Holiday Open House
Many of you remember the lovely hand dyed Yarn Hollow yarns, rovings and kits we used to sell at the shop City Knitting. Well, proprietress Rita has been continuing, and growing, and expanding her offerings since you saw her last. If you’d like a chance to catch up and see all the new goodies, you’ll want to stop in at her open house- “A Yarnie Winter Holiday”. Read on to find out what other shopping treats await you. If you are out on errands, plan to stop. You’ll be glad you did!
When: Saturday, December 4 ยท 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Yarn Hollow Studio, 3041 Broadway SW, Grandville, MI
From 196 take Chicago Drive east toward Grandville. Shortly on your left after a light or two you’ll see an Adobe restaurant. Turn left or north onto Broadway just past Adobe. Cross the tracks and turn left at 3041, a series of white buildings with big red door numbers. Hers is #41.
Here’s what you’ll find there, in Rita’s work space all decked out for the holidays.
Lynn DT Hershberger
Lynn will be selling polymer clay work, knitting patterns for her colorful knitted creations, as well as her new cookbook, which you can read about on her blog in the link above.
Kristin Hogeterp
Kristin’s Kraze
Kristin, who spends a lot of her time working at Redux books, also sews fabulous bags for knitting. You will want to see two of her latest designs- a zippered padded case for transporting your current hand spindling work in progress, as well as a nifty wrist bag perfectly sized to carry your iPod or iPhone along with a few necessities.
Barb Lambrecht
Finished felted items such as hats, nuno scarves, ornaments and purses- all ready for gifting! Dyed yarns commercial and hand spun, buttons, cool shawl pins made with sliced wool beads, and stained glass ornaments.
Rita Petteys
Hand dyed yarn, fiber for spinning and felting, silk for nuno felting, bamboo socks, wool socks, knit and crochet kits, new patterns, silk hankies and felting kits. (Comment from Lorilee- I really like the commercially knit bamboo and wool socks that Rita buys plain then dyes. My son and I each have bamboo pairs that get lots of use.)
Ruby Miller
Kaboom Room
Eclectic fiber arts accessories.
Lorilee Beltman
City Knitting
Get your hands on a “Know Your Cuts of Lamb” t-shirt ($15), or some patterns Lorilee has worked on since closing the shop. From her most popular Felted Loafer Slipper to the newest Strap Happy Slipper, you’ll find about ten patterns to choose from. Samples are displayed along with the pattern, many in Rita’s yarns, so you can put the two together and get crackin’ for the holidays.
Grab a few friends and pop in, or make it a special outing for just you.
