| We have teaching
as our first love so it's easy to keep that a priority. Almost
all of our employees teach classes and in the course of a regular
day a lot of extra teaching is done - from showing someone the
Kitchener stitch to explaining what a yo means.
We've learned that customers enjoy seeing
finished products rather than samples so, while we have sample
swatches of yarns knit and /or crocheted, we have many completed
products using the most popular yarns.
We invite you to come in, take a
class, ask some questions, or just say hi. We are here because
we love to teach!

out more here.

They were almost too beautiful to use, but we know that using
a handmade towel makes drying dishes a treat.
