random things from the shop and my life.

Our January calendar is now live and linked in the sidebar of this blog and also below:

Please note that the class descriptions are also in the sidebar and linked again here for your convenience:

Twisted Yarns Class Descriptions

As a reminder, the class descriptions link lists all of the classes we regularly teach, regardless of whether or not they appear on the calendar in a given month. We are happy to set up a class for you -- or you can schedule a private lesson in order to have one-on-one help with your projects. If you're interested in moving on from beginning knitting, we'll tailor classes and lesson suggestions to your interests. The path to becoming a better knitter, crocheter, weaver, or spinner isn't always a linear one, and not all fiber lovers have the same goals. The important thing to know is that we have skilled instructors and staff members who remember what it was like to be a beginner and can ask questions and give you feedback so that you can discover what your passion is. 

While it's likely you don't need more yarn, maybe you want to love to fall in love with your stash all over again, or you'd like to finish long-neglected projects. Perhaps you just need encouragement to rip out and start over -- or even de-stash yarn on Ravelry. We can help. Come and see us.
