Uncommon Threads Yarn

If you’re joining us for Linden Tree Books Where’s Waldo hunt this July - welcome, we’re so glad you found us. While you’re here, say hello to Happy Chenille.

It’s a tiny 15g ball of velvet-soft chenille in 25 colors - neutrals, pastels, and brights - and it makes the most satisfying amigurumi imaginable. Little animals, tiny food, creatures of uncertain species. If you’ve got a kid who wants to make something, this is a very good place to start.

Come find Waldo. Stay for the yarn.

A Christmas stocking is really just a sock - which means this class is also a great excuse to finally learn sock construction, without the pressure of making a pair.

Shellye's three-session class starts Thursday, July 9. You'll cover the fundamentals and choose your own direction: classic stripes, textured patterns, intricate colorwork. Plenty of time to finish beautifully before December arrives. Register online or call us at (650) 941-1815.

Ribbon Street bags have landed… this is just a sampling of the styles we’ll be unpacking before the shop opens tomorrow. I already spotted one or two that I can’t live without!

Join me Tuesday morning live on IG and I’ll go through the bags with you - they’re only available in-store but please give us a call if you see a style you must have.

Some yarns have a season. Rowan Alpaca Cotton isn't one of them.
The blend - soft, with a slight halo and just enough drape - works as well in a relaxed summer pullover as it does in a stranded colorwork accessory you'll reach for in November. The palette is elegant and timeless. It's the yarn you add to your stash knowing exactly what it will become.

We've added it to our Semi-Annual Clearance Sale, and the coordinating MODE at Rowan patterns are on sale alongside it — which makes this a rare moment to start a project ready to cast on right now.

Four worth looking at:
MODE Titchwell
MODE Shell & Heydon
MODE Coast Hat & Snood
MODE Dunwich
In-store and online while we have it.
