got yarn?

No matter what your fiber fetish, The Yarn Shop by Rainy Day Creations has something in store to suit your fancy. What began as a shop catering to knitters has become a lovely little stop for fiber artists of every stripe — felters, weavers, spinners, even jewelry makers!
Special Events!
Join us July 21-July31 for Christmas in July. Throughout the store you will find ideas for holiday gifts to craft as well as gift ideas for the knitter in your life. There will be some free patterns available, specially priced books, and a drawing for a Namaste bag. Also, you will receive 10% off yarn only when you purchase the pattern and materials for a Done by Monday afghan.

Also, on Saturday, July 18, from 2pm to 4pm, the shop will be offering a free class for those who purchase the yarn to create the criss-cross scarf/shawl.

And don't miss our free meet-ups: Knit Night on Thursday, July 16 from 7-9pm and All Afternoon Spinning on Saturday, July 25 from 2pm to 4pm.

Garden Collection Trunk Show
Beginning March 3, 2009, we will host the trunk show for Universal Yarns' newest line of crochet thread, Garden by Nazli Gelin. Garden Collection is a beautiful compilation of 14 crochet designs that will enhance your spring wardrobe. The collection includes light wraps, open and airy cardigans, shells, and accessories. A trunk show is a great opportunity to see a tangible, finished project before crafting one for yourself.

If you haven't yet begun your foray into the world of crochet, this is a perfect opportunity to be inspired to do so. However, lace knitters and weavers will also love this yarn for its rich colors and economical price.
