Just bring yourselves and join us in celebrating 4 WONDERFUL years!

On July 13th from 12-5pm Mary from Butterfly Girl Designs is offering Build A Batt. This is a great opportunity for spinners to come blend up custom colorways and for knitters to learn more about what goes into your yarn! There is no charge to attend, any batt you create is sold by the ounce.

Spinning Silk Hankies
Sunday July 20th 2-4pm

This class will teach you to create lovely silk yarns from hand dyed silk hankies. You can use either a drop spindle or a wheel but you should already know spinning basics to take this class.

Introduction to Lace Knitting (with charts)
This is a repeat of our sold out class from earlier this year. In this class we will be working on basic lace knitting techniques, starting with the written word and covering how to both make the stitches and back them out. As we become familiar with the knitting we will progress into making the same stitches from charts. – Only 2 spots remain open in this class!
Sunday (oops!) July 27th, 1-4pm
Cost: $35, includes three patterns.
Instructor: Alissa

Did you know that you can request any class? You don’t have to wait for us to schedule it! Just give us a call and talk to Alissa, together we will pick dates and times that work for you and then we will invite others to join in the fun.

Your payment secures your spot in any class. Class fees are not refundable less than one week from the start of the class. You can come into the shop to sign up or call the shop at (214)412-2889 during regular business hours, or leave us a message and we will call you back when we are open.

June is almost upon us and it is time to let you know what kind of fun things you have to look forward to at Knitting Fairy!
June 1st (This Sunday!) we will have Misty here doing chair massage. Massages are just $1/minute. You can sign up in advance or come by on Sunday and get your name on the list.
June 5th is our monthly Spin-in. Grab your fluff, your wheel or your spindle and come join us for a lovely evening of fibery goodness. No charge, just fun!
June 7 and 21 we will have our latest class offering:
Short Row Study: Join us for an exploration of at least 6 ways to work short rows. Short rows are a great way to add shaping into your garment without adding length to the whole thing, think for gracefully shaped shawls, added length to cover problem areas in sweaters, turning heels and so much more! We won’t be making a particular project, just some samples for your reference later. 1-3pm, $45
June 15th is Father’s Day and we will be open regular hours. Come get some yarn to knit for Dear old Dad!
June 22nd Mary of Butterfly Girl Designs will be offering her VaVaVoom class. Mary will be showing you several wonderful ways to add bling and pizzazz to your spinning! You must have or rent a spinning wheel for this class. 1-3pm, $38 (includes add-in kit, you will need your own fiber)

And, since July happens right on the heels of June I will go ahead and let you know that Knitting Fairy will be closed on July 4th. We will be open regular business hours the rest of the week.

Thank you for your business, we love our customers at Knitting Fairy!
