Knit One Quilt Too is proud to carry yarn from Block Island’s North Light Fibers.
As part of its introduction to our store, Sven & Laura Risom from North Light Fibers will lead a hands-on discussion about how handcrafted minimally processed yarn is made in their Micro Yarn Mill on Block Island.
During the discussion, you will get to:
- Handle raw cashmere, yak, merino wool, bamboo, and alpaca.
- Learn what guard hair is and how important crimp and fineness are to yarn quality.
Learn why North Light Fibers steams all of its yarn as well as how they blend the fibers together to give the ultimate knit.
- Enjoy wine and cheese, ask questions, and meet some great people.
