We love to teach at LYS, and we hope we've created the perfect list of choices for you, but we know how busy life can be......so, we offer "your class, your way!" at Longmont Yarn Shoppe. What does that mean?
Well, you see the perfect class, but it's not at the right time! You see the project you've always wanted to make, but we offered that class LAST MONTH and you missed it! Have no fear!

Hear what Anne had to say about her perfect class: "Three friends and I arranged for our own personal felted clog class with Kris at the Longmont Yarn Shoppe. It was great for many reasons! First, we were able to get so much personal attention. Kris is a knowledgeable, patient and fun teacher. We are all very pleased with our clogs and will certainly be scheduling another class- I think socks are next!!"
