Events
We try to offer a range of activities here for those interested in either learning more about a topic, trying out something new, or simply socializing with other fiber fanatics! There isn't much posted for the spring because of personal vacation time in May and June, but things get hopping in July! And if, when I get back from the Shibori Festival in Arimatsu Japan in mid June, I have the time & energy, I'll post some fun event for the last half of June.
Some of what you see in the calendar below are free events and others are workshops that require payment.
You can follow this link to read more details about any of the Workshops/Classes
And to read more about the Free Events, just scroll down below the calendar!
Winter Clearance Sale
Sat Mar 1st 10 - 5
Some lovely winter yarns are going on clearance as I make room for some new inventory. Bye Bye to Noro's Tsuido. Hasta La Vista, Felted Tweed Colours. Sayonara to Rowan's Hand Knit Cotton and Plymouth's Matita (both nice summer yarns!). Arividerci Kureyon....to name some of the yarns that will be on clearance.
Hello to Noro's Malvinas, Rowan's Summerlite, and a few others that will all be arriving in March and April as the summer yarns arrive!
Discover Silk
Sat Mar 15th 3-5
CANCELLED for lack of registration. Yes, it was offered free, but involved a cost to me in the way of silk cocoons and mawattas that I would need to prep in advance. And more importantly, several hours of my time to set up the display and hands on stations for participants to enjoy....and there was only 1 person registered. So I just can't do it.
After a cold and snowy winter here, some of you may be feeling a little cabin fever? I always find that an infusion of color and the awe of learning something new can help me get thru the last few weeks before spring really arrives for good!
So come join me to explore the amazing life cycle of silk worms, how silk is harvested from cocoons, and the many forms it comes in along with the many ways we use it to add sheen to our felt, create silk paper for book binding or notecards, and even knit with it directly from the cocoon!
Registration is required, since if there isn't enough interest I'm not going to waste my time (or the silk) in preparation for sharing this all with you. Call the shop at 288-8081 to register.
