Silk Blend


New Colors of Silk Blend....
There is nothing more beautiful than a big box of newly hand dyed yarn. That is what greeted me this morning compliments of the UPS man who I now see more than most members of my family!
Our Welted Mitts class requires only one skein of Manos Silk Blend so it's the perfect way to try out any one of these stunning colorways.

Welted Fingerless Mitts            2 sessions             $30.00
Instructor- Jenna Lewis
February 23 and March 1 | 7:00 pm-8:00 pm
Maximum 10 students
Make a pair of welted fingerless gloves with button trim. Gloves can be seen in the shop or on Ravelry. Look for Welted Fingerless Gloves. Bring double points in sizes 5 and 6.
Prerequisite: You must know how to cast on, knit and purl.
Class Fee Material fee: $32.00 for yarn, needles and pattern (will be less if you already have US size 5 and 6 double pointed needles)

More about Manos del Uruguay from their website:
"With each purchased skein of Manos del Uruguay yarn you will be helping a woman to support her family. Each skein is signed, so you will know who made your yarn, and from which village it came.You will be supporting the hand-crafted rather than mass-produced, and contributing to an economy where the workers control of the means of production. You, as a handknitter, crocheter or weaver, will be contributing to women’s careers in harmony with family life, and contributing to the landscape, and cultural heritage of Uruguay.:"

Our New Class List!


Woolplay is excited to introduce:
Building Blocks
A class based on the new book by Michelle Hunter (KnitPurlHunter.com)
The emphasis of this class is education.  Students are guided through the various stitches and techniques each month as their knitting knowledge is increased.  With a different skill focus each month there is something new to learn at each class.  Topics such as gauge, cast ons, bind offs, cables, increases, decreases, lace, pattern reading and more are covered.

Work through the major knitting skills while creating 12 lovely squares.
Master each technique before moving to a more advanced concept in a carefully designed sequence.
All techniques are supported with FREE online video instruction for help outside of the class
Gain an abundance of knitting know-how along with 12 blocks to assemble into a sampler afghan.

This is a year long commitment, but classes are just once a month for one hour.

New Year New Woolplay

To All My Loyal Customers,

After over 7 years in business I am so excited to announce that Woolplay has a new owner! Many of you already know Danique Martin. She has been an invaluable help in every aspect of the shop and brings a new and fresh perspective to Woolplay. I will help Danique during this transition and hope that you will encourage and support her as she takes the shop to a new level.

I will continue to be present in the knitting world both designing and attending shows throughout the year. I have published several of my patterns on Ravelry under Woolwear Designs and will continue to develop new ones.

Thank you for your continued loyalty to Woolplay. Your support has helped us succeed during these difficult economic times. Please stay in touch with me at woolweardesigns@gmail.com.

Happy Knitting!
Nadine
