May Classes and Knit-Alongs!

May classes are now available for registration on our website!
Learn to knit cables, use provisional cast-on and make socks from the toe-up!

We're bursting with free Knit-Alongs next month!

Sign up for any of them to get 15% off any yarn used in your project:

Oriental Lily Dress - A simple, cute cotton dress for babies and girls up to age 10. Free pattern!

Shetland Shopper Tote Bag - Just in time for the Farmer's Market! Continue the good work we've started during the Bagless Campaign and make this cotton shopping tote in the round, practicing your lace skills and using an applied I-cord. Free Pattern!

Traveling Woman Shawl - Use some of that gorgeous sock yarn you've been drooling over to make a quick wrap for chilly nights. Summer in Idaho doesn't guarantee warm evenings, you know... :) $6 pattern on Ravelry

Looking ahead to June, place your order by May 22nd for any color of yarn from Lanaknits Hemp for Knitting to make the Wakame Lace Tunic!

April is Earth Month!

To celebrate, we are participating with The Moscow Food Co-op, Buy Local Moscow, The University of Idaho Sustainability Center and others to promote a city-wide "Bagless Campaign"!

We ordered 100% cotton shopping bags and had them printed locally (upstairs at The Shirt Shack, actually) with our logo, and are selling them AT COST (that's right! No profit to us!) during the month of April. You can even purchase Yarn Underground Bags right here on our website!!

Every time you use one of our bags- or any bag- at our store, the co-op, The Storm Cellar consignment shop or Paradise Creek Bicycles, you receive a free raffle ticket for one of many awesome prizes. How easy is that??!

We also have new yarn on the way from Lanaknits Designs - 100% hemp, fingering weight, a hemp/cashmere blend in DK, and another DK in hemp/cotton/modal. Come see our boot at Moscow Hempfest on Saturday April 16th for the grand debut!
