Undercover Yarn Operatives
Secret Identities Still Safe!
Our faces will stay covered for a while yet...
To make up for it, we are going to be starting up real classes again soon, and there WILL be a yarn crawl. We don't have more details yet, but we will soon!
Enjoy keeping your face hidden, and we'll try to find those tweezers and pluck our chin hairs real soon!
Be safe, be well, be kind!

Featured Pattern & Yarn
Fibra Natura Flax is a 100% linen yarn, available in a wide range of solid shades. Versatile for home dec and wearable garments, Flax blooms and softens beautifully with each trip through the washing machine. We love Flax because it's easy care (it LOVES the washer AND the dryer), feels nice and cool to the touch, drapes beautifully, and holds its shape!
Here are TWO patterns perfect for this super summer yarn:
-Cowan (crochet - shown at right) is a light, open-front vest perfect for south Texas summers. A beautiful openwork pattern is splashed across the lower hem, reminiscent of wildflowers growing in a meadow. Wear this garment with the fronts hanging free, or pin one or both sides up with your favorite shawl pin. Designed by Rachel Brockman, $5 in-store/Ravelry (link is to Universal's website, but purchase is through Rav).
-Channel classic American style this summer with the Independence Day Tank. Knit in 100% linen, Flax creates a fabric that is very wearable in the heat of summer. Front and back are knit sideways in stockinette stitch stripes. Casual rolled stockinette edges in blue finish things off. FREE in-store or from Fibra Natura.

Private Lessons
In-store and online private lessons are available! Please call us at 210-979-8255 to schedule a lesson! Wendy, Dawn, Moses, and Nancy M. are all available to help you with your projects! Private Lessons can be scheduled outside of regular hours at the discretion of the teacher.
The Tip Jar
Did you know that most knit and crocheted garments should be stored folded not hung up? Most of these will stretch out of shape if hung up for too long. We suggest folding in any sleeves or other protuberances, then folding them Marie Kondo style and stacking them vertically (sometimes called file-folding) in an acid-free box. The box can then be kept in a drawer if necessary, but it will keep any acids in the wood from damaging your handmade items. Especially great-grandma's handmade afghans.
All regular classes are currently on hold until we can safely seat up to 6 students in the classroom. We'll let y'all know when we can offer them again. Until then, we're offering most of our class material in private lessons.
