We got some great questions about winding your yarn so Linda is here to help! Learn to use a swift and winder to make yarn cakes. The yarnistas are happy to wind yarn for you in the shop at the counter, or you can use our swift and winder upstairs to try it yourself! We also stock some gorgeous swifts and ball winders in space for those who prefer to wind at home. #lykkemakehappy #lykkeswift #lykkeballwinder #yarncake #windingyarn #yarnskeins #yarnlovers #knitting #crochet #shopalxva #otboutiques

Why just tell people you made it when you can say it with these cute labels from @sarahhearts too? There's a label for every craft, which is your favorite?

Join our Hook & Needle Exchange! Starting today, bring in hooks, needles, and sets that you no longer use, and then join us during Make in Public Day on June 8th to take home hooks or needles that work for you. It’s free! This event is intended to help offset the rising costs of knitting and crochet tools in the US due to recent tariffs put in place by President Trump.

The fine print:
All unclaimed items will be donated to Friends of Guest House and Project Knitwell. Please bring only modern hooks and needles (no vintage or aluminum needles, please).

Summer doesn't have to mean putting away your handknits and the Rosenlund Top by @sari_n_ is a perfect example! Stitch it up in Berroco Pima Soft for a cotton sweater that will look and feel great even as the temperatures rise.
