The Yarn Barn 5077 Andersonville Rd., Dillwyn, VA 23936 ph. 434.933.3034
The 2025 Shetland Wool Week patron and annual hat pattern have been announced. A digital pattern can be purchased for £2 directly from Shetland Wool Week and I can supply yarn pacs for the Jamieson Spindrift colorway shown on the cover. Or make it your own by choosing any colors from my large stock of Spindrift!
Hairst Mön is a fair isle hat knit with 6 colors of Jamieson DK yarn. I have a few Ravelry pattern codes available with a yarn pac purchase. The dark colorway shown here is in stock, or make it your own from the 159 colors in stock.
Here is my version in Christmassy colors. I thought the design looked like a poinsettia and used a 7th color to get the yellow center. These yarn pacs are also available.
Patterns have arrived for a couple yarns that rolled in over the past few weeks.
Ella Rae Color Marvel is a new 100% superwash wool self-striping yarn knit at 4-5 sts/inch. All 12 colors are in stock, along with 3 supporting patterns that are FREE with your yarn pac purchase - an oversized cardigan, the cropped button-front vest shown here, and a scarf.
4 colors of new Queensland Collection Fiji 100% Merino Wool DK weight yarn are in stock, along with a couple supporting patterns. The "Rainbows" pattern shown here is FREE with a yarn pac purchase.
Ella Rae Cozy Soft Solids is available from my supplier again. This is a 25% superwash wool, 75% acrylic yarn with a nice soft feel that's knit at 5 - 5.5 sts/inch. I now have 40 colors in stock, including 4 new-to-me colors as well as many discontinued colors.
All Ella Rae patterns featuring Cozy Soft Solids and Print are now FREE with the yarn pac purchase, otherwise $6.00.
Simply Shetland's new limited edition holiday hat kit is now in stock. It includes a pattern postcard with a free download code for Ravelry, 5 balls of Jamieson Spindrift, and a branded organic cotton muslin bag. The pattern includes instructions for both a beret and a beanie and is exclusive to the kit through November.
The new Noro Knitting & Crochet Magazine has arrived! It includes 31 designs to knit or crochet in Noro yarns, plus the first block of a new knit-along afghan.
Design Outtakes from Noro Magazine 25: 8 Hushed Designs includes 8 sweaters and vests for women, knit in a variety of Noro yarns. If self-striping yarn isn't your thing, several of these use yarns in solo or tweedy colors.
4 new colors of Noro Ito have also arrived. The "Ipomoea" pullover shown here is from the new Noro Magazine 25 and uses 3-4 skeins of Ito.
4 hand-painted, twilight-inspired colorways of new Araucania Huasco Sock Twilight Paints have arrived, along with 2 supporting patterns FREE with yarn pac purchase, including the cowl shown here.
I have rewritten my Entrelac Vest pattern to use one of my favorite Noro yarns, Akari - lots of colors available, and comfortable to wear year round.
The pattern uses 2 skeins of Akari for finished sizes 40" - 48".
Can you believe it's time to think about knitting for Christmas?
I have a variety of kits and patterns to knit Christmas stockings, ornaments, pillows, sweaters, etc. Also vintage needlework kits, quilting patterns, cross stitch patterns, and needlepoint canvases.
Elegant Heirlooms has 3 lines of Christmas Stocking kits which I can have drop-shipped to you: Elegant Heirlooms, Googleheims, and DooLallies.
I have restocked 6 colors of Frangipani 5-ply Guernsey Wool. These colors are available in both 500gm cones ($62.00) and 250gm cones ($36.00). A few other colors are in stock in sweater quantities; more colors are available in small quantities sufficient to make a hat, scarf, mittens, socks, or perhaps a child's sweater. Check out these patterns for ideas, including the "Sunday Best Fisher Gansey" shown here.
I also have a new supply of Frangipani color cards.
3 colors of new Mirasol Llama Hasa 100% Baby Llama bulky weight yarn are now in stock, along with a pattern for a cabled scarf, mitts, and slouchy hat.
6 colors of new Mirasol Chusku 100% Corridale Wool DK weight yarn are now in stock, along with 4 patterns including the "Caldas" hoodie shown here.
5 colors of new Jody Long Colourspun bulky weight yarn have arrived, along with 8 patterns including "Bobbie" shown here.
When I moved my store from Ohio to Virginia, I did not add the needlework kits, etc. to my web site. I am sorting through the boxes and posting those that are still useable. These items are all at least 25 years old and have been in storage most of that time. They would be an inexpensive way to learn needlepoint, cross stitch, or various types of embroidery.
We have re-enabled shipping options to Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
All packages to destinations outside the U.S. will ship using a service called Global Post. This is a service where I send packages to a collection point in the US, then they are bundled and shipped to other countries by Global Post for customs clearance. Once customs are cleared, the local post office delivers your package.
I do not collect any taxes (VAT) or customs duties owed on international shipments. You may need to pay these before your package will be delivered.
Teachers from Appomattox Head Start recently visited the store to make a virtual field trip video to share with their students for a unit about clothing.
Teachers: Ms. Dill, Ms. Ferguson, and Ms. Savage
