Who knew you were cool enough to knit?

Imagine it. You’ve just given someone special a great gift. They love it… and they can’t believe you didn’t buy it at a trendy store.
“You made this?” they say, stunned.
“Since when did you learn to knit?” they ask.

Why is it so popular? Take a workshop at River City Yarns and you’ll find out.
You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in your work.
You’ll bond with new friends. Oh, and it’s a great way to unwind!

We have workshops for all levels of abilities and in addition to knitting, we also offer crochet and needle felting classes. Workshop schedules and details are included in the calendars below (click on a link). Online Registration is also available.

  • Need some help but can't commit to a regular schedule? Have a project that you need help with? We have a "Drop-In Knit Tutorial" program that has a very flexible timeline and an individualized approach to learning.
  • Want to meet up with other knitters and fibre artists? We have a Drop-In Knitting Circle at the store on the first Thursday of each month.
  • And how about some of these fun and fabulous courses? Everyone's doing it... knitting Socks, that is, and making fabulous knitted jewellery in our Crown/Spiral Beaded Bracelet workshop. Learn to knit with two colours (one in each hand!) in our Fair Isle class or bring multiple colours into play in our Intarsia workshop. Inspire your "mathematical" friends with a Moebius shawl. Make a Prayer Shawl . Learn cool new techniques. You can do it... we can help.
