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.

FIBER FRIDAY Sweater Seaming with Ann Budd VIA ZOOM! - Jun 23, 2023 04:00 pm
Because they don't like sewing seams, many knitters only knit seamless sweaters. What many don't realize is that seams can be a sweater's best friend. They provide stability against stretching (especially across the shoulders and back neck) and they help encourage the body to hang straight. In this one-hour online class, I'll demonstrate the three basic seams used for joining sweater pieces?Invisible Horizontal Seam (for shoulders), Invisible Vertical Seam (for side and sleeve seams), and Vertical to Horizontal Seam (for sleeve caps).

Hitofude Cardigan with Christianna (in person) - Aug 17, 2023 06:00 pm
As implied by the name "Hitofude" - meaning a brush stroke in Japanese, this open front cardigan with an all over lace pattern is worked in one "yarn stroke" - a continuous strand without cutting the yarn. The yarn stroke starts for the upper body and sleeves, worked together in a rectangular piece, then moves to the lower body where the lace pattern increases evenly, creating a gentle drape. During this KAL we will use provisional cast on, work lace patterns and do a 3 needle bind off - all the while having a lot of fun!
