Portland's Oldest Yarn Shop
Crank It Up!
If you've got a hankering for handmade socks but want to speed up the knitting time, let us introduce you to the wonderful world of sock machines! Friend-of-the-Shop Judy owns several marvelous machines that can knit a skein of sock yarn into a fabric tube in mere minutes. From there, you just need to hand-knit an afterthought cuff, heel, and toe, and your socks are finished!
Join us on Saturday, November 16 for our third annual Crank It Up event! If you pick up a skein of sock yarn from the shop on the day of the event, we will crank it into a tube for you and provide printed instructions for finishing your socks. We'll be happy to answer questions and demonstrate the required techniques, as well!
