May 29, 2008 Summer FunWe’ve been busy cooking up some fun events for the Summer here at Yarn Expressions. First up is the dye workshop everyone’s been waiting for. You’ll learn all about the art of hand painting yarn, from mixing the dyes (we’re using food safe Culinary Colors dyes from K1C2) to setting the colors in the microwave. The class fee includes use of our dye materials and two skeins of sock yarn. Be sure to get the materials list when you register. When? Sunday June 22, 2008 1:00 - 4:00 pm I’m really excited about this next event. Amy S., one of the co-owners of the Crochetville message board has helped me cook up a swatch party for crocheters. She’s busy working on swatches of yarn from Yarn Expressions, and I’ll be busy at market finding new and interesting designs focusing on crochet. We’ll have goody bags of small skeins for your own sampling, all aimed at encouraging crocheters to give new fibers a try. When? Sunday July 13, 2008 1:00 - 4:00 pm The following Sunday we’re having a Parking Lot Swap Meet, to give you a chance to swap or sell your unwanted yarn, needles, roving, needlecraft items. Bring your own table (and chair if you like) and set up shop in our parking lot, along with all the other yarn mavens in town who are trying to weed out their stash. Who knows what you’ll find — one woman’s trash is another’s treasure! We’re charging a small entry fee which will all be donated to a local charity at the end of the day. All yarn sales and swaps at this event are private transactions and WILL NOT involve Yarn Expressions. The store will be open during these hours. When? Sunday July 20, 2008 1:00 - 4:00 pm Sign up sheets are ready at the store. You may register in person or by phone with a credit card. As with all of our classes, space is limited and we’re not able to hold spots without the registration fee. Hope we see you at one of these Summer fun events!

Meg,
Now that summer is unoffically here, are you going to hold any “sit and knit” Sunday’s like last year?
The dye workshop was fantasic. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon - forget your cares and worries and play with colors. It was a great group of ladies. It was fun to play with colors and express yourself. How great to say “I made hand dyed yarn”. I can’t wait to start a pair of socks with the yarn I dyed. Thank you, Meg, for a fantastic afternoon. Can’t wait for another session.
