Learn to... Kit
You may have friends who have joked that their ability to knit, crochet, or spin is a post-apocalyptic life skill. You may have made fun of them at one point.
And now, doing your part to flatten the curve of COVID-19, you've binged all the Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/PBS you can handle. Your house is immaculate. Laundry is all caught up.
Suddenly, you're a little jealous of your friends and their ability to use magic wands to enchant string and fluff into usable items. Sometimes even entire garments.
You, friend, are in luck. Stilly River Yarns has "Learn to..." kits ready for this very sort of moment. We have you set up for learning to knit, learning to crochet, and learning to spin. Each kit comes with a handout, recommendations for books and online resources, and materials you need to embark upon your own journey into the fiber arts.
**If you have color preferences for the yarn, please let us know in your order comments at checkout! We'll do our best to fulfill what you ask for.**
