Flaming June Cardigan
During the month of May, we will offer a free Knit-A-Long (KAL) for the Flaming June Cardigan by Cheryl Niamath. Click here for a free pattern download from Knitty.com.
Several folks have already started their Flaming June’s using Rowan-Pure Life Revive, Louet-Euroflax, and Moda-Seta Tweed.
We will be working on our KAL Wednesday mornings from 10:00-12:00p. Come join the fun.
Vickie’s love of fibers, wool and folk art is apparent in each of the 60+ patterns she has designed for her company Annie’s Keepsakes, which celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2010!
Vickie’s unique projects have appeared in magazines across the nation and abroad, and she brings her easy-going style and award-winning expertise to each of her lectures, classes and workshops.

Join us and Nuno-felt a scarf of hand-dyed silk chiffon, coordinating wool fibers and novelty fibers for a unique wearable work of art that’s light as a feather! This is a wet-felting technique that’s fun and a bit messy. Kit required, there are an array of beautiful colors: rose, turquoise, green, purple & more. This will be a full day workshops.
Cost of workshop: $75.00 to be paid directly to instructor.
Here are a few pictures from a previous Nuno Felted Scarf workshop of Vickie’s.

Several of us at The Fibre Studio are knitting the Vodka Lemonade out of Rowan, Pure Life Revive. Other great DK weight yarn selections would be:
