Hello talented fiber artists!
On Sunday November 1st, we will be open from 11-4:30 pm to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. 🎉

Our trunk show features gorgeous hand dyed yarn from KraeO Yarns (KraeO / Fuzz Family Yarn) available in three different bases. Kristin Oldach has a masters in painting from The School of the Art Institute Chicago and a decade of experience in the knitwear business, bringing a studied and applied understanding of color and design to KraeO.

**************************

Beautiful hand made art from three artists will be available for purchase via Venmo or cash. :-)

**************************

What perfect timing for debuting a new yarn line to the shop as well as some mark downs to make room for new fiber. :-)

Ten percent of sales on our anniversary will be donated to Cunningham Township (Cunningham Township Supervisor).

Look forward to seeing you and feel free to DM us with any questions! 💕

Fiber: Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed

The Cocoknits Maker’s Board has earned its keep—such a clever tool for those wanting to avoid screens.

While I typically knit English style, I am learning how to knit Continental with my left hand (for the contrasting color) though, admittedly, I am not at all fluid! It’s a lot of fun! :-)
