| In the past two weeks we've received and stocked our shelves with a lot of new yarn. One exciting new addition is Berroco's new DK weight Vintage. We're also carrying several new yarns from Feza, including the fun veregated chunky yarn you see in the hat at right and their Alp Light yarn (shown below), which is a skein of different coordinating yarns that produces fun textured stripes in your project. Also new is a selection of Mondial Dulce Mohair to complement our existing mohair selection. |  |

January 2011 Class Schedule
Please call ahead to register for classes. In most cases payment needs to be received in advance of the class to reserve your seat. We will cancel classes that do not have the required minimum people registered 72 hours before the class; if you are in a class where this is the case, we will call the number you provide when you register to let you know. If you need to cancel your place in a class, we require 24 hours notice as a courtesy to the instructor otherwise you will still be responsible for the cost of the class.
To help you select beading and jewelry-making classes, we’ve added information about the level of the class. The progression of difficulty ratings, from easiest to hardest, is: Beginner, Intermediate Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate, & Advanced.
- Beginner classes, open to everyone, will be mindful of those with zero experience and will take the time to explain the basics of tools & materials along with the techniques.
- Intermediate Beginner teaches you new ways to use basic tools and techniques. It will assume you understand the functions of the basic tools such as round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, flat nose pliers, wire cutters, crimping pliers and can carry out basic techniques without assistance - like opening and closing jump rings, crimping a crimp tube, applying a crimp cover, making an eye-pin, and loop-and-wrap.
- Intermediate classes builds further upon your basic knowledge and skills.
- Advanced Intermediate classes will often use techniques learned in Intermediate classes and build upon them.
- Similarly, the Advanced classes will either use multiple Intermediate techniques or build upon Advanced Intermediate techniques.
