Yarns on First

January 2014
A wonderful holiday season was had by the Yarns on First family, with lots of eating, merrymaking, and not quite enough time for knitting! While we can hardly believe this year is already coming to a close, we are looking forward to 2014, and have lots of exciting new projects in mind. We are happy to present our list of upcoming classes and workshops. Call early, as classes do fill up.

Yarns on First will be closing early Tuesday January 7th and Wednesday January 8th. We will open at 10:30am and close at 2:30pm. We will resume our regular hours Thursday January 9th.
