Are you ready for an exciting knitting adventure? Creative Yarns is thrilled to announce our Mysterious Blanket Knitting Masterclass, a unique series where we’ll knit a stunning blanket one square at a time!

This monthly series is perfect for knitters who love surprises—each month’s square pattern will be revealed only at the class, making every session a fun mystery. By the end of the series, you’ll have all the pieces to assemble a cozy, handmade blanket.

This project is part of a special initiative created by Berroco! They have designed the entire blanket as a mystery knit-along, providing exclusive patterns that will be revealed monthly.

• First Session: Saturday, January 25th at 4 PM – 5 PM

• Location: Creative Yarns

• Price: $10 per session

• Skills Required: Basic knowledge of casting on, knitting, purling, and casting off. All other techniques will be taught during the class.

Vintage by Berroco is a high-quality, versatile yarn that’s perfect for projects like this. With its soft texture and range of gorgeous colors, it ensures your finished blanket will be both beautiful and durable. We’re thrilled to work with Berroco to bring this creative experience to our community.

It’s December, and at Creative Yarns, that means it’s time for one of our favorite traditions: the Mini-Sock Advent Calendar and Giveaway!

The Advent calendar is a special part of our holiday season. It features 24 handknitted mini-socks, each one numbered and filled with a delicious Lindor chocolate. Starting December 1st, the first customer of the day will receive that day’s mini-sock as a gift!

This year, the Advent calendar is even more delightful. Each mini-sock has been lovingly knitted with a unique stranded design, making every day’s gift a little work of art.

And there’s more holiday cheer to share! Starting December 1st, we’ll also be giving away extra mini-socks—one per customer, on request, while supplies last. We only have 100 extra mini-socks available, so be sure to visit early to snag one!

Stop by Creative Yarns to shop for your holiday projects and enjoy the warmth of the season with a handmade mini-sock.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Creative Yarns!

As the crisp autumn air sets in, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with some knitting and crocheting projects! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, fall is the ideal season to gather your needles and hooks and create something warm and beautiful. At Creative Yarns, we’re here to inspire your next project with our carefully curated selection of high-quality yarns, including exciting new arrivals!

Introducing Amano Riti from Berroco – A Wooly Wonder

One of our newest yarns, Amano Riti, is a true gem for fall and winter projects. Spun from soft and warm 100% Merino wool, Riti features a pleasing twist that makes it light and lofty in hand. This worsted weight yarn is perfect for garments, with the non-superwash quality allowing it to hold its shape beautifully and wear well over time.

Available in a stunning palette of mélange heathers and hand-dyed delights, Riti offers endless possibilities. Whether you’re crafting cozy hats, mittens, cowls, cardigans, wraps, or pullovers, this yarn is sure to impress. The yarn blooms beautifully after blocking, providing excellent stitch definition for all your creative ideas.

Fiber Content: 100% Merino Wool
Weight: Medium / Worsted

Lamana Como – Lightweight and Luxurious

We’re also excited to introduce Lamana Como, a new variation in our collection, offering the ultimate in lightweight comfort. Made in Germany with 100% OEKO-TEX Certified Organic Merino wool, Como belongs to the SUPERLIGHT Collection, using innovative processes to achieve unmatched lightness. This smooth, plied yarn provides an airy, soft feel, making it ideal for children’s garments and other lightweight knitwear.

With Como, you can create elegant, comfortable pieces that weigh significantly less while retaining warmth and durability. It’s available in a wide range of solid colors, perfect for crafting your next favorite sweater, hat, or scarf!

Fibre: 100% Organic Super Fine Merino Wool
Certification: OEKO-TEX Certified

Mokosh from Estelle – Softness Redefined

Another exciting addition to our lineup is Mokosh, one of Hey Mama Wolf’s most popular yarns. This 2-ply, sport-weight yarn is made from Merino d’Arles GOTS-certified wool, sourced from a rare sheep breed native to southern France. With an impressive 21-micron count, Mokosh is one of the softest wools native to Europe. Its high-crimp fleece creates pockets of air, providing excellent insulation, making garments warmer and more comfortable to wear.

Lightweight, lofty, and with a fine sheen, Mokosh is perfect for knitting sweaters, hats, and shawls that need both softness and warmth.
