A New Year at the Shop — Updated Hours & A Few Helpful Notes
As we step into a new year, I wanted to take a moment to share a few updates and reminders about the shop. Some of these may be familiar, but I wanted to be sure everyone has the same information as we move forward together.
Updated Shop Hours
If you haven’t heard about our new hours for the year, here’s a
quick overview:
Wednesday: 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM
• Knit Night runs from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
• Please note we are now closing at 7:00 PM (not 7:30 PM anymore)
Thursday & Friday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
With these updated hours, I’d like to kindly ask everyone to be mindful of closing times. Our staff often has other commitments and families waiting at home, and being able to wrap up and leave on time truly means a lot. We so appreciate your understanding and consideration.
Yarn Winding
We’re happy to offer complimentary winding for North Bay Fiber yarns purchased in the shop. For yarn brought in from outside of the shop, winding is available for $4 per skein. Because winding can be time-consuming, our winding station will close 30 minutes before the shop closes. If you’d like yarn wound, please bring it to the winding station before that time. If you miss it, you’re always welcome to have it wound on a future visit.
Knit Night Notes
Knit Night continues to be held Wednesdays from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM, and we’re grateful to still be able to offer it at no charge.
Moving forward, we will no longer be providing drinks and snacks, simply because we’re no longer able to accommodate everyone comfortably. We encourage you to bring your own drink and if you'd like to bring a snack to share, please feel free — just be mindful of potential allergies.
Help With Projects
Our shop staff is always happy to help with quick fixes on your projects when we’re able. If what you need goes beyond a 5–15 minute fix, we’ll let you know at that time that it requires paid instruction. Depending on availability, we may either assist you then or recommend scheduling a one-on-one session with one of our instructors — Jeanie, Nancy, or Jill.
One-on-one instruction is available for $15 per 30 minutes and is a great way to get focused, unrushed guidance tailored to your project.
To book an appointment, simply ask us in the shop or reach out by phone or email:

Jill
