Crochet, Knitting & Embroidery Classes
These classes are for ages 12+ and those who are already proficient with basic crochet or knitting stitches (Most embroidery classes require no experience). A good fit for these classes would be someone who has successfully completed a few projects and is ready to learn some new techniques.
Here you will find details about group classes of 12 students or less. Classes are geared toward learning new techniques through the creation of a sample swatch or item.
Interested in a class, but being in a group isn't really your thing? No worries! Reach out to the shop and get a private class for just you or you and your friends and family.

Junebug Pottery Classes
Trinket Dish: 2/1

Using blank clay, students will choose from a variety of forms to press their clay into the desired dish shape.

Pieces will be taken back to Junebug Pottery's studio to be fired then picked up at Yarn Together at a later date.
Doily Dish:
This project is a perfect way to display that intricately stitched doily passed down to you by a beloved family member.
Bring your own stitched piece to press into the bottom of the trinket dish that you form from your own piece of blank clay. The doily will not be damaged, but will need to be laundered after class.
Junebug Pottery will lead students through how to achieve the beautiful glazing technique featured in the sample photo. Pieces will be taken back to Junebug Pottery's studio to be fired, then picked up at Yarn Together at a later date.

YARN SWAP
March 29th
Cost: FREE
What Do I Bring?
Yarn from your stash that-
-
Has Never been used & still has the ball band.
-
Pet hair & smoke free
-
Each skein retails for between $6 -$12
-
Must bring at least 3 skeins
-
No Red Heart Brand
How Does It Work?
When you arrive the day of the swap, you will be be given a ticket for each skein of yarn brought. Ex: If you bring 5 skeins, you will receive 5 tickets.
Round 1: You will draw a number. Whoever draws #1 will get to go into the classroom where all of the yarn is displayed and pick first, #2 will go second etc.
Each round, you "spend" your tickets to "buy" yarn. You will choose up to 3 skeins of yarn each round depending on how many tickets you have to spend. When all participants have had a turn to "buy" we will begin round 2.
Round 2: If you still have tickets to spend you will draw a number for round 2. Whoever draws #1 will first and so on. You spend up to 3 tickets for each round, so if you came to the swap with 5 skeins of yarn, during round 1 you spent 3 tickets leaving 2 tickets for round two. You will spend two tickets during round two and you will not be eligible to participate an any further rounds.
-
Rounds will continue as long as people have tickets to spend.
Bring a project to work on while you chat with others and wait your turn to shop!
