Great gifts for knitters at Alpaca Direct

| December 14, 2011 8:15 PM

Is there a knitter on your Christmas list? Alpaca Direct is your destination for the perfect gift! Our beautiful storefront in Hayden has everything a fiber crafter needs for a happy holiday, with experienced knitters and crocheters ready to help you find exactly what she'd love. Make all her days merry and bright with a German-engineered Addi knitting needle set or dazzle her with a one-of-a-kind ebony crochet hook. Save time and tame the wild yarn web with a ball winder, then keep it organized with charming project bags and yarn keepers. Treat her to a truly special yarn made from alpaca, mulberry silk, merino wool or let her decide with a gift card for our store and website with more than 4,000 products. Too busy to knit? We also stock a full boutique selection of ready-to-wear alpaca socks, scarves, hats and sweaters to keep your loved ones warm all winter.

Looking for a gift for someone who has everything? Give the gift that keeps on giving - knitting or crocheting lessons! Our hands-on, expert-led classes are available at any skill level, from beginner to pro. Our beginning knit or crochet classes at the Kroc Center get her four lessons with all materials included. Join us on Dec. 20 for a tutorial on our brand new self-ruffling yarn, and you'll be ready to finish a dramatic and fashionable ruffle scarf in three hours or less. Intermediate knitters will love our first "Perfect from Start to Finish" workshop on Dec. 27, chock-full of our best techniques to take your knitting to the next level. And for the busy crafter, we offer DVDs and books covering everything from hats and socks to dog sweaters and entrelac.
