Skacel Unisono and Trekking hand art
We are working hard to keep a new and exciting selection of yarn and supplies available for you. This month we received a shipment of sock yarns from Skacel, including the yarns for their
Twenty Years of Trekking Knit-Along, with Michelle Hunter contest.
If that weren't exciting enough, we also started carrying KnitPicks Harmony wood and Zephyr clear acrylic interchangeable kits, extra interchangeable tips and cords, as well as Harmony wood straight needles, sock yarn dpn kits, and cable needles.

February 2011 Class Schedule
More Class Information
In addition to the regular information listed below we wanted to clarify an existing policy. We are able to offer classes with experienced and talented instructors at affordable prices by only running classes with a minimum number of participants. If register for a class and cannot attend you must cancel at least a day (or, in extenuating circumstances, as soon as possible) in advance of the class otherwise you will remain responsible for paying your class fee.
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.
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.
