Coming in November!

Debbie Stoller, author of the Stitch & Bitch books, will be visiting us at VYT for an afternoon of knitting and informal tips and tricks from her new book, Stitch & Bitch Superstar Knitting! Yes, it's true, on Tue, Nov 9th starting at 1pm, she'll sign copies of her book and get to know all of YOU - our wonderful VYT customers.


AND, to top it all off, Susan from Abstract Fibers will be in the house on Nov 11th for our monthly spin-in. Didn't collect enough of the wonderful Abstract fibers during our Oct Knit Nite? Now's your chance to get more!

Mark your calendars with a big, red X so you don't forget to visit VYT on both Tuesday, Nov 9 and Thursday, Nov 11!

Fall Classes

Look at those sparkles!

Okay, it's not quite officially Fall yet, but I've seen gray and I've seen rain, so official or not - I think it's here! It's time to knit, people! It's time to take a class and learn that technique you haven't had time for all summer. To that end, check out our new Fall Class Schedule. You can learn to do things like the mysterious intarsia, the practical knitted, felted clogs, the quick and easy needle-felted critters or the silvery, sparkley Viking Knitting (which isn't really knitting, but that's neither here nor there - and here's a picture of the finished items from the last class). Go directly to our website and find out which fabu classes you'd like to stake a claim to. Yes. Go now. Here.

A Cotton Sale to End All Cotton Sales!

That's right, it's time to pack up the beach umbrella, put away the vacation luggage and think about Fall yarns already. So come on in and get yourself some sale cotton: pima cotton, cotton/acrylic, hemp/cotton, cotton/silk, cotton/linen - YEP, we've got cotton. It's pretty much a wardrobe staple these days and it knits up into fine baby items and fancy washcloths just in time for your holiday gift baskets.


So come get your cotton this weekend while it's 25-40% off!
Friday through Sunday, August 27-29
Fri 10-6; Sat 10-5; Sun Noon-5

The Breast Care Express is here!
