Great Christmas Gifts

For Crafters

Crochet Hook/Knitting Needle sets: Check out our great selection of knitting needle and crochet hook sets in a wide range of prices. Never be without the right size tool again with these great sets. Blocking Mats/Wires: Don’t know what they need?  locking wires and mats help create the perfect finished look for a knitted or crocheted piece, and make a wonderful gift for any  crafter who wants the right finish to their projects.

Books: We have a wonderful selection of books for knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers and tatters. These are lovely reference and instructional books to pique every interest. We also have a “like new” book section – books that every crafter should have on their shelf, many of which are out of print. Get a lot more for your money with used books that are good as new!

Handspun/Art Yarn: Handspun yarn is just magical, and we have an entire display of locally produced handspun and art yarns. A single skein creates a small project or becomes a stunning accent element in a larger piece. We have a wonderful selection of various colors, textures and weights. 

Activity Books: Every single yarnster will have fun with the puzzles, word searches and brain teasers in this fun series of knitting and crochet activity books. You don’t need to know their favorite color, preferred fibers or anything and you can still be sure you are giving them a gift they will love!

Yarn Bowls: Check out our beautiful, locally produced, hand thrown pottery yarn bowls. Keep those balls of yarn corralled with these useful works of art. Work Lights: Who can’t use better lighting? From tiny little (but LED bright) lights that fit in a knitting bag to use anywhere to the beautiful slim line LED floor lamp, we have the light to make a crafter’s work better and brighter.

Winders/Swifts: Every longsuffering companion to a yarnster will be thrilled to learn that there is a TOOL that holds those skeins of yarn (you know how you hold your hands up while they wind? A swift does it for you!) AND ball winders that create center pull balls of yarn in a matter of seconds. A gift for them that is really a gift for you too!

Stocking Stuffers
: The things that no fiber artist can have too many of: stitch markers tapestry needles, folding scissors, measuring tape, magnifiers, reading glasses, repair tools, and so much more!

For Everyone

Photographic Puzzles: With 300, 500 and 700 piece options there is a fun option for everyone. These puzzles are a digital photograph and the edge of the puzzle is the shape of the figure – the moose is shaped like a moose, the fish is shaped like a fish… you get it. With nearly 20 different designs you can have lots of fun.

S'Mores Checkers
: It’s traditional checkers… with a twist! The checkers are marshmallows: toasted and white! The board is graham cracker and chocolate squares and it is the funnest checkerboard ever. But wait….There’s more! Play regular checkers or use the shaker to roll the dice and on your move you get to move your opponent’s pieces as well as your own. It adds a level of strategy never before seen in the world of Checkers!

Board Games: We have a line of hilarious board games: Charty Party, where players explain what the provided chart is diagramming; Venns with Benefits where you figure out the connection between 2 very random things and Puns of Anarchy where you answer questions by “tweaking” a common phrase into something else. They are all hilarious and great for holiday family get togethers.

Pottery and Pine Needle Baskets: Locally produced, hand thrown pottery to beautify a home. A lovely gift for just about anyone. Also locally produced, hand woven pine needle baskets are practical, beautiful and everyone can find a use for them.

Beeswax Candles
: Coming to us from the great Chapman Family Farm in Oak City, Utah, we have candles in all shapes and sizes. Beeswax burns at a very high temperature, making them clean burning and very long lasting. And… beeswax! Who doesn’t love the subtle, lovely natural aroma of beeswax?
