Happy Local Yarn Store Day! |
|
We love Local Yarn Store Day, and we're so grateful for all your support for local brick and mortar yarn shops. With many of us not traveling due to the pandemic, we're celebrating Local Yarn Store Day in the shop and on line! |
|
We're celebrating in the shop and on-line for two days, Saturday April 30 and Sunday, May 1!
In the shop, come see the new Manos Mini Skein collection. We also have a great In-Store free pattern promotion from Berroco for Saturday April 30.
In addition to all the wonderful products from our amazing vendor partners, you can get 20% off non-sale items in-store and on-line! (There's also a way to get any Ball & Skein pattern for free!)
Time to get an interchangeable set from addi? We think so.

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!

Until next time, please stay well, get vaccinated and boosted, and...
