| SPECIAL EVENTS | ArtFelt by Skacel
Yarn Lady is proud to present a FREE workshop to allow YOU to experience "ArtFelt" by Skacel.
Karin Skacel herself will be at our store from 11am - 2pm with all of her supplies to show you how you can make some wonderful pieces of art using wool roving, a felting needle and your talent! No need to sign up,
just SHOW up and bring a couple of friends. It's so easy, anyone can do it! We saw the demonstration at STITCHES Midwest and Karin allowed me to take these pictures so you would better understand what she will be doing. This is a one-time event so don't miss out. Materials for the demonstration are supplied and
you will be able to purchase extra roving for use later. I know you will love it so much that you will want to have the materials on hand to make all sorts of things- from pillows to scarves to pictures to purses.
I wish you could have seen how popular Skacel's booth was, filled with ladies eager to learn this wonderful technique.What is new under the sun? To view samples, click here.
Elvis is coming to town!
Yarn Tasting by Skacel
Since so many people have asked who is Elvis
and what is this event all about, we thought we should give you a little insight
as to why we are doing this special event. Over a year ago, both Niqua and Cherie
ran into Elvis at a TNNA event. They thought it would be fun to have Elvis come
to the store. After numerous attempts to schedule him, Elvis finally had time
in his schedule to come out for a visit. Since Elvis works at Skacel, we thought
it would best be fitting to do a Skacel Yarn Tasting. Furthermore, since most
of the yarns that we carry from Skacel are for socks, we decided to make it a
Sock Yarn Tasting. There will be more yarns to try that are not just for socks,
so please remember to bring a range of needles to knit or crochet with. This is
going to be a fun event that you won't want to miss out on. In fact, we are attempting
to make this one of the biggest events ever held here at our store by offering
this event FREE of charge. Make sure you sign up for this once
in a lifetime event. |

Circles Around Socks by Antje Gillingham $24.95
"Why
knit one sock and then start all over again to make a match? Instead, knit two
socks at the same time on two circular needles! With this creative approach, you
can slip a sock on each foot as soon as you bind off."
Two
Balls or Less by Jenny Hill $19.99
"Readers
will discover how a little yarn can go a long, long way with 20 irresistible quick-to-stitch
knitting and crochet projects, each requiring only two balls of yarn, or less,
to complete. Say good-bye to old wool and humdrum cotton and hello to fun fleeces
and fur, funky twists of ribbon, luxurious lurex and beautiful bouclé.
As the projects in this book only need two balls, readers can afford to experiment!
Experienced knitters can extend their skills by experimenting with crochet, whilst
beginners will love the quick-to-stitch designs. Features helpful tips and techniques
to help readers get the best from this exciting new generation of yarns."
