Timeless knit treasures that still fascinate
If you plan on attending this year's Wooden Boat Show perhaps your appreciation and admiration come from knowing these vessels were all crafted by hand. Many of these boats were built or restored by grandfathers and great-grandfathers and have been passed down to the next generation. We not only appreciate the beauty and artful skill these vessels require but their timelessness.
As all knitters, crocheters and hand crafters know, what we create with our hands can also become a timeless treasure that lasts through the generations. Our daughter's daughter wearing the baby sweater we made for her, the young bride receiving great-grandma's afghan that she used on cold chilly nights, or the scarf Mom knitted you that you and your daughter fight over who gets to wear it. There is something priceless in the value of dedicating yourself to a craft and preserving its value through the years.
Alpaca Direct believes in the talent and creativity of its customers. We carry a wide variety of instructional books which contain fabulous projects ranging from mittens and hats to intricate blankets, throws and sweaters. Our staff is knowledgeable in technique and yarn selection and we keep our store stocked with notions and needles to ensure your success. One of our customers is a great aunt from Coeur d'Alene to more than 14 great-nieces and nephews. For every wedding she has crocheted them an off white, beautiful afghan to use as a throw on the end of their bed or draped over one corner of the couch in the winter. These timeless treasures are admired, used and appreciated much like the classic wooden vessels you will see on the lake this weekend.
Imagine a hand knit heirloom throw out of our Alpaca Yarn, the luxurious warmth, the softness and durability will make this a favorite gift to give yourself or a loved one.
