Spring yarns are popping up around the shop and, as it's now officially spring, is there any more appropriate yarn to represent the change of season than Bamboo Bloom!? It's a chunky weight, thick and thin yarn that is a bamboo/ wool blend hat is perfect for cowls, shawls and even sweaters! We have a fantastic in store pattern that uses one skein of Bloom and one skein of worsted weight to make the "Stripes in Bloom" cowl, pictured here!

We had a packed full class on Saturday for our succulent needle felting workshop, and I'm pretty much just obsessed with everyone's creations! Cacti 🌵 galore and some gorgeous succulents were made and planted in to these adorable mini pots! We used photos for inspiration but ultimately everyone just used their own creativity to design whatever they felt inspired to make. How cool is it that they all turned out so unique and different! We will be offering this class again in the near future- stay tuned for details. Kits are available in the store at any time! . . . . . #needlefelting #needlefeltingcactus #feltedcactus #feltedsucculents #feltedterrarium #uniquecreations #felting #makeyourown #everyoneisunique #feltingdesigns #soadorable #cantgetenough #stixandstonesnbclasses #stixandstonesnb #downtownnorthbay #doitalldowntown #shoplocal #learnlocal #buylocal #doitalldowntown @ Stix and Stones

Unicorn pillow fun at kids camp! What a blast these kids have been having this week. It's been amazing to watch them create and make unique projects from what we teach them to do. I love how they aren't afraid to do things a little differently because it's how they want to do it. If only we could continue to capture that as adults. We are always so concerned with doing our crafts "right" where we should try to aim a bit more focus on the fun and creative side. If it looks great, then what does it matter if it's right? It's right because you say so. Last day today... but more kids camps to come! . . . . . #kidscamps #marchbreakkidscamp #marchbreak #marchbreakfun #learntocreate #becreative #creativekids #kidscansew #kidscanknit #learnfromkids #innovative #creative #somuchfun @ Stix and Stones
