We're one week away from the and we can't wait to see our friends from all over the Triangle! The yarn crawl is a great chance to get out and see all the variety shops in the area have to offer, find some great deals, and maybe win big if you visit all 7 shops!
We'll be hosting on Saturday, so you can try out their very cool mini looms! We continue to add more weaving supplies to support all of the yarn crafts!

Here be dragons! We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Fireglow from for and I know many of you have been keeping an eye out for this collection! It fills a real gap in the designs we usually see, and I've got a couple people in mind that I know I'll be making something for!
We do have some backorders from this line, so keep your fingers crossed that we see those sooner than later. They just announced that there will be a reprint of this line coming in the fall, so hopefully we can make every dragon-loving heart in our community happy! What will you make with Fireglow?

Are you ready to start your machine sewing journey, or brush up on your sewing skills? We have two spots on our Intro to Machine Sewing class this Sunday, and we'll be sewing up a custom tool roll which can hold everything from pens and markers, to knitting needles or clay tools.
We'll cover setting up and threading your machine, adjusting the little dials and k***s, and sewing a straight stitch! If you don't have your own machine, you can use one of our classroom machines to see if this sewing thing is for you! Register via the website, or stop by the shop for assistance.
