~ ABOUT OUR CLASSES ~

* If you have never knit or crocheted before or need help getting back into it, we offer free beginner classes. No purchase is necessary, we have supplies you can practice with. You are welcome to come in anytime during our regular business hours. It is best, though, if you call ahead just to make sure someone is available to get you started.

** For those of you who already know how to knit and/or crochet and would like to take part in a class, we ask that you do the following-

1.  Pre-register by contacting me at  651-257-6199,  or email stopping in at least one week prior to scheduled class so we can plan accordingly. If you decide to take a class at the last minute, it is recommended that you call first to make sure the class hasn’t been cancelled.

2.  Prepay for the classes you would like to attend. If the class is cancelled, your money will be refunded.

~ABOUT US~    

My plan for Miss Elsie's Yarnery is to provide an 
opportunity for anyone interested in learning to knit or crochet a place to do so. We offer, free of charge, classes for the beginner. After that, Miss Elsie's has available a wide variety of class projects for knitters and crocheters of all experience levels.


I have enjoyed knitting ever since I learned how when I was about 10 
years old. I even remember the first scarf I made, which was for my 
mom. I don't remember when I picked up crocheting, but I have 
crocheted things from doilies to rugs. 

Something else that is important to me is to be able to have ongoing 
charity projects. Right now we are involved in the Warm Up America 
project and are collecting chemo caps for cancer patients in the area.

Quality yarn is so important when knitting that special something for 
yourself or someone else. We have found some wonderful yarns and are 
continuing to build on that. What we don't have, we can special order 
and will always be happy to do so. Along with quality yarns we carry 
Addi Turbo needles. If you are not familiar with Addi Turbos, they are 
circular needles made in Germany by a company that has been in 
business for something like 80 years and the needles come with a life 
time warrantee. They are such a treat to work with. We are now 
carrying supplies for needle felting and offer classes in that also.

I have found such joy in knitting and have met so many amazing people 
since opening the yarn shop. I would be honored to have you stop by 
and check us out. Anyone with a knitting emergency or non-emergency is 
always welcomed...come and sit, stitch and visit.
