Annual Tent Sale
2019-05-26 - 2019-05-27 | NH
Our shop will be open from 10 am – 5:30 pm on Saturday, 12 – 4 pm on Sunday and 9 am – 5:30 pm on Monday.
We’ll have special items available in the shop that you won’t find among our sale yarns on the website. We are going to be able to offer special savings on a large selection of irregular and orphan skeins. These will be available at just $5 and $8 respectively. Irregular skeins may have slubby bits or more than one knot; and our orphan skeins are the last remainders of older dye lots that are perfect for larger projects that call for multiple colors or smaller accessories that need smaller yardage amounts. Because these quantities are limited, they are only going to be available to our tent sale customers that visit the shop in person.

You can plan your sales purchases ahead of time by downloading a copy of our sales flyer here. This includes all of the odd weight and unwashed skeins that we have available in larger quantities. These yarns will be discounted from 20 – 40% and will become available in the Sale Items section of our website at 9 am on Friday May 24th.

2019-03-15 - 2019-03-17 | Hampton Inn Brattleboro, 1378 Putney Rd, Brattleboro, VT, 05301, United States
We are excited to announce that Julia Farwell-Clay will be the featured instructor for the Spinnery’s 2019 Sugar Season Knitting Retreat.
Julia brings to her knitting students an abundance of knitting experience and a boundless enthusiasm for the craft. Her distinctive patterns can be recognized by their graphic interest and a modern twist on traditional color techniques.
She will share with us her current passion for intarsia colorwork, refreshing this classic technique through fresh applications. We’ll begin with an intarsia introduction, then we’ll learn more about her eddy shells (shown in the cowl above). On Sunday, we’ll conclude by working on a beautifully simple and graphic mitten in the round, practicing various stranding options and possible embellishments.
Your registration fee of $375 per person includes three meals (Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and dinner) and nine hours of instruction on March 15th – 17th, 2019.
This year’s event will be held at the Hampton Inn in Brattleboro. We have a block of rooms reserved for you at the discounted rate of $125.00 per night. Please contact the Hampton Inn to make your reservation using the code “Spinnery”. These rooms are limited so register early!
This is a retreat in the truest sense, a weekend away, moments of peace and quiet, a chance to visit Vermont with your needles and yarn and knit with like-minded crafters who are equally excited about learning new tips and techniques from one of our favorite designers.
Space is limited, so you’ll want to register as soon as possible, before our spaces fill. You can find our registration form here.
