Summer Clubs and Sales!


Well summer is here and the weather has been crazy. Here at the Yarn Sellar, we have some fun clubs and sales to keep you busy during the warm days.

Join us at our second informal meeting of the Bond Club on Thursday, August 11 at 4:30-6 PM! We thank Carol Leitz for sharing her knowledge with us. We look forward to seeing you there!

A charity fundraiser is being held at Casey's Pub for Breanna, a 13 year old girl who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This benefit fundraiser is to assist her family off-set medical expenses. It is being held on July 17th, 1-6 PM. It is a silent auction, with activities and food provided.
Casey's Pub
7307 North Alpine Road, Rockford, 61108

Join us for our COTTON SALE July 5- July 16! You will receive 30% off all cotton yarns- which include cotton blends. Use a full EWE card and receive an additional 20% off! If it has cotton in the blend, it is on sale!

New Yarn Winding Policy
Due to extra wear & tear on our equipment we no longer wind yarn not purchased at the Yarn Sellar.
Please note: Request your yarn be wound at the time & place of purchase to save on any inconvenience to you.

There will be no classes during July and August! Make sure to look for the September and October class schedule on the website after Labor Day, September 5.

Sock Therapy and UFO sessions continue on select Thursdays throughout July and August! Come and join with any questions you have! Check the schedule on our web site www.Yarn-Sellar.com.

There is still time to take part in our Summer Crochet Along/Crochet Circle Vest! Every Friday in July 1-3 pm! Prices are based off of the yarn of your choice. Choose your yarn and save 25% off! You can stay the whole time or come and go as you wish. We look forward to seeing you!

Summer Fiber-Crafting at a Savings!

We're inching towards summer, with rising temperatures and lots of sunshine. Don't let the heat make you put down your knit and crochet projects! In fact, now is the perfect time for working on summery projects like bags, cute socks, tank tops, or even light shawls for those evenings when things start to cool down!

The right choice of yarn can make summer knitting or crocheting a breeze! Why not try some nice cotton or cotton blends for your next project? Bamboo is another great summer fiber. We have some great selections in the store, from sock yarns to ribbon yarns to add a little something special to your projects. For example, you'll find:
  • Southwest Trading Company Xie bamboo laceweight yarn on a convenient cone, available in many vibrant colors
  • Plymouth Sockotta self-striping sock yarn
  • Southwest Trading Company Tofutsies sock yarn in both self-striping and hard-to-find solid colors
  • Berroco Ultra Silk ribbon yarn
  • Knit One Crochet Too Fringe textured ribbon yarn
  • Jaeger Celeste ribbon yarn
  • Louisa Harding Glisten ribbon yarn for a little extra sparkle
  • Steinbach Wolle Capri light sport-weight yarn in both solids and multis
  • Tahki Cotton Classic sport-weight yarn in both solids and multis
  • Knit One Crochet Too Ty-Dy worsted-weight yarn
  • Plymouth Fantasy Naturale heavy worsted-weight yarn in both solids and multis
  • Knit One Crochet Too Italian Ice bulky yarn in both solids and multis

With so many warm-weather-friendly yarns to choose from, it's hard not to get excited about summer knitting and crocheting!
