Ewe & You's "Fiber"uary news and events


 
 
Happy "Fiber"uary!   
The good old groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter in his report yesterday and then overnight we got a bunch of snow here in CT. Even with that being the current case, we've already had some of the spring yarn arrive. There will be new yarn arriving all the time over the next few weeks so check in often. 
In the meantime, there is still plenty of sweater weather upon us and some fun activities scheduled such as a new KAL, some needle felting classes and a trunk show! 
Be sure to read on carefully...


Special Group Class with Terri Spins: Color Blending on Handcards

Have you ever wanted just a little bit of color for your spinning or knitting project? Have you ever wanted to spin your own gradient yarn? In this workshop, we will play with blending small amounts of fiber to create just the yarn that you want for your color work projects. We will work on blending colors to create gradient yarns. We will try our hand at blending different types of fibers together to create additional color effects. We will discuss ways to transfer this knowledge to blending larger amounts of fiber for larger projects.

Class is $50 and will be Saturday the 8th starting at 2pm. Please call the shop to sign up.  860-990-5230

An additional materials fee of $20 will be paid directly to Terri and it includes fiber and handouts. Instructor will have a limited number of handcards available for participants to use during the workshop.

 


February's KAL is the Glowhair Frost Scarflette by Stephen West
This is a fairly conservative size for Stephen West and only uses 1 skein of fingering held with 3 different colors of mohair. Pat has of course started her sample and it's looking gorgeous in a burgundy base mixed with shades of pink. The hardest part is dealing with the ends of the mohair when you cut them to change colors. We have tons of choices in the shop for this fun knit. Our KAL will start Feb 10th at 7pm via Zoom and will run for every following Monday evening including March 3rd. 
For those using stash yarn the KAL is $10 to join. 
The pattern can be purchased on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/glowhair-frost-scarflet
or in the store.

Events at Luppoleto Brewery

KNIT NIGHT and NEEDLE FELTING

Knit Night is open to everyone no matter what kind of maker you are!  Join us on February 13th, the 2nd Thursday of the month for great drinks, maybe your favorite food truck and of course fiber fun! It starts at 6:30 pm!!!!

This month's food truck for Knit Night is Fat City Kid! 

Our needle felting class will be on Saturday the 8th at 6:30 pm and we are making a needle-felted snowman. He is a cute loveable little guy with a sweet heart in his hands. He was originally debuted in 2023, but there were several requests to make him again and I couldn't resist! This class includes a hot coca bomb to take home as well as all the supplies for your snowman, and a great beverage! Sign up at https://luppoleto.square.site/product/needle-felting-class-with-ewe-you-fiber-arts/348

The food truck that evening is Cluck Cluck Moo. 


Valentine's Day Needle Felting at Great Awakening Brewery

On February 14th I will be teaching needle felting at Great Awakening Brewery in Westfield MA at 6:30 pm. We will be making hearts on a string! This would be a great opportunity to bring someone you love along for a fun and creative night out. This is the simplest project and yet one where you can be the most creative. What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with fiber and a beverage or two?

The Sunday we are open in February is the 23rd from 11 am to 4 pm. 

Hope to see you then! 

Circulo Trunk Show

Along with New Yarn from Circulo coming in, we are also hosting a trunk show featuring some of their yarns! This is expected in the shop around the 21st and will continue into March. This trunk show will feature garments and accessories in their choice of yarns. It will be a great time to come and get inspiration for your next project and maybe even get to see stuff I do not regularly carry in stock. 

We still offer Virtual Classes with Pam Grushkin! Pam is a great teacher and her virtual classes offer you the opportunity to try something new.

Pam's listing of online classes changes regularly so check back often to see what is offered. When signing up for a class be sure to use our store code to get 10% off. Plus when you take her classes all the supplies you need for it will be 10% off in the store. Class Code- EweAndYouFiber-CT-10
