A bit of the Irish to you! Come and knit with us!
|
We are excited about all the new spring/summer yarns that are in. We have received shipments of Shibui Silk and Berroco Lago to compliment our linen yarn selections. We expect a shipment of Madeline Tosh Merino Lite and Rowan Summerspun by the middle of the month. Along with our new yarns, we are adding ongoing classes. One of our newest classes will be with Judy du Monde who will be teaching during the daytime for those of you that cannot make the night time classes. Please see description under new class offerings. Our Valentine Day celebration was fun and inspirational. We had lots of champagne, show and tell of projects completed and raised money for the Napa Valley Food Bank and Jared McDaniels. Jared is a two year old with leukemia. We are currently taking cash donations at the store to defer medical costs. Please come in and see our new yarns, show us your projects and visit with us. The Free Range Knitting Group is meeting weekly and having a great time. Our crocheters have added to our "yarn bomb" tree and continue to have fun. Thank you for your continued patronage and support of our store. We are looking forward to Spring at Yarns on First. Please note that we will be closed on Sunday, March 25th for store maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will be posting new Spring and Summer hours in April's newsletter.
