Marin Fiber Arts

Mountain Colors 4/8s Wool in Firestorm

Stitches West is the ultimate in yarn-related orgies. It is a convention geared towards yarnaholics, held every year in February at the Santa Clara Convention Center over a four-day weekend. Classes taught by world-famous instructors and designers are part of the draw, but for many the main draw is the Market where vendors from all over the continent sell yarn, patterns, books, notions, gadgets, buttons, jewelry, lotions, olive oils… well you get the picture

For the first time Marin Fiber Arts will have a booth at the show, selling yarns specially shipped to us from four different hand-dyed companies: Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, Fiesta Yarns, Mountain Colors, and Pagewood Farm. We’ll have worsted weight wool, silk/wool laceweight yarns, cotton/tencel blends,  plenty of sock yarns, and other types of yarns as well. We’ll have loads of patterns, too.

There will also be a bargain bin (more like a play pen, actually) filled with bags of deeply discounted yarns from the friendly folks at Aurora Yarns. You’ll find all sorts of goodies. I can’t say more because even I don’t know what will be in the bin!

We’d love for you to visit us at Booth 628 on the Market Floor. The show takes place at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Friday – Sunday, Feburary 27 – March 1. Admission is $10 at the door, but you can save $2 by purchasing your tickets online by going to the Stitches website.
