We'll be having a group knit along of sorts. Everyone can work on the project of their choice, but we'll start Thursday February 18, and end April 8. Those who have finished their project by April 8th will have their name entered in a drawing for a prize worth $200 from Classic Elite.

A Good Beach

Come see our exclusive yarn, dyed exclusively for us by Lornas Laces, called 'A Good Beach'. We sent them sand and shells from Siesta Beach, and after some collaboration, the color we came up with is spectacular! Available in sock, sport, worsted, bulky, and lace weights, there is one perfect for your next project.

Whether your nearest beach is 10 minutes or 10 hours away, A Good Beach will bring the beach with you wherever you go!
