Join us for a Spring Yarn Tasting! Featuring Silk and Plant Fibers

April 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for a Spring Yarn Tasting! We’ll be exploring vegetal and silk yarns for spring and summer stitching.

In this special tasting, we’ll be sampling yarns made from plant-based fibers – linen, pineapple leaves, lyocell, silk, raffia, and so much more! Learn more about the fiber and construction of each new yarn, as well as trying it out on your needles or hook. And enjoy some delicious plant-based treats from our friends at Zen Press while you stitch. We will provide pattern inspirations for both knit and crochet projects. Please plan to bring needles or hooks sized for fingering to worsted-weight yarn. All participants will receive 15% off these yarns during and after the tasting.

  • Opportunity to stitch with and take home a sample of each yarn
  • Learn from our resident expert about the unique benefits of each
  • Be inspired by our project ideas
  • Shop the sampled yarns at 15% off during the event!
