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.

Do you like to knit? Crochet? Embroider? Something else?
Bring your project -- whatever it is -- and join us on Third Thursday.
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!

Go to school with TWN!
If you’d like to learn (or relearn) how to knit or crochet, join us during Workshop Wednesdays.
There is no charge for the class, but you will need to purchase your supplies from TWN.
Just give us a call and let us know you’re coming!
What’s new?
When rain clouds gather, grab the April colorway of Emma’s Yarn and craft to your hearts content.
Some of our most recent kits in the store contain more beautiful Emma’s Yarn to knit the Among the Wildflowers shawl by Lisa K. Ross.
Stop by or take a look on our website to see the colorway choices.
What are you gifting?
The weather is getting warmer, so if a special little someone needs a cuddly friend, get a bee or a dragonfly!
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!
March - #12 (#11 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - April 17, 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.
