WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN how-to MAKE?

Made by you ...

No time like Spring to embark on a creative journey.

Many thanks to all of you who came out for Stitch Therapy's opening! It was an amazing weekend and we've had an amazing, and innovating time here since. I doubt this comes as a surprise to any of you, but here at Stitch Therapy we waste no time and already have plenty of events and classes for you to sink your creative teeth into! The first starting very soon at the end of this month! 


Here is a sneak peak list of all the classes we have planned:  http://bit.ly/Vbs6mo

New arrivals in spring colors.

 NEW ARRIVALS


New from Berroco: Maya, 75% pima cotton 25% alpaca in twelve pure and clean colors. This yarn is perfect for projects from "baby" to "man" offering flexing guage and clear stitch definition.


 Maya is a worsted weight yarn from Peru that is a Pima Cotton and Baby Alpaca blend, with a chainette construction which is strong but very soft to the hand. This chainette construction makes for a very light weight fabric, I love this new yarn for your next projects in a palette of the softest spring hues.


New Address : 180 Linclon Place (7 - 8th Avenues) Park Slope Brooklyn

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This Blueface lives in Jamaica, West Indies

The new location is still under construction my crew has been working hard. 
I hope to have a soft opening in the third weekend of April and a party the following Saturday.

 I just returned from Jamaica where I met this Blueface Leister/Merino, five of them reside a stones throw from the beach in the parish of St. Thomas in Jamaica not far from my family home.

A PEACEFUL EXIT, and A BOLD RETURN to LINCOLN PLACE

 

...sounds like a title from an old romantic novel, and maybe there is some hint of romance to it. After moving from one home to another...and another, growing and discovering what we want and how we'd like to be; Stitch Therapy, A Fine Yarn Shop is returning and settling down in a new store front on Lincoln Place; Just two doors up from our old place!

 

The more things change the more they...stay the same! Expect more of the same amazing Stitch Therapy, but with more space and even more comfort.

 

This shop will be a re-emergence of the tactile experience and creative oasis we've always dreamed of providing for our customers and friends. We encourage you to join us at Stitch Therapy, start a project and continue working on it with guidance, input and conversation from our community.

 

But before the grand opening of our new store in April, we need to move and clear our current stock to make room for new seasonal and natural fibers, which means Clearance Sale! The sale starts this Saturday, 2/23, and goes until we (temporarily) close, with 15% off all yarns!

 

If this sounds as exciting to you as it does me, come celebrate on March 3rd at 6pm in  Noella Brew Bar where we will be saying goodbye on the eve of moving on to new and inspiring endeavors!

Here are a Few Important Notes to Keep in mind:

* Please feel free to drop by the hours of 12-7pm, Tuesday through Sunday to help get rid of stock and find out more about our new shop, and what projects and activities you can participate in through Stitch Therapy's website.

 

* Besides our usual hours and day off, we will be closed on Thursday, February 28

 * There will be no store front during the month of March, but Private lessons will be made available during our temporary close. Take the leap and schedule a lesson for Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 12-4pm

Looking forward to seeing you all soon in our new space and creative sanctuary! Save the date for the re-opening Sunday,  April 1st.

Opening Reception

Brooklyn artist Gail Rothschild opens FABRICATIONS, a solo show at the Old Stone House of Brooklyn.

Rothschild's work is a muscular, tactile exploration of the physical world and dynamic movement in space, reflecting her love of rock climbing. Ropes and knots become lifelines that interconnect, weaving multiple levels of meaning. The paintings begin with the basic interlocking unit that implies an infinite pattern. What grows also decays; what is interlocked will also unravel. The final painting expresses these realities of nature and culture. Tied through history, textile as common craft and painting as high art reflect the problematic privileging of human creation. By painting the de-fabrication of textiles, the work challenges notions of artistic expression and the hierarchies that are woven into our collective consciousness.
