Hello Fiberlovers!

What a Winter - looks like we missed the worst of it in Feb as we were traveling and our daughter, Peg, kept the store open for those who were determined to brave all that Winter weather to purchase yarn. Thank you to all of you who did. In our travels through the Middle East, we tried to find yarn shops but they are scarce as hens’ teeth. We did come across a sweet little shop in Beirut, Lebanon that was no larger than a walk-in closet, but had some dandy yarns that I had not seen. Two of my sisters-in-law knit and I picked up a lovely, double knit stitch that I will share when I practice it a little bit more. I knitted infant socks throughout my trip for our soon-to-be great grand child.

Be sure to check below for the classes that are upcoming in April. We would love to have you join us.

Sorry to inconvenience you, but please change our email in your address book once again. We are now going to use donna@yarnstodyefor.net. Perhaps we will receive all our mail, using this latest address; it‘s been a struggle. Also check our website at www.yarnstodyefor.net . Our newsletter will be posted on the website each time I send it, so if you delete it here you can still have access.

You can find yarns that we carry, or can get for you, at the following websites. If we don’t have it on the shelf, we will gladly order for you. New yarns are arriving almost daily. We also subscribe to a Skeins List, which gives us an opportunity to find discontinued and out of date yarns as well. If it can be found, we’ll find it - and for you who live out of town, we will gladly send it to you.

UPCOMING CLASSES:

SOCK KNITTING with Donna: This two-day sock class will be taught on double point needles and will be infant socks. Dates are Wed April 7 and 14 from 1 to 3. Fee is $30 and covers both classes. Yarn must be purchased at Yarns To Dye For and will be discounted 10%. Basic knitting knowledge is needed. I found in my recent baby sock knitting that this is a dandy way to learn the construction of sock knitting without all the stitches of an adult sock. These are quick and easy, and get you ready to knit a larger sock. Attendance is limited, so please sign up promptly.

BEGINNING LACE KNITTING with Marie Shanley: This four-day class will teach the fundamentals of lace knitting and will prepare you for scarves and shawls using beautiful lace patterns and charts. Yarn must be purchased at Yarns To Dye For and will be discounted 10%. Basic knitting knowledge is needed. Dates are Thurs April 8, 15, 22, 29 from 1 to 3. Fee is $15 per class or $50 for all four classes, paid in advance. Attendance is limited, so please sign up promptly.

BEGINNING KNITTING: Call for an appointment and have one-on-one instruction at a time suited to your schedule. Fee is $15 per hour. Ask for Donna.

MARBLING FOR BEGINNERS with Barb Luchtman: This three HOUR class will be held Friday April 16 from 1 to 4. Class will cover the basics of marbling and will include one 11”x60” silk scarf and one 36” sq scarf, (which we will have prepared for marbling prior to class), in the fee of $120, which must be paid at time of registration. More scarves can be purchased. This is a very limited class so sign up early. A waiting list will be kept for the following month.

SILK PAINTING SHIBORI STYLE with Donna: This three HOUR class will be held Friday April 30th from 1 to 4. In this class you will learn how to tie silks in order to resist the dyes. Immersion dyeing will be the technique of the day with multiple dipping to get the desired results. The fee of $120 will cover two 11”x60” silk scarves with more available for purchase. These scarves will not require steam setting and can be taken home at the end of the day. Attendance is very limited, so please sign up promptly. A waiting list will be kept for the following month.

FUN AND GAMES:
Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 to 2. This is a social knit, with lots of laughter. Come in and meet some very talented knitters who enjoy each other’s company and seeing the work of our hands. Yarn purchases are discounted when you knit with us.

GAIL’S ART COLLECTION: ALL of Gail Opp’s Japanese Sumi-e collection is offered below gallery prices, as her desire is to have them in homes that appreciate this style of painting. These will make wonderful, inexpensive gifts for others or for yourself. Don’t miss an opportunity to purchase one of these lovely paintings by a nationally renowned artist. Shown by appointment while they last.

Thank you for shopping with us. We appreciate your patronage and will do whatever we can to make your knitting experience more interesting and fun. We look forward to helping you chose colors and textures for your next project.

Sincerely,
Donna and Majdi
