Wynona Studios

Full shelves at Wynona Studios in historic, downtown Oregon City!

The little shop section of Wynona Studios is starting to look more and more full! We had Deidra from Spinner’s Candy bring in some of her beautiful hand-dyed merino braids and Corriedale X roving. It is so bright and cheerful looking! I just love it!

Then Danielle from Miss Purl brought us some of her stitch marker sets. She does an amazing job of packaging, the colors just all go together so amazingly well. She brought us sets of just stitch markers and then also the sets that are stitch markers plus a little matching box to keep them in. There are even a few that have special handmade beads on them.

The cutest stitch marker sets from Miss Purl at Wynona Studios!

We also have a few new recycled yarns available. My personal favorite is this springy leafy acid green that is 70% merino, 20% silk and 10% cashmere. It was once an Eileen Fischer cardigan and the yarn is wonderfully soft, shiny and has a good twist unlike some recycled yarns. I had a hard time putting it out on the shelves instead of in my knitting bag.

And last but definitely not least, we have the October classes up and ready for you! We are really excited about our classes this month! The theme for October is colorwork and we have many different classes to teach you about different techniques. Anne Berk is returning for two classes, Two-Handed Stranded Knitting on Friday October 15th from 6:30pm-8:30pm and Mosaic Knitting on Saturday October 23rd from 3pm-5pm. Anne is a master knitter, and a great teacher. I was amazed at how many techniques, tips and tricks Anne snuck into the Argyle Sock class she taught. We are also pleased to have Judy Herndon teaching a Drop Spindle Spinning class. If you would like to learn to spin, this is the class for you! It is on October 16th from 11am-1pm and includes an recycled CD spindle and fiber to get you started. Judy will be bringing in some her her husband Carls hand-turned wooden drop spindles (they are GORGEOUS!) and some of her pygora goat fiber, so if you end up falling in love with drop spindle spinning during the class you can purchase some of each and keep on going at home!
