Take a Class and
Learn Something New
with Your Friends at Great Balls of YARN!
We've
created a new and exciting menu of project-based classes just for
you! We hope you're inspired by our new projects; many of which are
super easy once you get the hang of it! Learn a new technique and
broaden your knowledge all while making new friends who share the
same interests as you! Most classes are $35, plus the cost of
materials, except where noted. Some classes require "homework" and those are noted as well.
As always, we are happy to schedule private instruction around your
schedule. Private classes are $30 an hour and many people find those
to be most beneficial when you make a "hit list" of what you want to
learn. We're here to help and inspire you, so please, if you have
any questions, just ask!
Class
Descriptions - Sept, Oct, Nov.
 DECORATIVE
CROCHETED
BORDERS & TRIMS
Ever wanted to make a blanket super special? Or, did you neglect to
knit a gauge then need to lengthen a sweater? Don’t rip it...fix it
with a festive crochet edge! In this class you’ll learn a few
classic crochet trims that will become your signature. A basic
understanding of crochet will make this more advanced class a fun
experience for you!
ENTRELAC MADE EASY!
The woven fabric of Entrelac looks so complicated, but we make it
easy. You’ll love this short-needle technique that’s ideal for many
uses. Dazzle your friends with all the unusual projects you can make
after learning this skill! Look at this gorgeous scarf that you will
know how to make!
GREAT BALLS & SQUIGGLES
SCARF
This will be our most unusual scarf this season! Using Pagewood
Farms' Giant Purls, we embellished this funky muffler with
squiggles. We’ll also share other embellishment techniques with you
in this class as well. (Purchase of Giant Purls yarn is necessary to
participate in this class.)
AFRICAN ADVENTURE
AFGHAN/TABLE RUNNER
Check out this amazing collection of color! If you can knit, you can
tackle this exciting and fun class to make your own
African
Adventure Throw or decorative table runner. A terrific way to use up
your stash!
 BABY BOOTIES & HATS!
Baby booties and hats are a great way to graduate from the simple
scarf. Made in micro-version, you take the same premise and apply it
to larger size hats and socks! This is a three hour class and tuition
is $45.
BABY BOBBLE HATS!
Whimsy and fun! The only thing that can hold you back is your own
 imagination! In this class you will learn to work in the round and
we also cover basic intarsia knitting, as well as creative ways to
embellish your hat. These make fast and fun gifts for kiddies!
KNITTED STUFFED TOYS
Dive Under the Sea! These adorable stuffed toys will delight the
little ones in
 your life! Perfect for baby shower or holiday gifts!
ARAN KNITTING
Treat yourself to an Irish tradition with our Aran Knitting class.
While cables look complex, it’s surprisingly easy. After taking this
you’ll confidently be able to tackle charts and master different
cables over various stitch patterns. We recommend this to students
who’ve completed Advanced Beginners.
LACE SCARF
Ever wanted to learn lace knitting but shied away due to fear of
yarn-overs? Well, we make lace easy in this basic lace scarf class.
Working with a limited repeat, you’ll learn how to “read your
needle” as well as a basic lace chart. We’ll give you line by line
direction so you can create this beautiful heirloom quality scarf.
