We just added more colors of Berroco Tillie to our selection. Tillie is a luxurious hand-dyed yarn made of pima cotton and cupro, a sustainable silk-like byproduct of cotton processing. It's chainette construction creates a lightweight yarn with generous yardage, along with amazing softness and structure. Made in Peru, this cotton blend has a gorgeous drape, smooth feel, and long-lasting durability. Plus it’s machine washable! Tillie is a drapey DK-weight, making it perfect for patterns like the Tillie Poncho by Linda Wolthuis (above,) the Freden Wrap by Asa Buchta, the Kassel Wrap by Asa Buchta (crochet,) the Peony Top by Minimi Knit Designs and the Bryony Summer Cardi by Alison Green. |

Contour Shawl
Looking for a stunning accessory to throw on anytime you need something cozy with a lot of style? Join Raellyn for a two part class featuring the Contour Shawl, a deceptively simple asymmetrical shawl that lays securely on your shoulders as it curls around and hugs your neck. This shawl can be made beautifully with variegated yarns just using one colorway, but really shows off its style when using two (or more!) colors to flaunt the strong texture and ridge created in the easily memorizable two row pattern.
If you’re an adventurous beginner with basic crochet skills, or just interested in trying something new, join us for a fun class. You’ll learn how to build a shawl from the center top outward, carry up and change colors in alternating rows, and how to block awkwardly shaped projects.
Teacher: Raellyn Hatter

Stately Windows Beanie/Cowl
For this class you will chose to knit either the Stately Windows Beanie or Stately Windows Cowl by Niki Griffin.
