George Carlin

2008-06-23T10:48:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite comedians died Sunday of a heart attack at age 71. If you have ever enjoyed or agreed with George Carlin's comedy, you will know we lost a great one. Sarcastic NY humor will never be the same.

Services

Our store has many goals, but all of them are to help You. We offer many services to help you make your dreams come to life. The phrase Sheep to Shawl is a good description of what we can do for you. Need a fleece processed? Have some fiber to be spun? Want your yarn a different color? Did that pattern just call your name or perhaps you need that finishing done? Maybe you want to learn to do it yourself? We can help you!

Stitch Markers

2006-04-11T10:36:00.000-07:00

Our stitch markers are made from many different beads, glass, wood, pearl or metal, and can come with or without charms. They come in gold or silver metals, and can be used with any size needle. That's because each marker uses a split ring to change the sizes! As easy as taking your keys from your key ring.
