It's been a minute since we dropped some new classes, but our calendar is now full through the end of November! Swipe RIGHT to see all the great stuff you can do this fall, and book online at droppedstitch.com because instagram won't let me add links to a post unless I pay them $49.99 a month and it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens #sorryzuck by @droppedstitchchi

See you there!

Can our winder handle this???

If you watched our Wisconsin Sheep & Wool shopping video, you probably saw the enormous skein of yarn @cesca_is_making bought from @ewetopiayarn! This is 1 pound of yarn - 770 yards- of wool! Let’s see if we can wind it!

Send this to a knitter or crocheter to truly scare them. Spooky season is here and the holidays are just around the corner! We have yarn, pattern books, and gift cards in store! Or, just come hang out with us and procrastinate on your gifts. You totally have enough time.

Have you ever done a spit join, also known as a spit splice? It’s a seamless and magical way to join two yarns, because we know that nobody likes weaving in ends! But… Maybe it’s not the best way to join your yarn in public? You might get some weird looks.

Here’s a handy tutorial from Hannah using her new favorite Baa Ram Ewe Coast yarn.

This is our favorite funny video to make at events, so we had to make one for Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival! Now we know to be a little more realistic for next year. Do you usually stick to your budget for fiber arts events? It’s hard to resist all the gorgeous colors 🥲

Personally, I was so excited to see @ewetopiayarn and @fangirlfibers that my budget immediately went out the window! -Francesca

Special shoutout to Loren’s mom, Claire, for joining us on our field trip!
