Join us for Workshop Wednesdays!
Every month or so, we’ll begin a new project together.
Our goal is to help you learn new skills or practice old ones.
There is no charge for attending TWN Workshop Wednesdays.
The only requirement is that you purchase your project materials here at TWN.
A basic knowledge of knitting will be needed for these projects.
You don’t have to attend every Wednesday--- come when you can, when you need help, or when you just want to join the party!
Workshop Wednesdays happen every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 until 5:00.
-
June - emotional support chicken (Hens everywhere!)
-
July- wool applique (Great job!)
-
Aug/Sept - shawl (Intarsia!)
-
Oct - needle punch (Beautiful work!)
-
Nov - rug hooking (Those hooks are hooking!)
-
Dec/Jan - vest (split sides!)
-
Jan - embroidery (guest teacher!)
-
Feb/Mar - shawl (lace!)
-
Apr - shibori dyeing

This is our time to enjoy a variety of fiber crafts.
For Sit & Stitch, your crafting materials need not have been purchased from TWN.
Bring your project, and come craft with us!
Join us on the Third Thursday of each month from 5:00 until 7:00.

Just give us a call and let us know you’re coming!
What’s new?
Looking for some fun?
You’ll find it in Madelinetosh’s November Hue of the Moment – Plastic Flamingo!
Beautiful and different!
November ‘24 colorway of Emma’s Yarn is a blend of peachy shades of fall.
What are you gifting?
We have gifts for everyone – even non-crafters.
Gift a book pillow to your favorite reader!
What’s the UFO number for this month?
Do you see them?
They're watching you!
All those unfinished projects----
If you’re looking for a fun way to finish your WIPs or begin some new projects, this is the way to do it.
Begin by making a list of twelve projects.
Your list of twelve projects can include unfinished projects, new projects, parts of a large project, or a combination of the three. Each month, we'll draw a number which will identify the project you'll work on over the coming month. On the third Thursday of each month, we'll meet to share our projects and choose a new number. Just think! At the end of the year, you'll feel so good with all those FOs!
October - #11 (#8 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - We won’t be meeting in November or December, but we’ll still post the numbers for participants.
Join us on January 16, 2025 to begin a new year of UFO!
What? UFO - Unfinished Objects
When? Third Thursday of each month 5:00 until 7:00
How? Work on the chosen number project from your list until the third Thursday
**For UFO projects, yarn does not have to be purchased from TWN.
What are you making?
Isn’t it fun to share your current project (or projects!) with friends?
We love sharing with each other and with our customers.
