MAKS 2020 Fall Retreat

If you didn’t get an email contact the store or purchase on the website. The 2020 Fall Virtual Retreat starts this Friday.

Here’s how the retreat will work. We are putting together exclusive projects, one per week for the retreat. Along with the project, you’ll receive a 20% off coupon for the featured yarn to complete the project. And the final week, you’ll receive a 20% coupon off for any additional purchases (some exclusions apply). All purchases can be shipped or picked up at the store, at your convenience.

Along with our weekly projects, we will be having a weekly Zoom & Knit meeting. We started these during the Spring Retreat and enjoyed them so much we wanted to make sure to include them for the Fall Retreat as well. Along with the weekly Zoom and Knit meeting, we are working to schedule additional zoom meetings with some special guests. No Spoilers! Wanna Join Us?
