Berroco Yarn 123 Dropship Program
The Spinning Room is thrilled to work with Berroco Yarns in their new new program which allow our customers to select any Berroco yarns from their website, and have the yarn shipped directly to you.
This is a great opportunity to try some yarns we don't normally carry. We are intrigued to see what everyone orders - that could tell us what we might want to bring into the shop! In addition to the Berroco yarn line, also look at: Lang, Lopi, Amano & Wooladdicts.
How does it work?
1. Take a look at the Berroco yarn page.
2. Pick out what you would like including color information ~ yes, they will ship a single skein! Warehouse is located in Northern Rhode Island.
3. Give us a call, or drop an email to the shop with your selection.
4. We will get your information, and give you a price.
5. Once we arrange payment, it will appear at the location of your choosing in a few business days.

Knit a Long March 2020 When: Thursdays in March, 6 to 8 pm Where: The Spinning Room in Altamont |
|
The shop just received two books from Melanie Berg with a large number of her beautiful shawl designs. This is one of the many reason why I want to use two of her patterns for our March KAL. Kleine Schwester (picture on the right) is really the Little Sister of her famous shawl Rheinlust (picture on the left), the only difference between the two patterns is that the lace portion for Kleine Schwester is a more beginner friendly and relaxing knit. You have the choice between these two patterns, both can be purchased on Melanie's Ravelry site. Also check out her interview in the Fruity Knitting podcast, episode 84, on Youtube. The interview starts at minute 15. -Heike-

February 2020 Knit~A~Long February Lady Sweater
|
Please Join Us on Wednesday Evenings in February, 6-8 PM.
A Knit~A~Long happens with a group of people doing the same project along with each other. The group often has a guide and members work together through their projects the only difference is the yarn you use and the size you make. This is an Elizabeth Zimmermann Design, interpreted into pattern mode by Pamela Wynn and a free pattern available on Ravelry. Sizes 35" to 52". But if you need a different size than that it should be easy to make adjustments! This pattern has been made about 13,000 by people all over the world thus far, so we know the pattern is well written. This is not a class and there is no fee, but we would like to know how many to plan for, so we would appreciate your letting us know if you plan to participate. Our lovely model Emily is wearing Kathy's sweater, that Kathy made for herself and so you can see how versatile and easy to wear it might be. Select your yarn at the sale and join us on Wednesday nights in February! |
The Periwinkle Sheep Trunk Show ~ Small Shop Saturday, November 30 10 ~ 4

Karin will bring a selection of yarns we have not seen at the shop, and feature a new cowl design by Tamy Gore. Kits will be available, but of course we will be more than happy to help you choose your own color combinations.
Plenty of additional pattern suggestions for all the yarns are of course available, and you may test knit or crochet these yarns yourself. In addition to these special yarns, which will only be available on Saturday, November 30th, Karin will also bring new stock to the shop. Dyeing is in progress as we speak, so stay tuned for more details - and more pictures of yummy yarn! Here’s a sneak peek of the colors Karin is working on for the cowl. |

Please join me
Wednesdays from 6 to 8 pm August 14, 21, 28 and September 4 for a Wooly Wormhead Knit Along. |

Wooly Wormhead is a British hat designer and offers patterns with interesting constructions. The idea is that each participate of the KAL chooses one of her designs, and we will support each other in finishing the hat in our time frame. Here is a link to her website and Ravelry group. She also offers a large variety of free patterns. If you want to see the finished projects from another Wooly Wormhead KAL please take a look at this Ravelry group. Here is a great interview with the designer in the Fruity Knitting Podcast on YouTube. Her interview starts at minute 16 of the podcast.

Rockin' Yarn on the Porch Chairs
July 10, 2019 Thank you to all who brought in swatches, yarn, samples and more to help decorate the chairs. They used to be ugly and all of peeling paint, and now they are colorful and fun! There are plenty of spots left that are not yet covered, so if you have a knitted item that can be used to add more color to either chair, please do! |
