We had a wonderful turnout for Local Yarn Store Day! Thank you to everyone that stopped by and said hello! We appreciate your support and allowing us to be your local yarn shop! We were excited to have shawl kits from Baah and Anzula available as well as some new project bags, stitch markers, and Woobles kits!
We also got a restock of Primrose Homestead Sport! --------------------- Last week we got to know Stephanie a bit more, now it is time to share more about Derek! Born in Chicago, Derek moved to Minnesota when he was 3 and has spent most of his life here. He’s worked as a chemical engineer for the past 12 years and is excited to be closer to home when he’s at the shop! Derek enjoys traveling, reading, playing games with friends, and knitting! Derek learned to knit in 2019 after Stephanie thought he would enjoy the puzzle that comes with knitting. He quickly took to it and was knitting cowls after only a couple of dish cloths. Derek started attending Friday night stitching in late 2021 and took a couple of classes in 2022 to grow his skill set. The Amazing Threads community welcomed him in, and it’s been a large factor in keeping him hooked on knitting. His favorite project that he has made is the As You Wish MKAL Shawl in Life in the Long Grass Singles. |

Stephanie's most recently finished project was the Bynx Cowl knit in one skein of Red Stag Fibres Estate DK. She is offering this as a class starting this Saturday - a great opportunity to learn how to knit cables! Susan is working on the Vallo Cowl using stash yarn. She recommends Rowan Alpaca Soft DK! |
