Proof of vaccination No Longer Required for in person classes & private lessons
For in person classes we are making a change & no longer requiring proof of vaccination status to participate in a class or private lesson.
For the safety of everyone we ask our customers/students, staff and teachers to stay home if sick.
Anyone who wishes is encouraged to wear a mask if that makes being in the shop more comfortable. For those not comfortable in a class/group setting private lessons are always available.

A note about Class, CLUB, CAL, & KAL materials. We require student to purchase their yarn for all classes, Crochet-alongs, Knit-alongs & Clubs at Longmont Yarn Shoppe. There are 2 main reasons for this:
- We recommend yarn we know you will have success with. Learning a new skill is much more rewarding using the proper tools and resources. When students use materials other than what is suggested we can't assure your success.
- Frankly, we exist only with your support. We need our community to shop with us so we can be here for the long haul. We bring in additional inventory to support classes, in anticipation of student purchases.

LADDERBACK JACQUARD via ZOOM! - May 25, 2024 10:00 am

Ladderback jacquard stranding, originally developed & used for machine knitting, is a version of double-knitting with only a one-stitch column. This technique can used in the round or flat!
