Where can you find a list of our current classes?
We post our current class offerings in our weekly newsletter which we send out every Tuesday morning. All classes with available openings will be listed along with a general description and a link to additional information (if applicable). Once classes are filled, we will take them out of the newsletter, so be sure to write down dates and times. Sign up for our weekly newsletter on our site; scroll to the bottom of our home page and click subscribe.
Our class offerings include a range of knit, crochet, techniques, skill workshops and Knit Fix/Stich Fix sessions at all skill levels. We can also make arrangements for private lessons. Please contact us for further details.
To register for a class:
You are welcome to register in person, or call us at 952-303-3895 to register by phone. Payment for class is required at the time of registration, as this reserves your spot in class. You can sign up for classes now online here! Or fill out our RSVP and pay the next time you’re in store, but Register Here!
Class materials:
Yarn for class must be purchased from needle & skein. We offer students a 10% discount on all yarn purchased for class plus a free Knit Fix. Please check the class description for a complete list of required materials and for homework (if applicable) to be completed prior to class.
Class Etiquette: Please give yourself plenty of time to acquire your materials prior to your class and have yarn wound before class is scheduled to begin. Classes begin promptly at their scheduled time and some of our classes may start when the store opens, or end when the store closes. We want everyone to get the most out of our classes, so please be aware that if you are running behind, it is unlikely we will be able to get you caught up while still giving everyone else in your class the attention they deserve. All students must be 18 years of age to attend class, unless prior arrangements have been made for special circumstances.
Cancellations:
Class participation must be canceled no less than two weeks prior to class in order to receive a class credit. If you do need to cancel, please email gilah@needleandskein.com or call us at 952-303-3895. If you do need to cancel before the start of class, consider gifting your class to a fellow stitcher. Just keep us informed so that we know who to expect for class.
Missed Classes:
Sorry, we do not offer make-up sessions for missed class. If you would like to make up for class that you will miss, we offer private lessons at $25/hour for a one on one.
Guest Artist Workshops: We do not offer class credits for classes with special guest instructors and artists. You may transfer your seat to a friend if you are unable to attend yourself.
Class cancellations/shop closing due to weather/phenomena beyond the control of needle & skein: If this closing will affect a class or workshop, we will contact anyone who has registered once we determine the class will be cancelled.
For instances of class postponement, we will endeavor to reschedule class as soon as it is possible. If you cannot wait for class to be rescheduled/have a reschedule conflict; we will issue a class credit.
Age: To ensure an optimal class experience for all students, we request that students enrolled in our classes be 18 years of age or older. For parents and children wishing to learn together, we recommend private group lessons.
Skill Levels:
We teach classes for a wide range of abilities. Therefore, we will generally list the skills required for successful completion of each class, and teachers will assume that participants entering the class will be familiar with those techniques. If you have any questions, please contact us before registering for a class.
Don’t see a Class listed that you or a group would like to take? Private and Group lessons are available; please contact us to discuss the options. We welcome class ideas.
