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. 


Private Lessons

Our private lessons are ideal if you prefer to work one-on-one, have a hectic schedule or need a refresher. If you have a specific project you'd like some extra help with, come see us.

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 ShoppeThere are 2 main reasons for this:

  1.   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.
  2.   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.

 

Hear what Anne had to say about her class

"Three friends and I arranged for our own personal felted clog class with Kris at 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!"

All - General Interest Topics


Mary Ann will be sharing the healing aspects of knitting and crocheting. The class will cover gentle hand and shoulder movements to relax the muscles we use most. We'll explore knitting and crocheting as a form of meditation incorporating the sounds of the Tibetan singing bowls. This is a three session series, with each session building upon the previous learning. Taking all three sessions is ideal, but not required to appreciate the benefits of meditation guided by Mary Ann.

Cost: $ 25.00

Understanding fibre content and how it behaves can make or break your result when creating a project, whether that project is knit, crocheted, or woven. In this class we will learn about many different fibre types including protein fibres and cellulose fibres. We will take a tour around the globe as we explore many types of wool, down fibres, silk, and cellulose fibres including linen, nettle, cotton, and man-made fibres like viscose. We will learn lots of fun fibre facts and how fibre types affect how a yarn is made, setting you up for success with your next yarn choice!

Cost: $ 45.00
In this class we will explore how yarns are made, while taking a deep dive into yarn structures. Yarn structure dictates how a yarn works up, as well as it's durability, drape, gauge, and character. A yarn's structure determines the most appropriate use for each yarn, whether that is colour work, cables, texture, lace and more: it is is a key element in many types of projects in knitting, crochet, weaving and more! Choosing the right structure of yarn for the project makes the difference between a successful project you can use for many years and a project that disappoints. Once you've completed this class, you'll be able to choose the right structure for each project!

Cost: $ 45.00
Colour is a subject that can be challenging to approach when faced with the vast selections of colours available to the modern stitcher. In this class we will examine the various styles of hand dyed yarn and how each dye style behaves when knit or crocheted. The next challenge is how to choose colours for a project and this class will give students the tools and know how to confidently choose and put colours together for the perfect project!
