| We love our community of knitters, crocheters, and fellow yarn lovers! It is always so much fun to watch people learn to knit and crochet, grow their confidence and skills, and celebrate their progress and projects!  We offer lots of different opportunities to gather, socialize, and learn. We have classes ranging from learn to knit and crochet to more advanced classes and knit-alongs including sweaters, colorwork and more. We have open knit/crochet every Tuesday both in the morning and evening. We also have monthly Friday Night Stitching events where you can have dinner, socialize, and work on your project. We hope you'll join us at one of our next classes or events!  One of our current knit-alongs is the Drawing Sweater. Susan shared her progress on this beautiful piece! She is using Primrose Roan and La Bien Aimee Mohair. -------- Bonnie shared with us the importance of using color catchers when soaking your finished projects! When using deep colors or multiple colors you don't want to bleed, it is important to use color catchers when soaking so they absorb any excess dye that might come out in the water.   In the first picture you can see the handknit soaking along with the color catcher sheets in the water. In the second picture you can the color catchers removed after soaking - notice the blue tint to them. You can find color catchers in the laundry aisle of your store. ---------------- Save the Date! Join us "Under the Sea" on April 13th-16th for the 2023 Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop! Help us celebrate our love of yarn and support our local food shelves! Check out the Shop Hop webpage for information on participants, maps, and the event passport!  -------- Just a reminder that our Farewell Shibui sale is still going on. As Shibui is closing, we are offering 30% off various yarns including Haven, Pebble, Cima, and Tweed Silk.  |
