Fresh Air Fiber Time
Since we can't have Open Table Time in the shop, let's step outside and enjoy the sun! It'll be so great to see everyone and just BE TOGETHER!
Join us outside the shop on Thursdays and Fridays 10am - 12pm. Bring your own chair and find a cozy spot in the shade or sun.

There are a few different areas you can go to: in front of the shop to the right of the door (the left side under the windows is not available as that is our waiting area); the area between us and the convenience store; and the lawn area behind the shop.

Space is limited to 8.
Registration by email is required and opens every Tuesday at 9am.
6' of distance is required between chairs or masks must be worn.

There are public use bathrooms in the building behind the shop as ours is closed to the public.
We will help get you through your project or learn something new in a 30 or 60 minute one-on-one lesson! We can do this from the comfort of your own home through Zoom or in the shop - whichever is more convenient for you! 

You can purchase a lesson on our website and we will call you to set up the date and time.
Did you know?
We offer Finishing Services.
Looks can be deceiving when you’re armed with needles at all times. We’re actually very friendly people— the friendliest in fact. Why?
It’s because we offer finishing services. We’ll cast on, block,
sew pieces together, weave in ends, sew on buttons and do all the
pain-in-the-neck work for you so you can come out of the store with a finished project that you’re proud of. 

Email or call us for all the details!
