Request a Class!

We've got some new functionality on our website - you can now request that a class be put on the schedule! Right now, this is only available for knitting classes, but we're working on getting it working for the crochet and other classes soon. 

To request a knitting class:
On a desktop or laptop computer, or on a mobile device in landscape mode, from the Yarnivore home page (www.yarnivoresa.net), click "Classes" and choose "Knitting Classes" from the drop-down menu.

On a mobile device, touch the "menu" icon (looks like three lines in the purple bar under the "search" bar, then hit classes, then "Knitting Classes."

Once you're on the Knitting Classes page (click to go there directly), you'll see headers for different class categories. You can click to skip to that category (eg: if you want a sock class, click "Knitting for Hands and Feet"), then scroll to the class you're interested in (or just have a wander through the page). If you click the class title, you will be taken to the class page, where you can sign up if it's on the schedule. If you look below the class description, click the link that says "click here to request this class." 

This will take you to a form (here's the Sock/Glove class request form) that will allow you go give us your contact information (so we can tell you when the class is scheduled or ask questions about your request), tell us the days/times that you're available, and of course, request the class. You can also use the form to tell us your idea for a class that you don't see on our list.

Clear as mud? Just ask us in the shop, and we'll show ya!

The Tip Jar

Want a yarn that's very soft, but also resistant to pilling? Look for a cabled yarn! What is that? A cabled yarn is a yarn that is plied from already-plied yarns. Here's a page showing how a very basic cabled yarn is made. Many popular yarns are cabled with 4 or more already-plied yarns. The downside? These yarns are often very splitty, so try a needle or hook with a more rounded/less pointy end.
