TWT and Local Events for wool lovers!
Join us for

Knit Night!!

Since opening our brick-and-mortar shopfront back in July 2024, local Thistlers have been requesting knit nights. We're off to a fun start with hosting knit nights and we hope you can join us for the next one on Thursday, March 20th, between 4:30 and 6:00 PM.

While we get a feel for managing our knit night, we're asking for people to reserve their spot using EventBrite. We only have 20 spots available! This will make sure we have enough seating and staff to host all of you lovely Thistlers!

Have you wondered what that wonderful Icelandic Wool feels like all knit up? Or are you already a Lopi Lover and ready for some inspiration. Come in to the TWT Shopfront this month to see and feel the magic of Lopi Yarns.

We have samples from Lopi Book 40, which include accessories and garments knit with Léttlopi, Álafosslopi, and Plötulopi. Come in to get to know these gorgeous samples while they are here! Our Lopi shelves are well-stocked and ready for you to pick out your next project.
