Yarn Swap - stix-n-stitches
214 Glenridge Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042 - 973-744-3535
Coming off the resounding success of the first event back in June, it’s time to chase away the winter doldrums with stix-n-stitches second salacious yarn swap!
Take this opportunity to pass on those yarns that have gone from “love at first sight” to “old flames” who just don’t quite inspire you the way they originally did.
Since you’re freeing up all that room in your stash, be sure to see what others have brought.
Maybe that perfect “just gotta have it” yarn has been hiding away in someone else’s stock and is ready to be made into that project you’ve been dreaming about.
The swap is a great time to get your fiber groove on in the company of other yarn fanatics and meet new friends. Come on in and have a great time!
We will be hosting the swap on:
Friday, January 29th 6pm-9pm
and
Saturday, January 30, 11am-3pm.
All yarns must be in separate plastic bags and tagged to indicate fiber content, gauge, yardage, price, and your name.
Friday will be a secret “email members only” swap direct between parties and you may leave your items to be sold in store to the public on Saturday - all monies go to you.
You may drop off bagged and tagged items at the store any time during business hours the week of Tuesday January 26- Friday January 29 from 10am to 4pm.
Please feel free to call with any questions or comments.

The KAL for balaclavas for the soldiers has been going great. We are still accepting balaclavas, so stop by the shop to pick up a pattern and yarn.
There are plenty of projects that still need to be knit. We have lovely colors of Lustre which is oh so shiny and looks great in this crocheted hat pattern. This yarn has a sheen that will attract your eyes.
Deb stopped by to show off some of her latest creations. She has been on a hat binge.
The hats are coming out great. The fashionable trend is towards the slouchy hats. Go on ravelry and check some out!
stix-n-stitches is participating in the Local Yarn Store National Helmet Liner Drive. You can support a soldier knit/crochet a helmet liner. The helmet liners will be shipped to our soldiers serving oversees. Stix-n-stitchers can pick up yarn and the pattern at the shop. There are specific requirements that need to be adhered, so it is very important to pick up information from the shop. We have already received several (see photo above) but it would be great to have everyone contribute.
