Loop & Leaf News
Spring is here and we’ve got lots of new items in the shop to usher it in. New cottons for the warmer weather, silks in bright fun colors, and what better way to kick off spring, than with Trish from Tanglewood Fiber Creations! Trish will be here April 18th to talk about spinning and dying her gorgeous cashmere and cashmere blended yarns. This event is free and open to the public, and Trish will be bringing lots of amazing yarn with her!
Here in the shop, we’ve started Happy Hour every Friday night! Come sample yarns from each week’s theme – you might discover your new favorite yarn! Please remember to sign up by Wednesday each week to join us Friday evenings from 5-7.
