Be sure to follow us on our social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat) to get the most up-to-date information about all of these events! We cannot wait to see you - and we hope you agree that this will be a Summer to Remember at WoolWinders!

When: Friday, June 16th, 7-9pm 
Where: WoolWinders Rockville Shop
What: A FUN and relaxing knit/crochet night with all of our WW friends! 
Register: Free - but space is VERY limited (due to fire marshal occupancy regulations)
Call or stop by the shop to reserve your space - and if you like, bring something (fingerfoods) to share. We cannot wait to knit with you!

So at this point you know to come and see us during our soft opening the weekend of May 19th... but you now might be wondering what we'll be carrying at WoolWinders Annapolis. Well, we'll be carrying some of your favorite brands that you've come to love at Rockville - as well as some new ones! Check out just some of the products we'll be carrying at the Annapolis shop. 

Do you see any of your favorites? We're always open to hearing customer suggestions and we'll try our best to get those products into our Rockville and Annapolis shops! 

We've been planning and preparing for the Annapolis shop for quite some time and cannot wait to open the doors in a couple days! Here are some pictures of the journey to opening the sister shop - we cannot wait to take the next sets of pictures of the shop open with all of you there! Looking forward to seeing you at Rockville and Annapolis soon!

BTW - be sure to check it out... Annapolis shop will have a WoolWinders Hank the Sheep in the window! 

Okay so now you're excited to come visit us for our soft opening on May 19th. Or maybe you want to visit us on Sunday the 21st for the Staff Meet n' Greet. But... you may be wondering where to find us?! 

Find us on 709 Skippers Lane in Annapolis. This is a NEW and unique mixed commercial/residential area located in the Village Greens development. You can now search for us on Google and follow your way to us via Google maps!

And of course your now wondering about parking. Don't worry, we have you covered! You'll find plenty of on-street parking or parking at the surface lot in the main commercial area in the next block where several restaurants are located. And just like the Rockville shop - all parking is free!

Next blog post we'll introduce you to some of the brands we'll be carrying at Annapolis. Some are goodies that we have in Rockville... while others will be new and exclusive to Annapolis! 

Have you heard the news? We're opening a second WoolWinders Yarn Shop in Annapolis, Maryland! The Annapolis shop will be a sister store to our main shop in Rockville, Maryland. We are looking forward to bringing the WoolWinders Safari, project, and technique classes to the Annapolis area, and continuing to bring your favorite and new yarns to both Rockville and Annapolis shops. The sister shops will be a way for us to continue to serve and expand our fiber community!

The Farm

Does the whole process of producing yarn interest you? Come meet Laura Johnstone Wilson, owner of Shepherd’s Folly, a sheep farm on the Eastern Shore. Laura will have her all natural, un-dyed yarn on display for sale. Come hear her personal stories of everyday contact with her sheep and alpacas.  You can even read about her adventures on her farm!
