Maine Yarn Cruise 2022

The Fifth Annual Maine Yarn Cruise begins July 1 and runs through October 10,2022. Travel across Maine and visit all 22 shops participating in this year’s cruise. We once again have a new dishcloth/afghan square available representing our Special State. The Flax Leaf Stiff Aster represented in this pattern is native to the Skowhegan area and is vital to many insect pollinators and other animals. You can read more about how Somerset Woods Trustees is working to rewild this Aster by restoring native habitat at Parsons Family Preserve.

Meanwhile, check out the Maine Yarn Cruise website and start planning your adventure!

Wild Aster

Our classes are offered based on interest, projects, and scheduling. We are an experienced group of knitters, and two of the four of us are also experienced crocheters. We offer private lessons, and the occasional instructional group class. Frequently you may see classes offered such as: beginner knitting or crocheting, socks, knitting in the round, double knitting, knitting in the round, lacework, colorwork, and many more. The class length and fees are determined according to the instructor’s design based on the project and what materials may or may not be included in the class fee. We ask for payment in advance to insure your reservation as class space is limited. We are always taking suggestions on class ideas or structure. Join our mailing list or “like” Happyknits on Facebook for more details on what we have to offer.
