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.

Knitters' Cruise 2010: Bus information

Those of you who are sailing with us in October, here is important news regarding bus transportation from Lafayette and Baton Rouge to the port in New Orleans. Jane has provided us with the possibility to travel to the port via motor coach instead of driving ourselves, paying for parking in the port garage, and dealing with the possibility of nasty traffic between Poydras and the garage entrance in New Orleans. Here's the information: If at least 30 folks take advantage of the bus, the round trip cost for the bus is $80 per person. Cost to park in the garage at the port is approximately $125 for the week. The pick-up point in Lafayette would be the Northgate Mall. In Baton Rouge, it would be Coffee Call.
Now here's the thing: Please decide NOW whether you will be fighting traffic on your own, buying your own gas, then paying 125 sheckels to have your car sit in New Orleans for a week, or whether you'd like the luxury motor coach experience with comfortable air conditioning, curb-side luggage assistance, and worry free navigation of New Orleans street chaos, not to mention a couple hours free to knit and visit with your travel-mates for only $80.
And this, in case you were wondering how all this works: the cost for the bus IS NOT included in the cost of the cruise. Please include a separate check for $80 clearly marked as "bus" with your final cruise payment. If we do not have enough folks to ride the luxury motor coach, your check will be returned to you. But who could pass up this great offer?
And finally, in case you were wondering. No, yours truly will NOT be driving this bus.
