When you enter Wild Purls, you are greeted by a staff of lovely women.  Linda, Ruth, Ashley, Sue, Becky and yours truly, work hard to assist you with questions and conundrums in your life of fiber (or otherwise). We've always got a smile waiting for you and great advice (and opinions!), so feel free to pop in with questions or just to knit and chat. Following are the smiles that await you!  

Tangerine Tango Named 2012 Color of the Year! Tangerine Tango offers “the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward” according Pantones’ statement. Wild Purls can help you find that "energy boost"! 

We are so lucky to have our Beginning Knitting classes. Each and every class, and trust me there are many, many, many new knitters who come our way, we have a few knitters who really take off and find knitting to be a passion. Mindy Sauther signed up for our Beginning class in early September. She caught on quickly and finished her wash cloth, you know the cute one with a star in the middle.

And then Mindy had an idea for a Christmas gift.

Lorna's has introduced a new Kit. As far as I know, they've not released a kit in a long time. It must be a pretty special product that Lorna's loves to include it in a kit with their yarn!   Wild Purls has a limited quantity of these kits, and we want to make sure you go home with one!

Friday afternoon Happy Hour knitting is a place where we share so much more than knitting or crochet ideas. Often we share good books or movies or favorite restaurants and that is how this book club idea was cooked up. Mary Drew, a local librarian suggested that we have a book club and 600 Hours of Edward was a top recommendation.

Our Holiday Happenings workshops started out with mother nature dumping snow on Billings.  What a better day to begin creating gifts for the upcoming holidays.  Knitters, crocheters and even embroiderers spent the day gathered around the table and cuddled into comfy chairs.
