Yarns by Design now has a facebook page. It's easier to post pictures there, so we'll be updating it with news and photos when something new comes in.
Winter Class Schedule
Warm up this winter with a class (or two)! We have knitting, spinning, weaving and crochet classes on the schedule for the new year. Due to strong interest for beginning knitting classes, we've made some changes to the schedule. We've added another Introduction to Knitting evening class in January, starting Tuesday January 17. The Swirl Scarf class has moved to Feb. 14 and the Warm Winter Clogs class has moved to Saturdays in February. Thrummed Mittens will be in March. The new dates and times are posted on the class schedule page.
Spring Midwest Masters Registration is Open!
Class listings and teacher bios are posted. The teachers are Lucy Neatby, Beth Brown-Reinsel, Gwen Bortner and Ragga Eiriksdottir.

Check Out What's New
More needles! We now carry the Knitter's Pride Dreamz circular needles, including the interchangeable set. Pretty colors and a nice point are the hallmarks of these needles. Looking for a special treat for the holidays? We have Signature Needles in circulars (up to a size 9) and double points (US sizes 1 through 3) back in stock. The cable on the circular needles is wonderfully flexible. The double points have a smooth knitting surface that isn't too slippery - your socks won't fall off these needles! Silver tipped for a little holiday bling and they're made in Wisconsin - what's not to love?
Classic Elite has introduced a new line of yarns in solid, natural colors. Vista is a wool-alpaca blend in a worsted weight with lots of spring. We have a gorgeous sample scarf knit up from it. Crestone is pure wool in a worsted weight that features some marled (think ragg wool socks) colors. Vail is an alpaca-bamboo blend in a fingering weight. It's perfect for lace projects, fingerless gloves and maybe socks (if you don't mind handwashing them!) The pattern book has some great designs for all of these yarns.
Looking for a tweed yarn? How about a Donegal Tweed blended with cashmere? It's a soft yarn that would make great men's scarves or hats.
To make room for all the new yarns, we had to move lots of stuff to the sale area. Come in soon for the best selection and get a great deal on your next sweater project!
