How it Works
"The class worked really well over Zoom. Stephanie did a great job of demonstrating the techniques needed, and had two cameras going so we could see her face and her hands while she was teaching. It was nice to interact with the other class members, too." - Cheryl A.
About Online Classes with Longmont Yarn Shoppe
We have identified a number of classes that lend themselves to being offered in a virtual classroom via Zoom.
Our teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced in the topic they are teaching, and will be using 2 cameras so you can not only see and hear them, they can also demonstrate what they are teaching as well. Supplies must be shipped in advance of the class so please plan accordingly. Check out our handy tip sheet for using Zoom.
We recommend all students use a device larger than a phone to be able to see what is being taught.
We stand behind our programs. If you try online learning and decide it isn’t a fit, we will refund 100% of your class fee, or it can be transferred to an in-store class once we are open to the public again.
We do ask that you use yarn and products from LYS for our Knit/Crochet-A-Longs and our classes.
There are 2 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.
