Need a Hand?
Yarnivore has many ways to help you with your projects, depending on the level of assistance you need:
1. Counter Help - This is the help we give most often. We offer everyone up to 15 minutes of FREE help on their projects - and that's 15 minutes of our time, not yours. If you dropped a stitch, or lost your place in a pattern, or have some weird thing going on that you're not sure what to do, we will help you for FREE (of course, if the shop is super busy, you may need to wait a bit) or find a way to get you the help you need.
2. Private Lessons - Many of our teachers offer private lessons, including Dawn, Patrick, Debbi, Caryn, and Wendy. We have someone who can help you with any project on almost any yarn craft, from knitting and crocheting to spinning, tatting, naalbinding, weaving, and more! Private Lessons are $18/hr for one person, $12/hr per person for groups, or $10 for a half hour lesson for one person.
3. Classes - Wendy offers a Knitting Workshop class at least twice a month where you can bring any knit project at all and work on it in a class setting with other students for 2 hours - for the same price as a one hour Private Lesson. We also have classes on many other subjects ready to help you.
4. We will also do our best to help over the phone (210-979-8255) or through messages on our Facebook or Instagram pages, but please be aware that we may need to actually see your project in person. And probably if you message us at 3 am, it might be a few hours before you get a response.

Featured Yarn and Pattern
Just look at this gorgeous crescent shawl! It's mostly garter stitch and the lacey part is easier than you would think. A stunning result without too much work!
We suggest trying two colors of Crating My Chaos Elite for some lovely color contrasts.
New Stuff & Restocks
We have a new yarn we're really excited about! It's so new it doesn't even have a Ravelry page yet! The yarn is called Rainbow Collection from Cestari Sheep & Wool Company. It's an organic 50/50 wool/cotton blend and it feels so good - sort of cool and dry and squishy - it even smells good!
We're also restocked on:
-Needles, including Lykke and Driftwood, HiyaHiyas, and Addi Flexiflips
-Cascade Heritage
-8/2 Tencel cones for weavers (or lace knitters and crocheters)
-Plymouth Baby Alpace Worsted
-and MORE!
