CROCHET A LONG STARTS THIS WEEK!
All but one of the prepaid kits have been picked up!

I will offer drop in hours Wednesday and Thursday this week for anyone to come in and get started on the starter rows. Afterwards, I will also posted Betty's tutorial video. There is no need for me to do a youtube from my perspective because Betty's are STELLAR, no notes!

If you didn't preorder a kit - have no fear! We can still get you started and help you choose yarns for the 6 day Superstar Blanket.

Got a case of the FOMO?
Couldn’t make it to Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival and want that festival fix?
Come shop the truck today - parked right outside the store, and get 20% off anything that’s on the truck.
(Basically, come buy it before I pull everything back in the shop)

Cheesecake Lady cups tomorrow $6? FIVE bucks. All day.
We have a plying class going on and can fill you in on upcoming classes.
You can meet Ray our shop bun and get some emotional support cuddles.

I’m throwing the yarn truck door open at LEAST by 12, likely a little earlier

With very grateful hearts we THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for such a great show at Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival! We are blown away by the support and love! If you’re new here, welcome! If you’ve been here and are an OG, thank you!
We had amazing sales, sold our two spinners and FOUR traditional wheels! 🫶🙌🏻🫶🏻🤩🤯 We love this show (especially since it’s a home show) and Heather and her team did a fantastic job organizing and planning the event. We are home, so tired but very blessed.

If you didn’t get a chance to shop the truck or head to Franklin this weekend — I. Got. You. Wait till tomorrow 🤫🤫🤫 I’ll post a surprise at 10am Sunday for those who missed out!
