Please call Jeannine at Long Tail Knits for the store reopening schedule. Watch the website for rescheduling of classes.
New classes and events just added to our Learning Opportunities section.
Join us for Open Spin nights on the second and fourth Monday of each month at Long Tail Knits in Macedonia. Bring your wheel, your latest project, and enjoy the evening with us.
Have you tried one of our needle felting classes? No experience necessary. No special tools. We choose a holiday or seasonal theme each month, and include a new technique with each project. Classes sell out fast but once a class is filled we schedule a second class for that project so that we can accomodate as many people as possible. The list is in our Workshops section. Loads of laughs and something special to take home each time.
We are wild about weaving!!!! Curious about weaving? Our beginner class includes the use of one of our Ashford Sample It looms so that you can learn how to use the loom, make a scarf, and decide if weaving might be your new passion. This is the ULTIMATE STASH BUSTER ! The Sample It is inexpensive and very easy to use. No crafting skills required. Long Tail Knits is an authorized dealer for all Ashford products, so if a larger loom is what you want, Jeannine can take your order.
We are very pleased to add loads of spinning and felting supplies to our product assortment. We specialize in longwool conservation breed sheep's wool and locks, mohair, loads of sparkly shimmery, glitzy stuff, AND alpaca, both suri and huacaya, in all forms for spinning and felting.
Long Tail Knits is now a dealer for Ashford Spinning Wheels. Both the Country Spinner 2, Traditional, and the new folding Kiwi 3 models are always available for a demo at the store. I have also purchased the new Ashford e-spinner 3 and would be happy to bring it to the store for a demo. Just call Jeannine to set up a time.
Check the Workshops & Learning Opportunities page for dates when we will be having our beginning spinning and advanced spinning technique classes. All of our spinning classes are planned with the goal of your success as our focus.
