Your Class, Your Way
We love to teach at LYS, and we hope we've created the perfect list of class choices for you. But, we know how busy life can be. That’s why we offer "Your Class, Your Way" at Longmont Yarn Shoppe.Maybe you see the perfect class, but it’s not offered at the right time for you. Or there's a project you’ve always wanted to make, but the class was offered last month and you missed it! Relax.
Gather three friends, speak with a member of our staff, and we’ll work to arrange for a qualified instructor to teach your perfect class, your way!

A note about Class, CLUB, CAL, & KAL materials. We ask that students purchase their yarn for the class or CAL/KAL, Club at LYS for the programs we offer.
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.

Spinning Classes
- Oct 01, 2020 04:00 pm
Put your hands on a spindle and feel the fiber being turned into yarn. This class will begin with a discussion on fiber and a basic lesson on using a spindle. You will take the spindle and some fiber home to practice. In the 2nd lesson we will check in on our techniques and evaluate our yarn. This lesson will include instruction on plying on a spindle. You will have another week to practice and then you will try out a spinning wheel. Look at all the wonderful yarn we have spun!
Cost: $ 50.00
Calendar
Join us as we welcome our favorite knitwear designer, Isabell Kraemer, to Longmont Yarn Shoppe via Zoom for a classroom experience in knitting a contiguous set in sleeve sweater! Isabell will talk about contiguous sleeve sweater construction in general, talk about possible yarn choices and then dive into the construction a bit deeper, to find the spots where adjustments could be made. Students would then be able to choose their yarn and get started (swatching), spotting the parts where they may have to adjust the pattern and such until we 'meet' the next time.
Come learn all about Punch Needle Rug Hooking while making a mug rug for your favorite mug! This is an in person class with social distancing practiced.
In this 2 part class students will get a refresher on threading the rigid heddle loom as well as learn how to create patterns using a pick up stick! During this class students will create a cotton table runner. The table runner will incorporate pick up stick patterning as well as instructions on how to hem stitch project edges on the loom.
