Welcome to the Creative Yarns website.  You’ll notice that we have a completely new site design.  Please take a look around, and let us know what you think.  We’ll be adding some new features over the next few months, and we’d love your feedback about what you’d like to see.

The recent site changes are focused on making the site more dynamic – we hope you’ll come back often to learn what’s new at the store.  Our first posts are about current class offerings – check out the Calendar and Classes options on the main menu (top right of the screen).

We also plan to make regular posts about new yarns in the store, and exciting new designs that Nina is working on.
