Hello Yarn Friends,
We’re jumping into spring with both feet here — ordering yarn, planning events and keeping plenty of projects on our needles.
Our social schedule is filling up with fun fiber happenings, and we hope you can join in on some or all.
The annual Maine Fiber Frolic is just around the corner. This 2-day event celebrating the joy of all things fiber will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 6 & 7, rain or shine, at the Windsor Fair Grounds. Get inspired by all of the fiber vendors, demonstrations and workshops, pick up a bargain at the used equipment sale, and sample the goodies from the food trucks. Bring a friend or the whole family.
You are invited to join us as we celebrate International Worldwide Knit (and Crochet!) in Public Day from 11-3 on Saturday, June 13. We’ll be gathering out on the front stoop with our latest works in progress to show off our fiber pride to the passing world.
Bring your chair, your lunch and your project and join the fun!
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll just move inside.
We’ll be hosting Wine & Twine at Bigelow Brewing again on Saturday, June 20 from 4-6 p.m. Join us outside (weather permitting, and if not, we’ll be inside) for a relaxing evening of sipping, noshing, chatting and maybe a little knitting or crocheting.
If you’re planning on pizza, the folks at Bigelow recommend you call in your order by 4 p.m. to avoid a wait. We hope to see you up there!
It will be here before you know it! The Maine Yarn Cruise begins again this year on July 1, and continues until October 12. (Their website is still being updated from 2025, so please stay tuned for more details). Sign up at your local yarn shop (pick me!) and “cruise” around our beautiful state while you sample some or all of the 20-something participating locally-owned yarn shops and fiber farms. There will be lots of prizes and giveaways again this year too!
You can already preorder your Maine Yarn Cruise canvas bag and passport by calling, emailing or stopping by Happyknits. We won’t be able to reorder more bags once our supply is gone, so let us know soon if you’d like us to reserve one for you.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sarah, MaryLou and Amanda
