If you choose to support our shops - and other great local small businesses - we appreciate you paying with cash! Did you know: for every $1 you spend in cash, 68¢ stays in your local community? Plus, saving 3% that would otherwise go to merchant fees can make or break the bottom line. Continued...

Meanwhile, small, locally-owned businesses like Fancywork Yarn Shop and our neighbors Somwhere Taht's Green, Greenhouse Cabaret, Move It! Dancewear, River Bend Resale Boutique, Alicia's Fashions, Big Story Bookstore and Colima Market are the lifeblood of your local economy. Continued...

Local small businesses appreciate your support every day! If you're participating in the Economic Blackout today, we applaud you! Big corporations who are focused on bloated profits at the expense of marginalized groups are crushing small businesses on the daily. Continued...

We spent a colorful day unpacking a big box of beautiful sock yarn from @juniandsi.bsky.social! These skeins are now ready to jump on your needles so they can become your next spring tees, lightweight hats, fingerless mitts, cozy cowls, and, yes, socks! #handdyedyarn #indiedyed #inbendoregon

The crochet community is posted up at Fancywork for our weekly Crochet Corner hosted by @salenabaca.bsky.social of American Crochet Association! Bring your crochet projects and join in the fun! #crochetsky #knitsky #fancyworkyarnshop #lys #inbendoregon

Sharing this for graduates of our recent Itty Bitty Lopapeysa steeking class and others who are interested in learning the Icelandic Bind Off. Thanks for dropping such great content @pattylyons.bsky.social!

Threads only allows 60 sec videos, so here's a super quick Icelandic BO. Enjoy

Your work is beautiful!!! I love the attention to detail. Where can one see this in person in Bend?

This is the pre-steeked version, showing the gusset which will be sewn on a machine to secure the stitches, then we'll take scissors to it to open it up and, voila!! Cardigan!

We wrapped up a class on steeking, which I taught with my bestie. Six students conquered a scary skill and I got to spend several weeks with my friend, celebrating after with wine. What could be better? If you are #inbend and would like to learn to make a pullover into a cardigan, comment below!

Our local community is chock full of talent. We're so fond of these pretties that bring a dose of unexpected joy at every round of your knitting. @purlsmith.bsky.social stitch markers are the crafty bling of your dreams. Made right here in lil' old Bend. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

We wanted to pop in to this friendly online space to share our favorite things about wool, knitting, crocheting, spinning, hand-dyed lovelies and all the happenings at our shop in Bend, OR! Thanks for giving us your follow!
