Coming In March

A New Class to Refine Your Skills!

Gauge Matters!

• Have you ever run out of yarn for a project?
• Have you ever made a hat that didn’t fit – Anyone?
• Do your projects come out larger or smaller than the pattern says?

It’s because 

Gauge Matters! 

All of the above result from ignoring the real 1st step of a Knit of Crochet project – Swatching for Gauge! Ok, so

• Sometimes you do the swatch, it matches the pattern, so off you go… but your project ends up too big or too small. 
• Sometimes you do the swatch, it matches the pattern, so off you go… but you still run out of yarn or have a lot left over & the project doesn’t fit! 
• Sometimes you do the swatch doesn’t match the pattern’s stated gauge & you don’t know what to do or you don’t know how to interpret the results. 

How do you get it to fit? Easy!  Join us for Gauge Matters - a bootcamp on why gauge is important to your project - even if the pattern says it is not – Saturday, March 9th from 9am-12pm for Knitters and Saturday, March 30th from 9am-12pm for Crocheters! The cost for the session is just $45, plus materials (yarn for in-class work and a ruler for gauging).

These 3 hour sessions are hand-on and not a lecture. There are pre-class samples (see back of flyer) that must be completed before the class meets and will be used during the class. Pre-registration is required. Stop by the store or Call 732-847-3665 to register.

Mandala Madness!

Colorful Crochet Mandalas are a modern take on doilies. Often each row is a different color rather than the same color all the way through. They are fun and easy to do! This March 16th and 30th we will be adapting a basic square mandala to cover a square Jute totebag. This is a great way to learn about how mandalas are constructed, and even some new stitches. All you need is about 135 yds each of 6 colors chunky weight yarn, a US I hook and a jute totebag (12" wide bye 12" high by 6" deep). 

The cost of the 2 session class is $50 plus your materials. Pre-registration is required, so sign up early!

Sheep!

Amigurumi is not difficult, especially when you are working on these adorable sheep. Marshmallow is knitted using US 4 DPNs and just wants to hug everyone in sight. You can learn about amigurumi while making him (or her) Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm on March 5th and 19th. Bubbles is crocheted using s US G hook and is the perfect size for that special little one you know. You can make him on Wednesdays 3/6 and 3/20 from 7-9pm. Pre-registration is required for both classes and there are a limited number of kits available, so don't delay.

FAQs

What is Consignment? When your leave an item or items with someone for the purpose of selling them. When they are sold, you receive a percentage of the sale price, generally ranging from 40% to 60%.

What types of yarns will be accepted?  Yarns that you, as a shopper, would like to see luxury fibers, premium yarns and hand dyed, as well as old standards from your stash that need to be moved along, are perfect for the Moore Yarn Consignment Club. Any quantity of yarn is accepted, but full Hank or Skeins only. They may be purchased as a group or individually.

What will not be accepted? Most generic yarns found in Big Box & discount stores will be rejected. We do not feel that these yarns represent the quality of yarn that our customers are used to.  Please, don’t be offended if we say no to something you bring in.

How is yarn priced? Yarns are priced based on an average of retail price or the original purchase price (as marked) less 20%.

How long will yarns be available for sale? Yarns will be placed on the Sales floor for a minimum of 2 months and then replaced with new items. This means if you see something you like – get it; it may not be there when you come back.

What happens at the end of the Consignment Period? At the end of the consignment period, the yarns are removed and returned to their owners. This allows us to bring new and different yarns to you on a frequent basis. Just like outlet stores and other consignment stores, it is important to stop back early and often. New items will be put out on (or about) the 10^th of each month.

What if my yarn is sold? When your yarn is sold, you will receive a check for 40% of the sales price. The remainder goes towards rent of the unit, packaging, etc.

Can previously accepted, but unsold yarn be brought back? Sure, but please wait 6 months before bringing it back.

Can previously rejected yarns be brought back? Yes, but unless we could not accept it because of a lack of space, it will likely be rejected again.
