4 Products from our Woolen Mill are starting to arrive in the shop! You must stop in and see the felted shoe inserts, dryer balls, yarns and felted quilt batts! The felted quilt batts are great for strength and warmth. No more lofty batts. The recommended quilting is every 4 inches. The batts are needle felted so they are washer friendly. Recommended is washing with warm water on gentle cycle. Tumble dry low. They are spectacular and what a great way to support our local farmers! All items may be purchased online too, by visiting our website. Christmas is for Giving Join us for 3 days of giving. Starting December 4, we will meet in the classroom for three Mondays of fun and quick projects to make for Christmas gifts. We will see you on December 4, 11, and 18 at 10:30. There will be a variety of projects to choose from. Some patterns may be required. December 5 Felted mitten ornaments $3.50 Gift card holder $3.50 December 12 Christmas ornaments $3.00 December 18 Microwave bowls $3.00 Do you knit? Would you like to learn? There are many intangible benefits that come from spending some time knitting. Once you get beyond the initial learning curve, knitting and crocheting can lower heart rate and blood pressure and reduce harmful levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your bloodstream. It can help alleviate some symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. Unlike meditation, however, craft activities result in tangible and often useful products that can enhance self-esteem. So come and join us for a fun, casual and relaxing time with us knitting at The Old Creamery every Friday morning at 11:00 and enjoy the benefits! Pictured are a recent group of knitters working hard at having fun! Definitely no stress in this group! The doctor said I needed more fiber so I went directly to the quilt shop!
