Hi Fiber Buddies! We are excited to announce that we will be participating in this years PNW Slow Yarn Crawl. It begins May 26, and ends September 4, 2023. This year's Slow Yarn Crawl theme is  ​"Farm to Fiber". We have many shetland and alpaca yarns here at The Hook & Needle Nook that were locally raised and processed and would be perfect for knitting on theme! We also have some local alpaca fleece and beautiful, colorful batts that incorporate local fibers. This year we are the Wild Card shop. That means that The Hook & Needle Nook can be used to complete any region. If you take a selfie with our shop sign and share it with #SYCWildCard, you will be entered into an extra prize drawing! Online Slow Yarn Crawlers will receive a goodie bag when they make a purchase of at least $15. Purchases of under $15 are still eligible for a stamp, but not for the other goodies. If you are a  Slow Yarn Crawler and you make an online purchase at our shop, please leave a note to

Join us for a Mother-Daughter Knit or Crochet Along in honor of Mother's Day!  Bring your mother or daughter whether they knit or crochet or not, the idea is to have a fun bonding time with family. If you are a mother or a daughter and your family isn't available, you are still welcome to join us! We will meet on Saturdays, May 13, 20, and 27 from 1pm to 4pm. Knit-Along Details: Pattern:  Tournesol Shawlette by Allison Bostrom Yarn requirements: 390 - 430 yards of a fingering weight yarn Suggested yarn: Mirasol Sulka Legato is a 2 ply fingering weight yarn spun from 60% wool, 20% alpaca, and 20% silk. A shawl knit from this yarn will be soft, squishy, and have a slight halo. To knit the Tournesol Shawlette you will need 2 skeins of Sulka Legato. One of the many indie-dyed skeins of sock yarn in the shop would make a stunning shawl! Come on down to the shop to find one that speaks to you, or take a peek online here .
