Fall officially has begun, and though it may not feel like it, we're still ready for the new season and all the fun knitting and crochet ideas it brings. It's time to think about slightly cooler temperatures, the holidays, and giving thanks for all the wonderful friends, family, and yarn in our lives. In this newsletter, we're announcing our new free shipping option, information on some new classes coming up, and a KAL/CAL you can still join in on (and get a gift done for that football fan in your life). Don't forget our upcoming events at the bottom and information on our rewards program, too. 
Happy Fall, Y'all!

Fall KAL
Football Patterns!
It's football season and we have a fun knit-or-crochet-along to announce. We're pairing up with Skacel yarns and participating in their Scoreboard Cowl KAL. Pick your favorite NFL or College football team, come in (or go to our online store) and get some HiKoo Simplicity in your team colors. Each week you'll knit rows based on the game's final score. You can even work in a third color to separate the weeks if you like. We have full instructions and details in the shop. Amanda will knit up the Scoreboard Cowl in Saints colors (Who Dat!) - and you'll see it progress each week on Facebook and Ravelry. We'd love to see your team colors! Are you ready for some football yarn fun? Check out our blog for more info!
Socktober!
 
Socktober is Here!
We love sock yarn. We love the versatility, the weight, the yardage, the list goes on. One skein can become a pair of socks, or a shawl - you pick! So now that October is here, we thought we'd celebrate some of the great sock-worthy yarns in our store in an event we're calling Socktober. We'll highlight our favorites on Facebook each day or so, but thought we'd also offer up a little free pattern love and do some of the work for you in hunting down your next sock pattern. Check out our blog for the pattern links!

Spinning yarn from fluff is lots of fun! This is all about fibers: preparation, the best way to spin, combining and of course, spinning! Learn all the basics in this 3-hour class. Learn about fiber and its various preparations, how to draft and spin, make strong joins, plying and how to speed spindle. Learn why there are different types and weights of spindles, how to recognize well-prepared fiber, and how different fiber preparations affect your spinning. You will explore different fiber prep including making rolags on a blending board and using hand carders. 
This class is for the Beginner, but it's a perfect refresher if you've been away from your spindle for a while.

The class fee covers all your materials including spindle and time with a Master Spinner!
Must register ahead of class (in-store or online), limited to 5 spinners.

You've seen this great scarf in the shop. Now make your own with one of our looms. This scarf is often mistaken for linen stitch, but it is much easier and faster! Bring in your odds and ends, different textures are great! We will be mixing and matching your yarns for the weft. You will learn to dress your loom without assistance and produce a quality scarf from your stash!
Class size is limited. Call to reserve.
