Our July and August 2010 Classes:

Katonah Yarn Company has a warm and inspirational environment where you can shop, take classes and knit. We offer helpful advice on all of your knitting projects.

Class prices do not include materials.

We ask that you pre-pay to reserve your place in class. You may register at the store or by phone using a credit card. Our phone number is: 914-977-3145. At this time, we cannot accept registration via email. Class fees are only refundable up to one week before the class start date.

If fewer than four students enroll for a class, we will need to cancel the class. If Katonah Yarn Company cancels a class for any reason we will refund payment in full.

At this time, there are no make-ups for missed classes.

Holiday Gift Club

Katonah Yarn Holiday Gift Club has begun! We invite you to join this creative and productive knitting experience. With membership to this club, you will receive one project per month. The club begins in July and by the time it ends in December, you will have 6 different gifts ready for Holiday giving.

Each project comes complete with yarn and pattern. The patterns have been carefully selected with both the beginner and intermediate knitter in mind, offering a variety of techniques using a variety of yarns.

Have you every wanted to knit using silk but just didn't know what to make? Our first project lets Debbie Bliss' silk glide through your figures during the hot, humid July weather, to create a supple lace cap. Click Here for descriptions of the rest of the projects.

The Lace Workshop will feature your choice of projects: Isbell (check spelling) from Ysolda Teague or the "Traveling Woman" Shawl. Both projects feature stockinette stitch for the body of the shawl and simple lace patterns for a dramatic finish. The Ishbell works up beautifully using one skein of Abstract Sock Yarn.
