Deadline for replies: March 6

The pandemic won't last forever. With spring on the horizon, we're evaluating what sorts of classes our VIPs — YOU — would like to see us offer.

If you haven't yet, please take a moment to click on the survey button below to weigh in. Whatever your chosen craft, our questionnaire encompasses the many fiber arts our shop supports: knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, and felting. We've included questions about both in-person and virtual classes — since we don't think Zoom will be going away, plus it gives us a chance to connect with our long-distance and homebound friends.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Tuesday, March 16
6pm on Zoom

It's another free KAL with Debi Padlicki! You'll have fun knitting along with her on this quick, slip-stitch hat (for intermediate beginners on up). Suggested needle sizes: US 6 and US 7 (both 16", or 32" if you already know Magic Loop; technique will not be taught).

The pattern is downloadable on Ravelry for $3, and all it takes to participate is purchase of Plymouth Select Merino Superwash in 2 contrasting hanks at a 10% discount of $28.80. You'll love working with this easy-care, worsted-weight yarn (216yds/hank). Pick your colors and we'll give you the Zoom codes!

Call 530-642-2270 or stop by the shop to pick out your yarn and join the party!

​Come in today and see for yourself!


In-classroom classes canceled
​
El Dorado County remains in the most restrictive "purple tier," which means we cannot offer classes in our classroom at this time. 
​
We still need to limit the number of people in the shop to 25%. Thank you for your continuing patience during this trying time—we hope you and your family are staying safe.

Please remember our Zoom classes and social hours are ALWAYS open. While there will be no Knit U in the classroom, Debi P's Zoom Knit U happens every Tuesday morning.

Have you sat in on one of our FREE get-togethers on Zoom yet? They're open to ALL of our fiber friends! Come sit with us a spell -- we offer both social knitting/crochet and Knit-A-Longs/Learn-A-Longs!

Store COVID-19 Practices:
  • Since we are unable to disinfect our yarn -- and in order to protect the people working -- shoppers entering the store will be required to wear protective face coverings. Our floor workers will be wearing masks as well.
  • We will supply hand sanitizer to use as you enter the shop.
  • In an effort to facilitate social distancing, we will be following the county health department guidelines regarding the number of people who can be in the shop at any time. Please be patient and be prepared to wait outside if we have reached that limit in the shop.
  • Always maintain physical distancing (6') with other shoppers and staff.
  • We will be wiping down hard surfaces frequently during the day.
  • We are accepting returns or exchanges following our normal guidelines at this time. Items will be quarantined for the CDC- recommended time period before being returned to the shelf.
  • In-person help on projects may be provided following social distancing guidelines. There will also be no knitting or crocheting at the front table.
  • Our restroom is closed to customers. 
  • Not comfortable shopping in person? We will continue to offer our phone order service and you can pick items up curbside if you like or have them mailed to you. Call us anytime at 530-642-2270 and leave a message; we'll get back to take your order, answer any questions, or do a virtual yarn showing for you in the comfort of your own home.
