Events

The Brooklyn Tweed Wool People 10 trunk show will be in space through just this weekend. See all of these beautiful garments in person from designers scattered all over the world!

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, August 27^th for the Ross Farms Pop Up Shop. Ross Farms is located outside Pittsburgh and features amazing wool from a variety of rare breeds of sheep. Most of their natural yarns even have the name and picture of the animal that provided the wool! You can’t get much more direct than that! Learn all about these unique animals from the shepherds who care for them, all while discovering some really beautiful yarns.

Jared Flood will be in space on Thursday, September 8^th from 6-9pm for a book signing of his brand new book Woolens. Be sure to visit the shop or give us a call to purchase your copy ahead of time. We will also have all of the items from the collection, so you can see them for yourself as well.

The annual Miss Babs Trunk Show will be happening on September 10^th and 11^th this year! This trunk show will feature some brand new colors and bases as well and tried-and-true favorites. See a variety of samples and meet Babs herself. Please note the special hours on Sunday for the trunk show yarns.

We are so excited to announce a special screening of the Yarn! movie on September 15th at the AMC Hoffman in Alexandria. Tickets are $10 and the movie will only be shown if we sell 100 tickets by September 8^th (19 still need to be sold!). We’ll have a pre-movie gathering at the shop before we all meet at the theatre for a fun night of stitching!
