Let's Wrap the Tree!
Yarn Bombing Group
Some of the wonderful folks that helped us wrap the tree last time.
Many of you may remember the tree in front of the shop had a sweater! We promised the landlord we'd pull it down when it got dirty and we did. We were all ready to re-wrap it, got squares donated from many of you, then Covid hit. As you might imagine, we've been distracted for the last two years.

It's time to get the tree wrapped!

This weekend, stop in the shop and help us seam squares together! We'd also love to know if you're planning on coming in to help, so please let us know!

On Wednesday April 27 at 11AM, come join us to help wrap the tree!
Local yarn Store Day is coming next week!
We love Local Yarn Store Day, and we're so grateful for all your support for local brick and mortar yarn shops.

We'll have special products and some specials you don't want to miss. And, it doesn't matter if you're in town or across the country, join us for a couple of days of fun!

We have some great things planned for you in store as well as on line, so stay tuned, and get ready for one of the major events of the year!
New Crochet Hook Sets
We love these hooks from Prym, and we finally got the sets in! There are two sets, one for the smaller hooks, one for the larger hooks. They have a comfortable handle and the yarn slides smoothly on the smooth, plastic shaft.

Our only complaint is they don't cost enough!
Knit Bucket Hat Class
Join us On-Line on Saturday, May 14 from 9AM to Noon. The class will be recorded so you can review it after the fact. It's also handy if you can't make it that day.

In this workshop we will be working on the knitted Tweedy Bucket Hat designed by Lisa Myers of Fairmount Fibers. 
The workshop will include:
  • working with a provisional cast on technique
  • working the linen stitch in the round
  • joining a brim to create the classic bucket look

The workshop project uses 1 skein of the Manos del Uruguay Maxima yarn which comes with the class!
Crochet Hat Class
Join us On-Line Saturday May 21 from 9AM to Noon! The class will be recorded so you can can review it later, or if you are unable to attend on the 21st, you'll still be able to see the class!

Bucket hats are here and they're all the rage! In this workshop we will be working on the crochet Maxhill Hat by Audrey Drysdale, featured in the Noro Knitting Magazine #20, Spring/Summer

The workshop project uses 2 skeins of the Noro Sonata yarn which is included with the class.
Virtual Stitching in your Slippers
Join us on-line every Thursday at 4:30 PM Pacific time for Stitching in your Slippers. This is free open time where we chat, share ideas and projects. (Kris usually shows us the newest thing she's working on as well!)

It's the stitching group you didn't know you wanted to join. All skills and interests welcome from all over!
Help us fight Alzheimer's
We're joining the fight against Alzheimer's. We do have a fundraising team set up, but our main goal is to create blankets for use in memory care units and other facilities where they'll be used and loved.

If you'd like to lend a hand, we need folks to knit or crochet 12" x 12" squares which will then be turned into blankets. Use any machine washable yarn in the color purple and send them to us at:
Ball & Skein
attn: Blankets
4210 Bridge St STE 6
Cambria, CA 93428

We would like the squares by Wednesday, June 1. We'll meet at the shop on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5 to assemble the blankets! If you'd like to help, please let us know!
We're Hiring!
