Weaving With Artyarn

Advanced Rigid Heddle #2

Good Monday morning to you! It is sunny! The birds are flying around and singing up a storm! Mid 60's when I came in this morning. It is going to be a wonderful day! Tonight is open spinning night here at the store. Bring your wheels and drop spindles and join us. If you haven't tried spinning and want to see what it is all about, drop on in between 6 and 9 and check it out! We have a lot of fun and we get inspired by those around us. We offer beginners classes as well as teach other techniques. I sell Ashford spinning wheels & products and would love to have you join the growing group. Wednesday we have a class for advance rigid heddle weaving. This class will teach you to warp with handspun art yarn and show you how to create lovely scarfs using this technique. See the link below for more details. There are still spots open for this class. You must own your own loom and have a reed dent of 2.5 or 5 to handle the warp. Have a wonderful day and see you soon! https://www.facebook.com/events/1894571677486151/

I will be sending a package of knitted knockers to Knitting for Those In Need on Tuesday. If anyone has some that need to go, please drop them off at the store today or Monday so I can ship them in one package. Thank you for your continued support with our charity projects. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!

Tri-loom Weaving

It's Saturday! The sun is shining! Blue skies! What more could you ask for? You could ask for a class that teaches you how to make great items using a triangular loom. Well, we just happen to do that here at Long Tail Knits! As a matter of fact we have such a class today! It starts at 11:00 and we have an opening just for you! Come on in and join in the fun. This is a great technique and you can make shawls, blankets and other items using these looms. They come in various sizes ranging from 18" to 6'. We have 4' and 5' looms available for purchase today in the store. Orders for other sizes take 1 - 2 weeks delivery time to the store. Here is the link for more details. I wish you have a wonderful day and hope to see you soon! We are open from 10 to 4 today. Closed tomorrow so come and get your yarn supplies! Don't get caught in an emergency yarn situation! https://www.facebook.com/events/241107722963687/

The core spinning class for this evening has just been canceled. Illness and general life has postponed this to another day. On the bright side, early evening for me.

Friday, April 7 and we have a couple inches of snow on the ground. The roads are, for the most part, clear and wet. The city road crew has done a good job having everything cleared this morning. I did see a car in the median on route 8 on the way in. You could tell it just happened. Now the parking lot, that's another story. Hasn't been plowed, there is a layer of snow and slush out there. Before careful coming into the store. Don't want anyone to fall and get hurt. Tonight is open craft night, starts at 5, and we also have a spinning class on Core Spinning that starts at 6. Do not let that keep you from coming out for the open night of knitting or crochet. There is plenty of room for everyone! Tomorrow is Tri-loom weaving and as of right now, there are still a couple of spots. This is a fun technique, low cost and you walk away with a finished shawlette. The cost is $35.00 plus a couple skeins of yarn. Call and let me know that your are interested in taking the class. The next one is May 6th. Have a safe, wonderful day!
