Welcome

Camp Erin Bears
Calling all knitters, we need your help! We are in our 6th year of knitting and dressing bears for Camp Erin. The "naked" bears are donated to Hospice and we knit them sweaters and accessories....use your imagination or one of our free patterns.  Great Yarns also has a "bear" stash if you need yarn.

The bears are given to children who have lost a loved one and are attending bereavement camp run by Hospice of Snohomish County.  In addition Erin Bears are given to children on Hospice service and there siblings.

Charity knitting is a great way to get involved and these adorable bears will help heal the hearts of young children dealing with a loss. 

Stop by the store and check out the bear of your choice, return him dressed on or before the 27th of August.

Barry Klein from Trendsetter is coming! 
The design force behind Trendsetter Yarns will be in our store Thursday July 24th teaching  Knitting with Intermezzo.  This fabulous ribbon yarn can be knit alone but he will teach you how to use intermezzo to make perfect ruffles to outline to your stitch work and add beautiful borders.  He'll bring lots of wonderful samples...throws, scarves, sweaters and adorable baby things...you'll be inspired by his creativity.

Thursday 24th, 1-4pm Intermezzo Class $35

Barry will also be hosting a Yarn Tasting....what is a yarn tasting???  You'll get to preview all the brand new yarns for fall & winter and be treated to a fashion show of all his new designs...so bring your needles and swatch the new yarns that will be hitting the shelves later this year.

What fun would a yarn tasting be without a little wine and cheese. Please join us for a fun-filled evening...etc.

Thursday 24th, 6-8:30pm Yarn Tasting $35
*Space is limited, please call to register.
