Happy Day!!! I hope you've experienced some fun and happy fiber time this past week! We love when ya'll come in and spend time in the shop just hanging out!! The "Circle of Kindness" is a wonderful space where we all share and sometimes just listen to "Alexa" haha!! Oak City Fibers is always open to you visiting regardless of the yarns you're using so please feel free to drop by and relax, release, and enjoy friends in the circle! Our 'new name tags' came in from Katrinkles along with some new notions and 'fun stuff'!! Classes are being planned and scheduled for Kickoff in January 2024!! We've got classes in Socks, Sweaters, Techniques and correcting mistakes all lined up for 2024 and putting the finishing touches on the class calendars this week for knitting and crocheting! Fiber Top provided by our local dyer and spinner, Joyce, Touch of Fiber has brought in new inventory as well so keep an eye out for that at the front door!
The KAL of Oak City Fibers Special Colorway the "One-Skein-Crescent Shawl" by Brian Smith is going great on Wednesdays KAL's (Afternoon and evening) and Winey Wednesday is a huge success!! We started the Crochet-A-Long this past week as well. The pattern is gorgeous!

We do plan to have the November KAL finished by end of November & CAL will continue through December! We will start a new KAL for December. The proposed project has lots of textures and is so much fun!! Watch out for the announcement of that one so you can come grab your yarn and get started first of December.
