JUNE 2023


See the beautiful smile on Cheri Pinner's face? Want to know why? She is a fairly new knitter who has just finished a poncho for a granddaughter. Isn't it just adorab

We can put a smile on your face, too, and teach you a new craft or help you refine the craft you love.



Big news for weavers: we are moving Weaving With Virginia to Mondays. This is also the day our spinners meet to spin, but we can handle both. The shop is closed on Mondays, but weavers and spinners can come and weave or spin from 11:00-3:00. Virginia will be there to help with your project.

***You can bring your weaving on every Monday!***
Here are some of our new favorite finished projects in the shop: 
Ready to knit another National Parks Hat? How about two? Check out the June Class Schedule to see when we are offering classes on the Big Bend and Carlsbad Cavern Hats. Both of these patterns come from the Knitting the National Parks Hat, by Nancy Bates.
"Kitation" by Casapinka is in the shop! It takes two skeins of any sock/fingering weight yarn. Shawl color kits pictured, starting at the top and going clockwise:
  1. It's Sherberthday set
  2. Lady Lavender set
  3. Rainbow Fish set
  4. Wink set
  5. Happily Ever After set
  6. Mexican Wedding Dress set
 
Most of these colors are available on our online store at silverthreadsyarn.com 
Amy just finished a shop favorite, “Reyna” by Noora Laivola. She knit this in Emma’s Yarn and the color is “It's Sherberthday.” We have lots and lots of color choices of fingering weight yarn for this one skein project.  

It's Atenti time in the shop! We talk about these bags a lot and once you own one, you know why. Pictured here are the Lolita bags. This makes a great purse and a project bag. Each bag comes with another pouch that also makes a great project bag or notions bag.  

Want to make your own custom colors of yarn? You know we can take care of that. Give us a call to set up a spinning lesson and you will be on your way. We offer lessons on a drop spindle or on a traditional spinning wheel. Lessons are $25.00 an hour.
