WEEKEND SALE EVENTS
Monday, February 10/20 – Weekend Sale Events
Just a reminder that the store will be
closed next Monday, February 17th for Family Day.
A note from Janet:
Hello to all of you on this snowy February morning! This week, we have a VERY exciting email to share with all of you, our fabulous customers!
On Friday the 14th of this week, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, and on the following Monday the 17th, we enjoy Family Day. Now remember, the store will be closed on the Monday as we take a break for Family Day, but what better excuse to celebrate the rest of the weekend here at the store! Let’s beat the winter blahs together and enjoy this 3-day event!
Never before have we offered a 3 DAY SALE at London Yarns, but here it is! On Friday the 14th we will show all our customers how much we LOVE them by offering EVERYONE 14% OFF! This discount is storewide* and is effective all day, 9:30 – 5:00. We will also have extra special treats to share with all of you. What would Valentine’s Day be without the chocolate, candy and flowers! Not to mention we have some extra special yarn “treats” available as well; some freebies, some one-of-a-kind finds, and some super-duper discounts on discontinued or end-of-line stock. Be sure to join us and celebrate the LOVE of fibre!
The fun doesn’t end there! The sale continues on both Saturday & Sunday but we are changing things up just a bit! This weekend, the more you buy, the more you save! The tiered discounts will be available to all our customers and our SSK members will save an additional 5%! See all the details that follow in the body of this email.
This 3-day weekend is going to be FUN, FUN, FUN! I can hardly wait! I hope to see all of you at some point over the weekend!

“ALASKA” FAIRISLE HAT – Learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle” Knitting Technique
One 3-hour Session
Cost: $75 (yarn* & pattern included)
Date & Time: Wednesday, February 12/20 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
CLICK HERE to view some of our Class Graduates successful hats!
This is the perfect time of year to knit this beautiful Fair Isle hat! Join Janet to learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle" method of knitting colourwork. Unlike stranded Fair Isle knitting, the Two-Handed Method automatically eliminates any floats from occurring on the wrong side of the fabric! This is accomplished as the colour not in use is magically woven in with the colour that is in use. Here is the best part….. Your 2 yarns NEVER GET TANGLED UP! Once you have learned the 3 simple steps to this technique, you can use the Two-Handed Fair Isle method on anything Fair Isle; sweaters, yokes, shawls, wraps, cowls, scarves, mittens, hats, you name it!
The Alaska hat is knit in 2 colours of 4-ply Fingering or “Sock” Weight yarn. Choose from two solids or a combination of solids, tonals, or self-patterning yarns. Knitting this hat is very rhythmic and is a nice project that is light in your hands. The pattern will be provided digitally via email and a working copy will be printed and provided for use during class.
Janet has recently revised the crown shaping for this hat, as shown in the picture. The instructions for this alternate crown shaping will be provided in class. All prior students are welcome to this handout – please ask for it the next time you are in the shop!
(* depending on yarn choice, you may have enough yarn to complete two hats, by reversing the colours for the second hat)
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches; comfortable working in the round on circular or double pointed needles

Teacher: Louise
Sock knitting has dominated the knitting world for the past several years and will continue to do so for many years to come. Don’t be afraid to dive into your first pair of socks! We will guide you through every step of the way from casting on and knitting the leg, completing your heel flap, turning the heel, knitting the foot and grafting the toe. Soon you will be turning heels and tapering toes like a pro! Warning: Knitting socks is highly contagious! Once you start, you can’t stop. You simply can’t just make one! (pair, that is).

Join Janet and be a part of this Club exclusive to Machine Knitters. Knitters can expect to be exposed to numerous new stitches and techniques in hand manipulation, machine patterning, bindings, trims and finishing techniques. Each square knits up quickly and easily on the LK150 knitting machine. By the end of the sessions, students will have completed many knit squares showcasing what they have learned and it is recommended assembling them to create a beautiful throw highlighting the varying new stitches.
We are pleased to offer all participants a 15% discount when they purchase sufficient yarn from London Yarns to complete this on-going project. Students may choose multiple colours or a solid shade throughout.
All of the stitch techniques learned can be combined and transferred to many other aspects of your knitting! Use your newly mastered stitches (or combinations thereof) in garments, baby blankets or home décor items or to create scarves, wraps, sweater panel designs and/or afghan panels. The possibilities are limitless!
This “get-together” for machine knitters will encourage “Show & Tell” and will be an outlet for machine knitters to share their projects, ideas, and questions.
You will be knitting samples of the new stitches or techniques right in class, and should questions arise from the group, they will be addressed at the next session. EVEN IF you were unable to attend one of the sessions you will still receive all of the hand-out materials!
Rated: All Machine Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Basic Knowledge of the LK150
We hope to see you soon, whether that be on Friday for 14% Savings all day, or during the weekend for our STOREWIDE SALE EVENT!!
