Pick Your Palette!

Painting with Yarn is now available through String of Purls. Are you feeling the need to expand your knitting creativity? Or perhaps you're thinking, "What are they trying to get me into now!?" We promise no brushes or actual paints are involved (unless you wish, of course!).

Painting with Yarn is a whole new angle to the "art of knitting." We help you design and coordinate a throw or blanket to match your home decor. If you are local to Omaha or passing through, simply bring in any home decor item with your desired colors. Anne will coordinate yarns to match the item. As a result, she will create a custom "throw kit" to match any room in your home! If you are not in the Omaha area, you can mail us a swatch and Anne will do a phone/email consultation with you.

Visit the Painting with Yarn page today to get started!

Getting Ready for Stitch N'Pitch...Go Team!

We're all getting ready for Stitch N'Pitch on May 26th at Rosenblatt Stadium. If you don't already have tickets, get them soon! There will be a designated area for Stitch N'Pitch participants. Bring any project (knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, etc) and enjoy an evening of stitching fun! If you're looking for a sport-theme project for the event, try Auntie Judith's Creations' "Go Team! Pillow" Now available as a kit. Just choose your team colors and you can design a one-of-a-kind pillow for the graduate or college student in your life. Show your team pride! We'll find colors of Lamb's Pride Worsted Wool Yarn to match your team colors. What are you waiting for?! Let's knit together!

Berkshire Hathaway Weekend

What a weekend! Omaha greeted Bershire Hathaway shareholders for a weekend of speeches, sales, events, and of course, food! The store was teeming with visitors from near and far. If you were one of these visitors, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you! We hope you enjoyed your "Purl Experience" and will visit us again soon.
