Welcome to the Asheville Home~Crafts Blog!

Welcome knitters, crocheters, felters, and fiber lovers all to the new Asheville Home~Crafts blog! We are very excited to be able to bring you many new online features. You will very soon be able to buy the same hats and yarn we have in our store online at our website www.ashevillehomecrafts.com - hopefully in about a week. This blog will also help keep you updated on any new and exciting fiber information.

The Home Crafters have been very busy recently. The winter hat buying season is just getting underway, and many of our artists have brought in new lovely hats of all shapes, styles and colors. We also just attended SAFF, the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair, where we got many gorgeous new yarns from the many vendors there. We also just got in some very unique new yarns with fiber from buffalo and opossum!

Needle felting is taking off - and we have hand-dyed roving of many lovely colors perfect for beginners and experts alike. We have all the needle felting supplies you need: foam, patterns and inspirations, and of course felting needles. We have freshly carded fleeces for all of you hand spinners out there from the finest Ramboullet to Boder Leicester. These fleeces would also be great for needle felting. All of these fleeces and roving can also be used for wet-felting. We also carry the hard plastic hat forms you need to shape your wet felted hats or to block a felt hat.

If you can't get enough knitting needles, you are in luck! The new Hiyahiya needles (don't ask us to pronouce it) have just arrived. The circular needles from this collection have interchangable cord lengths - you can change your 9" to 16" using the same needle tips!
Serendipity needles have also arrived, with adorable needle tops like cows, apples, quilt designs, and many more.

Remember, we have a free Sit & Knit session every Friday night from 5:30-7pm - come join us! The beginner or the experienced knitter or crocheter are both equally welcome. You can ask questions of any of your fellow crafters, or get help on a project you are working on. It's a great way to learn!
