​​The Artful Yarn is a fun, boutique yarn shop, a friendly retreat for local and visiting fiber friends! We love meeting fun knitters and crocheters from all walks of life, all skill levels and all connected by a love of fibering - whether it's online classes, new projects, new skills or a special event. We especially welcome the beginner and the not-so-confidant.  Our intentionally-curated yarn and gift collection features companies owned by women or families, many of them from the United States. We support fair-wage companies and those that foster ethical treatment of animals and responsible disposal of dye. Even our gift bags are made from recycled paper, not plastic.

What The Swatch?!
A Fun Online Class

Why do we have to knit a swatch or a fabric sample before we begin a project?!

After all, we just want to start! This session answers that age-old question and more. This is a great class for beginners
and those more experienced!

How do we measure our gauge? In stockinette? In garter stitch? What if the pattern doesn't tell us how to knit our gauge swatch? What if we can't get the gauge called for in the pattern?

What if we want to knit
our project ​in worsted weight, but the pattern calls for fingering?
​How do we adjust our pattern then?

Zoom link will be emailed to all participants 1-2 days prior to class.

TEA TIME MERRYMAKING

Ready Set Raglan
from PomPom Publishing

This follow-up to Knit How
takes the straightforward raglan-sleeve pullover as a blank canvas
and walks you through all the ways
to make it your own.

This book offer blueprints for 8 distinct raglans and coaches you through choosing perfect-for-you necklines, hemlines, ribbing, stitch textures, and fancy raglan increases. And, of course, they show you how to create jaw-dropping color combinations. 

These raglans are designed
to empower improving knitters
with customization skills,
but also to free advanced knitters
to fly through stressless shapes,
easy customizations, and the
​joys of color-play.

For the truly adventurous,
they even provide a formula to design your own raglan!

YOU'RE SO READY
