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.

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.
100% Louisiana grown and spun!
What did I do in the shop this morning? Connecting with Louisiana history and heritage, actually -- and having a load of fun doing it! You see, the Spanish explorers who came through in the 16th century are the ones responsible (in a way) for my early morning adventure. Back when they were seeing what there was to see, they brought with them some Spanish sheep. And, as things go, and as nature determined, the sheep moved in, just like the people. And just like the people, the sheep adapted to our gulf coast climate. Down here, we tend to wear shorts year round. These Spanish sheep came upon that idea first, it seems, since their descendents now have no wool at all on their legs and faces. Neat, huh? These lovely woolies are what we've come to know as "Gulf Coast Sheep". They have quite nice wool perfect for spinning. Some friends raise these particular sheep associated through history with our area. The sheep were born here and are related to those first Spanish tourist sheep. If they were people, they'd be able to m
ake a roux. Above, there is a picture of one of the sheep from the flock. I'm not sure whether the fleece I have came from this sheep or not (pictured here as a lamb), but he or she more than likely did look just as adorable when he was lamb-sized. For those who think wool is "picky" and hot, think of these fluffy creatures who go around happy and content in their woolens year round. You don't see these fine fury fellows complaining about their picky coats! And let me tell you, when I carded this delightful wool, it was nothing but soft and cushy! Just like a cloud! There's still some lanoline in the wool too, which will make my hands comfortable-soft all day!
