Get Some Creating Time!
KNITTING and WEAVING during Springtime in Fredericksburg, of course!
We always see these fantastic looking retreats and shows, but they're so far away. Not this one. You can attend a Cre8tive Escape next May right here in the Hill Country. For more information, follow this link: Cre8tive Escapes Fredericksburg.
Need an even closer retreat?
Look no further! We are ready for you to retreat to our couch or our classroom any time you need a break from daily life, whether it's for our bi-monthly Friday Night Cravings Stitch Night, or any time when you just need to escape.
We're also happy to help you spread the word about YOUR knit, crochet, or other yarn craft group! Let us know if you have a Stitch'n'B*tch or crafting club and we'll let the Yarnivore Community know!

Helpful Hint of the Week
Do you find your hands snagging on fine, fuzzy, or silky yarns? The solution is in the kitchen! Pour a small amount (½ tsp-ish) of sugar in your hand, then enough oil to cover it (olive oil works great) to moisten all the sugar. Rub this sugar/oil scrub around your hands, especially the rough spots. Wash off with a gentle hand soap. Moisturizes and exfoliates and prevents snags on soft fibers!
