CLASSES?
We at Lamb’s Ear do not believe that group classes are in the best interest of our customers. Why? Here are just a few of the reasons:
1. Why should you have to wait until a specific class is offered to learn a technique?
2. Everyone learns at a different rate. In a class setting you may have someone who catches on very quickly and gets frustrated. Likewise you may have someone who needs more individual attention and is getting left behind.
3. If you are already buying your yarn, needles, and patterns from a shop, why should you pay extra for a “class” so you can learn how to use them?
4. If a class needs to be held over several days/weeks, you cannot always make every lesson, and get left behind.
We will help you with whatever you want to learn, whatever you want to knit, whenever you want to do it. This means individual instruction, at your own pace, for FREE!
There are 2 conditions, though, just to keep things fair.
The yarn/materials for the project you are seeking free help with MUST be from Lamb’s Ear (of course).
You must be willing to be patient and let us assist you between waiting on other customers.

NEED BALLWINDER OR SWIFT???
This is a heads up. The prices for ballwinders and swifts will go up significantly as of Sept. 1st. Ball winders will be nearly $10 more...and swifts about $20 more. That's a lot. I have a limited amount of both items in stock so hurry if you've been meaning to add these to your fiber tools.
