We always talk about getting away to unwind, lets stop talking and do it!! We are excited to announce L & B Yarn’s annual retreat to The Tatanka Ranch “Unwind 2010″. We have been busily planning a relaxing knit-a-way March 27th-28th, that will include a one night stay at our favorite Oklahoma retreat spot, 3 meals & snacks, and a wine tasting. The cost to join in the fun for 25 people is $180 with a non-refundable deposit of $90. For more information or a detailed schedule call the store at 405-310-3636 or e-mail us!

When looking for a pattern with a classic look, simple to knit, and flattering for many body types you can’t pass up knitting “Margot” by Linden Heflin. The knit-a-long is free as long as you purchase your yarn from L & B Yarn Co.

We will be closed all day to celebrate the New Year. Stay safe and have fun!

This scarf is adorable and a quick knit for anyone on your Christmas list. You only need 2 hanks of Twinkle Soft Chunky, some size 17 needles, and 4 hours (as if you have 4 hours to spare). The ruffles at the bottom and thickness of the yarn make this a unique, super warm scarf to wear all winter long. Come in to L & B and pick from an array of Twinkle colors today.

The Christmas project bags are here. We have several prints to choose from including my favorite red and gold with sparkles and candy canes. Come in to pick out your favorite for you whatever Christmas project you are working on.
