Swatch Knitting and Hooking

We’re looking for volunteers!
Would you like to have fun trying out new yarns, without having to buy them? We’re looking for knitters and crocheters who would help us with making swatches for our shop!
At Magic Hour Yarn Shop, we know that yarnslingers love to feel the yarns they are thinking of buying. It’s lovely to squeeze a big ball of something luscious, but it’s also helpful to feel what the
fabric feels like when knitted up. Our problem is – We have SO MANY yarns, it’s just impossible for me to keep up with the swatches!
If you are available Thursdays from 1 pm to 3 pm, come on into the shop, and we’ll get you set up!
It’s simple – We will provide a ball, skein or hank of yarn and the appropriate needles or hook, and a cup of coffee, and you relax in our comfy Happy Stitching Lounge and chat with other swatchers while you knit up a sample swatch for the shop. You choose your stitch pattern, as long as you end up with a 4″ x 4″ knitted or crocheted swatch that is representative of that yarn.
There is no cost for this activity. However, please note that the swatches, yarns and needles and hooks stay in the shop, even when complete. (Sorry, no you don’t get to take home the leftovers!)
But you do get to try out some very cool yarns and wools for free! You can also try out some new stitches (we have plenty of texture stitch patterns) if you want to, or just go Garter. No pressure, no rush.
Interested? Call or email us, and we’ll get a basket ready for you!
