Classes & Knit-Alongs

From beginning knitting & crochet to special techniques, we offer classes & make-alongs for every level

Unwind…

Whether you are new to the craft or just rusty after many years hiatus, these one-on-one sessions held at the shop are designed for beginners to get the most efficient use of their time. We have two teachers available to get you started on the basics and a first project.

Purchasing your supplies for these lessons at Needle & Skein is required.

Welcome to the After Hours Sweater Club!

HI! We are Kendra & Paul and are beyond jazzed to have you.

What?

After Hours Sweater Club is exactly what it sounds like! We meet after store hours, and we make the viral sweaters we are all tempted by on TikTok and Ravelry. The Club is a combination of things: education, community, and fun. Each weekly Club Meeting is detailed by techniques we will teach and aspirational expectations for the work to be completed for next Club Meeting. However, community and fun are just as important. Think of it like a really cool After School Club for adult humans who share a love of making beautiful, sustainable garments. We will spend 6 weeks on each sweater with a 7th bonus week- our (U)FO Gathering – Share your (Un)Finished Objects and have a cute time celebrating our progress together!

Who?

Anyone who can knit! Each After Hours Sweater Club project will have a difficulty rating and list of used skills. If you are feeling like a challenge, the Club Meeting Schedule details out each week by techniques we will teach you. Still not sure? Ask a team member! We are happy to consult you to make sure you have a successful time in the Club.

When?

After Hours Sweater Club will be weekly on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:30ish. Dates differ per session. Drop in rates available!

Where?

Needle & Skein, of course!

How?

Sign up online or talk to a team member! After Hours Sweater Club has 3 pricing tiers, Student, Standard, and VIP. For more details, see our available Club sessions HERE!

Stitch-A-Long Wednesdays

Gilah is in the shop on Wednesday nights leading a stitch-a-long. Every month, she’ll start a new project for knitting and crochet and give you tips for success. Come join Gilah for a mid-week mini retreat!

These free sessions are not classes, but a time to be with other knitters in a comfortable environment. With this in mind, we ask that you review the necessary skills for each project prior to attending these fun and free events.

Wednesdays: from 4:00 to Close
Free when you purchase your supplies from Needle & Skein.
