Classes


Beginning Knitting and Crochet: Beginning classes for knitting and crochet are scheduled one-on-one at your convenience during business hours. You may schedule lessons just for yourself, or for yourself and a few other friends. In beginning knitting, you will learn your stitches while you create a beautiful chunky yarn scarf. At the end of your mastery period, you'll have a fabulous accent you can actually use!

Classes a la carte: If you weren't able to attend a specific class, or you missed out entirely on one, here's your chance! Simply schedule the class topic of your choice at the time that's convenient for you.

How Much Do Classes Cost? At Vermilion Bay Yarn, we're all about getting you moving on your fiber projects and getting you going with new techniques. All classes (including beginning knitting and crochet) at VBYC are $20 plus materials. You do not pay each time you come in to continue the same class.

What's Available At Vermilion Bay

The Vermilion Bay Yarn Company is your local source for the fine yarns of Rowan, Classic Elite, South West Trading, Cascade, Plymouth, Schaefer, Malabrigo, Muench, GGH, Brown Sheep, Lana Grossa, Tilli Tomas, Universal, and many others! We offer high quality needles and hooks from Addi, Chiaogoo, Hiya-Hiya, and Brittany. Vermilion Bay Yarn (YOUR local yarn shop) is YOUR one stop for all your knitting and crochet notion needs: counters, holders, markers, darning eggs, tapestry needles, etc.

Knit Cafe: The Evening Fiber Art Group meets on Tuesdays from 6pm-8pm at the shop. Bring your project(s) and sit for as long as you like. Food, coffee, and soft drinks are always provided, and everyone is encouraged to add to the buffet.

Need something repaired? Favorite sweater with moth holes? Heirloom lace with a snag? Bring it in for an estimate.

Don't have time to knit or crochet it? The Vermilion Bay Yarn Company is your only local custom fiber art source! Please visit the shop for an estimate.

Knitting Parties at VBYC: Gather together 10 of your friends or colleagues and set a date/time for a knitting party at Vermilion Bay Yarn! Beginners and seasoned knitters can participate in the same party! Folks who've never knitted before will learn how and the experienced knitters work their own fun project! Contact the shop for details!

Our Return Policy

Now and then we purchase a bit too much, or decide that a different yarn might be better for a project than the one we selected. Here's how VBYC accomodates merchandise returns. This policy is also clearly displayed in the shop by the register. Thank you for your business!

Merchandise purchased at The Vermilion Bay Yarn Company may be exchanged/returned for shop credit only. No cash refunds. No exhanges/returns on special orders. Gift Certificates may not be redeemed for cash. Yarn presented for exchange must be odor-free and in new condition with the yarn band intact. Yarns wound into skeins are not accepted for exchange.

Knitting Rescue and Project Help

We are most willing to assist YOU, our customers, with quick help or to fix minor blemishes in your fiber work at no charge. As I see it, that's all part of what YOUR local yarn shop is about, especially if your project originated from VBYC. If you find yourself in need of frequent coaching on a particularly challenging project, or if you require detailed assistance with a project obtained elsewhere, we encourage you to make that project into a class ($20 fee applies) for the duration of your work.

What's All New At VBYC....

The Knit Kits have been very popular. They are the "Swiss army knife" for fiber fans. Each unit contains all the fiber work essentials in one place: crochet hook, yarn cutter, measuring tape, counter, scissors, point protectors, and markers. These gems are perfect for the travelling fiber artist. They're in stock now. Pick yours up today! Sierra Quatro is just like the solid colored Sierra (80% cotton, 20% wool -- just enough wool to make it soft, and it's machine washable, folks!), but contains other colors spun evenly into the yarn. No pooling of colors or the typical "brick effect" common to regular varigated yarns. Need a groovy alternative for a summertime project? Consider Sierra Quatro! Fixation. Making stretchy baby pants? Making stretchy anything? Fixation is the yarn you need. Available in several attractive colors, Fixation has the stretch built right in. This is the yarn for those last-minute baby shower gifts that won't break the bank. Pastaza: More colors! As the summer sun starts beating down on Acadiana, it's hard to think about winter, but this is perfect yarn for winter wear: cozy, a little fuzzy, and ultra comfortable. Those of you who enjoy ski trips and such will appreciate having a plush, luxurious sweater handknit in Pastaza! Make a matching scarf and hat as well! Not into sweaters so much? Use Pastaza to make yourself a jacket for our milder Louisiana winters. Throw it on, take it off! Coming soon: more colors of Malabrigo! This miraculous South American yarn has been a favorite among our sweater knitters and afghan knitters alike! Soft like Buttah! Want a quick afghan knit? Try a Plymouth Done By Monday (2 strands of Malabrigo on 13's or 17's). A number of our knitters have made several, and they're FABULOUS. It's an afghan you'll want to turn down your AC for in July!
