Let’s Get Back to Basics – Understanding yarn weights, gauge, & finding sub yarns for your pattern

You’ve got the perfect pattern, but the yarn it requires is discontinued and you don’t know where to start. Yarnista & Owner Susan Dickerson will lead this 1-session class about yarn weights, how to find a yarn to substitute in your pattern that will work and then how to measure that gauge to ensure the pattern will turn out correctly. This class will be held:
• 1 to 3 pm Saturday, Oct. 7
• 1 to 3 pm Tuesday, Oct. 24
• 1 to 3 pm Friday, Nov. 10.
Susan will take you on a tour of The Flying Needles, introduce you to yarn weights and walk you through the process of how we help customers find the perfect yarn for their very specific pattern.

Each class is limited to 8 people. Register for this class by stopping by or calling us at (757) 345-3655. Any level can participate, and no skills are required.
