You can drop by at any [...]

Adventurous Lace – New Dates!

The Adventurous Lace class will be held May 13 + 27 in the beautiful Gardens at the Eureka Inn (just down the street from our former shop in downtown Jonesborough). I had hoped to start the class sooner, but the needles haven’t come in yet and several of you have mentioned that you can’t find [...]

Really.

I started the pattern last week  and I am [...]

Stitch Therapy: In Session

Tonight!

Bring your knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, braiding, sewing, stitching to the Eureka Inn in Historic Jonesborough for a time of fellowship, coffee and, of course, stitching!

You voted: 2 Lace Classes

And Haruni really isn’t a great pattern to learn on.
It IS beautiful.
And the pattern [...]

Reason #293 to Love our Yarnies

When a customer finds the perfect color, but it’s a sock yarn and she needs a worsted weight for her first sweater?

I email Mercedes (from Kitchen Sink Dyeworks) and she whips up the most perfect sweater yarn EVER. In 2 weeks!

Even better (for you!): she sent enough yarn to make another [...]

Sycamore Shoals Fiber Festival

Last Saturday we picked up the whole shop and most of the yarn and moved (for the day!) to Sycamore Shoals Fiber Festival, organized by the Over Mountain Weaver’s Guild.

Towards the end of [...]

Cosy Hats!

Happy Fiber Friday!

I’m super excited to share our newest addition to the shop – patterns! Since January’s hat class was so popular, we got three new hat patterns from CosyMakes.

CosyMake’s whimsical hat patterns and they are well-suited for small amounts of precious yarn:

Squares Squared

Pixie Hood (perfect for bulky handspun!)
