cozy place
 

The Village Yarn & Tea Shop is located on the ground floor of the new 25th Place Condominiums on the border of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline, WA. We carry a wide range of fine quality yarn, tea, and accessories from around the world. We hope you'll have a chance to visit us soon!


January Knit Along

Even though we start in January, we are knitting the February Lady sweater as a group! If you haven't seen this free pattern, we have a sample in the shop to inspire you. Victoria knitted her's out of O-Wool but you can use any worsted weight yarn that knits to a gauge of 4.5 stitches per inch. Come in between 3 and 4 pm on Sunday, January 4th and cast on with us!

Level: Rooibos
Instructor: Ruth Sorensen
Cost: $115 each (lunch included)

Ruth Sorensen is well known for her work with Kauni and Evilla yarns of Estonia. She will be visiting us here in the US again and we couldn't be happier! She will be offering two different workshops:

Knitted Shawl: "Using yarn that changes color can add such dimension to a lace shawl."

Stranded Bags and Wristlets: "I want the students to work with the creative process and not just copy what I have made."

These are popular classes so sign up soon!

 


Food Drive

This year, many families in our area will be struggling to make ends meet and will have to take advantage of our local food banks. To help out, we will be collecting non-perishable food items from now until ...whenever!

The food drive has been such a success but we need to keep it going. After the holidays, food donation tend to drop considerably for many of the food banks. We'll do our part by continuing to collect food.

Upcoming Events


We have some wonderful classes coming up. Beginning classes fill up especially fast so be sure to call and reserve your spot today!
