Intro to Amigurumi

In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll introduce you to Amigurumi, the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed animals, usually through in-the-round construction. Designed for those with some crochet experience, or crocheters looking to learn a new skill, this workshop will get you on your way to being as big of a fan as we are!

Tunisian Crochet Fingerless Mitts

Interested in learning the basics of Tunisian Crochet with a simple, beginner project? These fingerless mitts are for you! In this 90-minute workshop you'll learn the basics for Tunisian simple stitch, get started on your custom-sized fingerless mitts, and leave with the confidence to finish up your first Tunisian Crochet project!

Crochet for Knitters

Ever pass up a pattern because the finishing called for a crochet border? Fret no more, knitters! Let us walk you through the basics of crochet by demonstrating two commonly used crochet border techniques.

Two-At-A-Time Toe-Up Socks

It's time to learn the secrets behind magic loop! Level up your knitting experience with this technique and unmask the mystery behind using magic loop for small-circumference knitting - specifically for making two toe-up socks at a time! In this 90-minute workshop we will provide an introduction to knitting two-at-a-time toe-up socks. Getting projects started is the trickiest part of these socks. Our goal is to have you leave with the confidence to continue your project independently with confidence!

Next Level Granny Squares

In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll help you level up your Granny Squares! Our goal is to have you leave with the confidence to tackle your own granny square project!

Shape Your Shawl

Shawls have five basic shapes: Circular, semi-circular, triangular, square, and heart shaped. In this 90 minute workshop, we will introduce you to these basic shapes, their construction, help you plan your preferred shawl, and get you started with your project! Our goal is to have you leave with the confidence to independently complete your shawl.

Sunday Knit/Crochet Together

Catch up with your fiber friends during our first fall Sunday Knit/Crochet Together gathering! This special event includes a catered lunch, community stitching, prizes and Swaran surprises! As a unique bonus during this month’s event, participants will have a chance to shop the store while we’re “Closed” and enjoy the last day of our Anniversary Sale.

We hope you'll join us for at least one of the exciting educational events happening during this year's MFY Sheep & Wool weekend! It is one of our favorite events of the year, and we can't wait to welcome you all in to the shop! We'd love to spread the love, so if you are preparing for or participating in any of the activities, snap a photo and share on social media using the hashtag #MFYSheepandWool!
