This is my first ever Yarn Tasting Event and I am very excited!!!  Save the date and come in for a nice afternoon of yarn tasting, wine (or sparkling grape), and light appetizers.  I will keep our doors open after 4:00 pm, so we can explore these yarns in a casual environment.  We will have yarn reserve sheets ready for you, so the second the Fall yarn hits the door it will be waiting for you to pick up.  The yarn sampling is the new Fall yarns from Berroco!  They sent me several sample yarns to try out along with a copy of each pattern booklet, so you can see what garment you would like to knit this Fall.  This afternoon is all about you!  Come in and select which yarn you would like to work with this Fall; we will be sure to reserve it for you when it arrives.
