Local Yarn Store Day is April 26!
Local Yarn Store Day is a national day of celebration honoring that unique and ubiquitously beloved entity, the Local Yarn Store, a place where fiber crafters of all kinds can come together to find inspiration, learn a new skill, get all the yarn, and craft together in community. The above-mentioned are among the things we love about being YOUR local yarn store, but the most cherished of them is the idea of "community."
In addition to celebrating all the things we love about YARN and YARN SHOPS, we are thrilled to support and celebrate our Community Giving partner, Hearts Unknown Education (HÙE).
Hearts Unknown Education (HÙE), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Bend that uses the creative arts to offer imaginative experiences in a safe and supportive environment, guiding young people (K-12) who may be struggling emotionally‚ particularly those with anxiety or depression, or who may be having a tough time coping with the state of the world. HÙE's creative wellness programs foster free expression while encouraging youth to explore their inner selves and emotions through art.
As has become our tradition, we're once again holding our HÙGE Community Giving Raffle, benefiting HÙE! Loads of sweater quantities of really beautiful yarn, interchangeable needle sets, kits, gifts, and so much more will be raffled off to many lucky winners. 100% of proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be donated to Hearts Unknown Education in support of their programming for Central Oregon youth.
Mark your calendars for a day at your LYS that you won't want to to miss!

FAQs
What's a Knitalong (or Crochetalong, or Makealong)?
A knitalong (KAL), Crochetalong (CAL) or Makealong (MAL) is a social event designed to bring the maker community together around a specific pattern or yarn – or sometimes both. Enjoy connecting with others while knitting or crocheting the same garment or working with a particular yarn together. This is a fantastic time to gather together with others in our fiber arts community, enjoy camaraderie, and get a little guidance and project support along the way.
What ISN'T a Knitalong/Crochetalong/Makealong?
A KAL/CAL/MAL is not a class. You should be reasonably familiar with the techniques required to work through the project at hand. However, help is never far away! If you ever find yourself in need of extended project support, drop in to our Help Session, offered weekly on Saturdays from 1-3pm.

At the end of class you'll be ready to cast on a winter's worth of show stopping stranded colorwork projects spanning the range from accessories to traditional Scandinavian colorwork sweaters and everything in between!
Materials: Materials included with your class registration are one Doodle Deck and two balls of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift (all items are limited to available stock on hand). Please bring a 24" US 4 and a 24" US 5 circular needle, stitch markers, tapestry needle and scissors.

In this class you'll learn to liberate your pullovers into cardigans in Icelandic Lopapeysa-style. Working in miniature and with first-hand knowledge passed from Icelandic Knitter, Hélène Magnusson to your instructors, we'll share the secret super powers of knitting stranded colorwork cardigans with Icelandic wool. In order to lessen the anxiety of steeking, our project will be a doll-sized sweater perfect for gifting to a little loved one or keeping as a reminder to yourself that you can do amazing things!
Your takeaways from this class will include color selection, color dominance and tips for maintaining proper tension in stranded colorwork knitting, building in that all-important steek gusset and how to make sure your sweater doesn't unravel on you.
Then we will fearlessly and deftly cut our cute sweaters right up the center, pick up a tidy edge and learn how to finish with it with a zipper!
Along the way we'll talk about Icelandic sheep, the history of the iconic lopapeysa, and why knitting with lopi yarn is different than knitting with other yarns.
