Social Sit & Knit + Crochet Schedule
We've heard you! Many of you have requested designated times on our schedule to sit and knit or crochet together. We completely understand! There is nothing better than the stories, laughter and fun that percolate when groups of knitters and crocheters gather together.
So we've added two "Sit and Knit + Crochet" sessions to our weekly schedule and invite you to stop by! Come hang out with us at Skeins on Main on Monday nights and Saturday mornings - bring your own projects or we're happy to help you find one. Registration not necessary.
Monday Nights: 7-9PM
Saturday Mornings: 9:30-11:30AM or whenever - we are open 'til 3PM
Please note: These sessions will not have a teacher on hand. This is a social knit/crochet group opportunity.
You are also welcome to stop by the store and bring your projects to work on. We have tables, chairs and comfy couches - please bring yourself, a friend if you'd like, and make yourself comfortable any time.

Gorgeous New Hand-Dyed Yarns from Mystic Fibers - EXCLUSIVE to Skeins
A couple of years ago, we were introduced to a new dyer in the area. We've been thrilled with the results of the relationship. You won't find these yarns anywhere else but Skeins, and you've shown us that you love them as much as we do. Which is why we're so excited to share NEW fibers, all hand-dyed in gorgeous colors just like you're used to seeing by Mystic Fibers. These are soft and luxurious to the touch. Here's a quick run-down of the latest drop:
Gin Membership - Single-ply, 40% Superfine Merino, 40% Alpaca, and 20% Silk. 252 yards. Now that you know what's in this yarn, we think you can start to imagine how it feels, but we still encourage you to come give it a squeeze.
Bubbly - 100% Superwash Merino Boucle. 240 yds. Trying this one out in a small batch -- it's super soft and bouncy and we can't wait to know what you think.
Old Fashioned - 80% Alpaca and 20% Acrylic. Your very, very, very fuzzy new best friend. About 20 colors. 273 yards.

We've got the TEA!
Today was a big day at Skeins, as we officially became a retailer for Octavia Tea Company!! Tea is a new, exciting, and complementary addition to our line of beautiful yarns that contain so many natural fibers. It only made sense to bring in a natural product that could so easily be enjoyed with the yarns. We're very excited to delve into this area, and to bring these amazing teas to Rochester.
We carry full tins, sample sizes and sampler sets so you can discover your favorite types and flavors of tea. It's such a big world to explore and we hope you enjoy trying, tasting and sipping a big cup of tea while you knit!
