Please note: Spinning and Weaving Classes and "special" classes require pre-registration and fees. Please review this information by going to the "Classes" page.
Please remember the knitting & crochet classes are FREE if you purchase your needles and yarns in the store. Please call or stop by the shop to make an appointment for these free sessions. Occasionally, there may be a fee for a pattern purchase associated with the class.
ALL SPECIAL CLASSES require PRE-REGISTRATION as indicated, so I don't have an overflow or too many people.
Make Your Visit a Vacation!
If you are visiting from out of town, you can turn your visit into a vacation. We have some wonderful accommodations in Richlands. Please visit the website for the Sara Margaret Inn Bed & Breakfast! This is an elegant place, and the price is right! -- It is worth the visit just to come and stay at this Bed & Breakfast!
Richlands is located near the east coast of North Carolina, and we are within driving distance of Wilmington, New Bern, Jacksonville, and surrounding areas. Some of the attractions include our beautiful beaches on Top Sail and Emerald Isle, Tryon Palace, the Battle Ship North Carolina, Pine Knoll Shores, Aquariums, Fort Macon, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune & New River Air Station. -- You can even charter a boat and tour the intercoastal waterway. If you would like information, visit the Onslow County Tourism website, or you can get more information when you arrive at our County Museum, which is located just down the street from the shop.
