Want to know what’s happening at TWN?
You’ve come to the right place!
Once each month, we’ll send you our newsletter to keep you in the know.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
What’s happening?
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with us today!
Stop by on February 14th for a little party treat and pick a card to receive 15%, 20%, or 25% off your purchase.
Drop off your quilt top on the 14th and get a discount on the quilting portion of your invoice.
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.

What’s new?
Emma’s Yarn February ‘25 is looking pretty in pink!
What are you gifting?
Whether it’s for a special occasion or for no reason at all, we think a cute towel is always a sweet gift.
Do you see them?
They're watching you!
All those unfinished projects----
Come to UFO!
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!
January - #3 (#11 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - February 20, 2025
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.

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
It’s already February! Can you believe it? I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that 2025 is already racing along. We can’t slow time, but we can be intentional about the way we spend it. Want to knit something for yourself? Go for it! Looking to begin early crocheting on Christmas gifts? Get started! Have a hankering to learn something new? Great idea! We’ll be glad to help, so stop by to see us. We’ll be looking for you!
Take care,
Gayla
That's it for our newsletter this month, but don’t forget to keep an eye on our Facebook page, blog, and website.
