Big Day on May 5!

That's the day when our long- and not-so-patiently- awaited Madelinetosh yarns will be on the shelves at VYT! We hope you'll agree that the wait was worth it when you snatch up your own supply of these beautiful yarns. Get the Tosh Sock or Pashmina and make your favorite beautiful creation! See you on the 5th!

Knit-in at Third Place Books: This Sunday!

Third Place Books and Village Yarn and Tea invite you all to join us this Sunday for another fabulous Knit-in at the Commons! We'll celebrate Mother's Day early with music by harpist Judith Cummings. Victoria will be there from VYT with Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool for you to sample, as well as the new spring yarns by Mirasol. Join us for the fun! Sunday, May 2 from 1-4pm.

If you'd like to take advantage of a great learning opportunity after spending a little time at the Commons, call to sign up for Lisa Ellis's "Design Your Own Summer Shell" class, also on Sunday, May 2, from 2-5pm at Village Yarn and Tea. Lisa will show you the ins and outs of making a pattern your own using different yarns and stitches. Call today to reserve your space - cost is only $30!

See you this weekend!

Sassy Selbuvotter Class

We're hatching a Crochet Nite!

For all of you crocheters who have been waiting for your very own "nite" at VYT - it's here this week! Bring your favorite hook and yarn and come share your ideas with other crocheters! Thursday, April 15, 6-8pm and the third Thursday of each month from now on! See you there.

Spin... or crochet - or BOTH!

This Thursday, the spinners will gather to make a little new yarn. If you don't have enough yarn in your life already, come join us - there will be all kinds of wheel spinners and spindle spinners there to show you what it's all about! Thursday, April 8, 6-8pm.

Once you've got your yarn all spun up, join us next week for our first-ever Crochet Nite! We're really excited to be a place where crocheters can gather each month to get those hooks flying, share ideas and generally have a great time. Julie Holetz, local crochet author and pattern designer, will join us and tell you all about the classes she's offering at VYT this quarter. If you've never crocheted and want to see how it's done, come on over! Thursday, April 15, 6-8pm.

See you there!
