Welcome to Uncommon Threads.  You will find a wide variety of fine knitting yarns, original patterns and finished sweaters and accessories.  We love to knit and we'd love to help you.  Look around - we're sure you'll see something you'll love!

 

We've just recently created a blog which you can find here!

Join our February Knit-Along
Feb Lady
February Lady Sweater
This is one of the most popular sweaters on Ravelry and it's available as a download for free!  Here's the link to the pattern.  If you'd like to join in, we will be offering a 10% discount on the yarn you purchase for the February Lady Sweater during the whole month of February.  If you've never knit a sweater before, we'll offer help to you whenever you need it too!  This is a great top-down sweater that would look great in Malabrigo Worsted and we have a huge shipment that's arriving in the next few days.  If you can't get the pattern yourself, stop in and we'll help you.
We hope you can join us for the knit-along!

 

Feb 2009 Newsletter

Hello Knitters & Crocheters,

 
A big thank you for your continued support of your LYS!  We know things are tough all around right now.  We are striving to keep a wide range of yarns to fit everyone's budget, offer innovative classes, and provide a relaxing spot to come and share your love of fiber.
Please check out our new classes being offered in the upcoming months.  There are some old favorites and some new offerings.

Our customers have started several knitting groups this year.   We have a Tuesday morning group, yet to be named. A Tuesday afternoon "Coffee Club", "The Wednesday Evening  Club", a Thursday afternoon soiree, and a Saturday afternoon "We have nothing else to do" group.  There are no requirements to join these groups, just show up and bring your project along.  We share our knitting secrets and lots of laughs!  So if you are looking for new knitting and crocheting friends, give one of these groups a try.


We are making arrangements for our next Stitch n' Pitch Event with the York Revolution. The date we have chosen is Saturday evening, Aug 15th. We are reserving a huge block of seats, so it's a great time to bring out the whole family (no they don't have to knit) and enjoy a game.  Mark your calendar.  Tickets will be $7 and more info will be coming later. This year we will all be together in one close "knit" section.


Many of you may have heard of the Sheep to Shawl competition at the PA Farm Show, held just 2 weeks ago, but never had the chance to attend.
Well through modern technology and the help of a fantastic blogger, you can feel like you were there first hand. 
Farm Show Wrap-up
I (Beth) was lucky to be there with a fantastic group of young ladies from the York County 4-H fiber club.  The girls in the club range from age 11-16 and carded, spun and wove this beautiful shawl.  If you know any young people who might enjoy joining the Fiber Club, please give me a call at the shop. We are always looking for new members who would like to learn more about fiber arts. The club meets at the 4-H center in Spring Grove on the 3rd Tues each month.
