Churchmouse Studio
As you probably know, over the last 26 years we grew from a little yarn shop on an island into a pretty large operation and then evolved back down to two-person Studio where all we feature are patterns. To thank SKG members for supporting us all these years, we're offering a gift: $10 off any pattern purchase through October 15th, one use per member. At checkout, type in this code: Yay!4SKG and get your discount.

Sacred Sheep | Nov 6-8
We're headed to PDX this fall for our very first Sacred Sheep! We'll be sharing a booth with our dear friends at Fog & Fleece Sheepery and we are already cooking up some really fun collabs. We hope to see you there!
Snohomish Harvested Holiday Market | Nov 22
We'll be among 170+ local makers and we're delighted to be back at Snohomish High School for the Harvested Market with our usual woolly goodness- yarn, roving, crafting supplies and kits, and wool goods for around the home!
Wool & Holly | Dec 5-6
We're bringing our usual lineup of goodies to this new market, with an emphasis on our products that are ready to gift, or spruce up your space for the holiday season. We're also cooking up some new kits and home goods!
Bellingham Holiday Makers Market | Dec 12-13
Whether you'll be picking up gifts or crafting supplies to carry you through the Winter Solstice, we're excited to see you for this festive weekend at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal!
Wool Friends
We have two upcoming workshops that knitters will appreciate:
Intro to Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving, Dec 5–6 with Hannah Watson. Rigid heddle looms are portable, affordable, and a great way to play with knitting yarn in a whole new way.
Painting with Wool, Oct 22 with Nicole Janzen. Learn needle felting and make a charming two-dimensional art piece to display or gift. Use our wool roving, or bring your yarn scraps to deconstruct and play. Only a few seats left!
New yarn on our studio shelves:
Regal Mulberry Silk from Revolution Fibers — a 100% mulberry silk spun as a soft single with beautiful drame, available in 11 colors. Suitable for both knitting and weaving, we're dreaming of wraps, tops, and next-to-skin accessories, especially for those seeking a non-wool option. 200 yards per worsted-weight skein; $24.
Ode Alpaca from Gist: lofty, worsted-weight 100% baby alpaca in 13 heathered colors. We'd love to see this knitted up into a next-to-skin-soft kerchief to wear all winter. 615 yards per cone; $60.
Finally — Sweater Weather, our October knitting retreat with The Tea Cozy on San Juan Island, is sold out. But! You can join our newsletter to be the first to hear about a new knitting retreat coming this winter. Go to wool-friends.com to sign up.
