Monday Night Knitting with Martha Owen - Complimentary
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The evening session is a bit more, let's say, "chatty” You will see all types of projects in any given evening, some quite simple and some quite advanced in design. For all levels. We have about 12 chairs at Yarn Circle, so you may want to bring one along if you have something portable. It's a complimentary knit circle when the store is open late.

Pam’s Teaching Schedule at the John C. Campbell Folk School
November 14 - 19 ~ Lumpy, Bumpy Scarves and Shawls with Pam Howard. Finally this is now longer that a weekend class, with plenty of time to learn and explore the art of Lumpy Bumpy.
January 23 - 30 ~ Crimp, Color, and Create with Pam Howard and Dianne Totten. The week and weekend class will combine weaving, dyeing and a variety of different techniques to create a unique cloth. Pam and Dianne have teamed up to teach this intermediate to advanced class. Give Pam a call at Yarn Circle if you have questions.
Martha’s Teaching Schedule at the John C. Campbell Folk School
September 5 - 10 ~ Some of My Favorite Wools Are Scottish with Martha Owen
Sheep (and wool) are integral to traditional Scottish life - in diet and wardrobe, and grazing on each hill. Take a woolly tour with an instructor who has traveled to the highlands and islands to look at sheep! Make your own yarn and add visual interest, softness, color, and texture to your own fiber creations. Discover the age-old skill of combing, carding, natural dyeing, and spinning in this "yarn-intensive" week for beginning to intermediate students.
December 5 - 10 ~ Danish Grandmother Socks and More with Martha Owen
Knitters are always seeking small projects that are highly portable and quickly done for immediate gratification, to give as gifts, or for waiting rooms or short stolen moments while the baby naps. Keep knitting by designing socks, hats, mittens, and more. Offered for all skill levels, but those who can knit and purl will get the most from this class.
