INTRODUCING

WoolWinders Virtual Social Safari

Knitting & Crochet Groups 

At WoolWinders Yarn Shop, our monthly group classes are called 'Safari' classes.  Our Safari class is our most popular class with many Safari students gaining lifelong friendships.  

With the current COVID-19 pandemic we know many of our Safari friends are missing the social aspects of the classes.  It's more than just the instruction (although we've been told the knitting project help is KEY!).  But also the Safari classes are a way to connect with the WoolWinders community, our friends.  So to help all of us out in this time of social distancing, we're offering FREE Virtual Social Safari sessions! 

The Virtual Social Safari sessions are online video chat sessions hosted by a WoolWinders staff member.  We are currently keeping these to a limited number of virtual seats.  These web-video sessions are not meant to be instruction or project help but instead used as a way for us to all connect with each other during this difficult time.  Come be social (virtually!) with us! 

Find the session that works best for you, registration is free but we need your email so we can send you the session link.  

As the days and weeks of our social distancing continue, we'll launch more Virtual Social Safari sessions, so check back often and register for the sessions that work for you!  The WoolWinders family will get through this (albeit at a distance!).  

As you know, WoolWinders Yarn Shop is very proud to be a Rowan Flagship Store, and we were ecstatic to see WoolWinders featured in the Rowan Spring Summer Newsletter 2019!  Make sure to check out our spotlight feature starting on page 30 in the newsletter.  As a Rowan Flagship Store, WoolWinders has a large selection of Rowan yarns and publications, as well as regular Rowan events and trunk shows.

WoolWinders has joined with other select yarn shops around the world as brand ambassadors for Rowan. We are honored to join forces with this well-known, iconic yarn brand. As a Flagship Store, we will have access to trunk shows, models, select yarns, and special events that will bring you the best in design and yarn options right here in Maryland!

Rowan is known for its classic pattern collections, created by prominent designers such as Kaffe Fassett, Kim Hargreaves and Martin Storey.  Last fall, well-known knitting icons Arne & Carlos joined Rowan’s offering of designers. The latest issue of Rowan Magazine, No. 64, celebrates both these collaborations and their “Ruby” 40th Anniversary with a collection of patterns designed by these and other Rowan favorites, all in shades of red.

Rowan Flagship Kickoff Event

To celebrate our new partnership with Rowan, WoolWinders be hosting a Rowan Flagship Trunk Show in our ROCKVILLE shop January 25th - February 3rd. The Trunk Show will feature many sample garments using iconic Rowan Designs and yarns. We'll also introduce Rowan's newest yarn, Moordale. There will be a special giveaway with purchase, raffle prizes from Rowan and much more!

A special presentation regarding the Rowan Flagship program will be given by Michael del Vecchio on Saturday, January 26th at 2pm at our ROCKVILLE shop.

Micheal will be here to meet you and introduce us to the wonderful world of Rowan!  You'll want to take this opportunity to hear all about Rowan's brand new yarn, Moordale, a premium blend of British wool and alpaca.
