What’s happening?
LYS Day is April 26th!
We’ll have all kinds of yarny fun that day, so mark your calendar.

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?
Top of the mornin’ to ya!
The March colorway of Emma’s Yarn will transport you to spring in Ireland.
If you’re looking for a beautiful tool to enhance your knitting and crocheting, we’ve got just the thing for you.
We now carry Magnetic Pendulum Yarn Winders handcrafted locally by Michael S. Bass Creations.
What are you gifting?
A beginner’s embroidery kit might be just the thing to get someone started on a crafty adventure.
Our Jessica Long kits include everything needed to complete the project.
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!
February - #7 (#11 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - March 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—
They say March roars in like a lion and out like a lamb. If you live anywhere in our area, you know that in less than one week’s time in February, we had floods, tornado warnings, and several inches of snow, so we’re hoping the lion has already come and gone! Nicer weather and warmer temps are bound to be on the way, so get out to enjoy it and stop by to see us. We’ll be looking for you!
Take care,
Gayla
