Yarn Tasting Kickoff 2020

Come celebrate with us as we kick off another great year at The Lamb’s Loom! Your generosity over the last year is what encourages us all in the mission efforts here. In 2018 we surpassed the donations received by over 1000, so that means over 3200 handmade knitted & crocheted items were given to those in need in 2018! We do want to extend a special thank you to everyone who comes in and adds so many lovely items to the donations chest! You are a blessing to soooo many!!!!

We are excited to see what this year holds and grateful for your participation in what is ahead. Our 2020 kickoff is our Sixth Annual Yarn Tasting when we will announce the final donation chest count of 2019. If you’ve never been to our Yarn Tasting, you really should join us on Saturday, January 11th! Every year promises new yarns to try, fantastic people to share with, classes to sign up for and yummy food. And let’s not forget the door prizes and drawings!

This year’s Yarn Tasting will be held on Saturday, January 11th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so mark your calendar!

We do hope you’ll come visit and hear a few stories of the encouragement these gifts have been to so many around the world and become a PEG! Pray, Encourage, Give….Remember, The Lamb’s Loom is not just a yarn shop, it’s a ministry and a mindset.

The Lamb’s Loom is located at 1102 Tamarack in McAllen. We are open Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional parking is available in the rear via Upas Ave. You can also find us on FaceBook, Instagram or our website: www.thelambsloom.com

Happy 2020 to you all...

May your knots be few, your purls be many and your stitches continue to be blessed to share God's love throughout the world!

Perfect Start!

WHAT FUN....and a PERFECT start to the New Year!!!

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Second Annual Yarn Tasting. LOTS of fun and new faces, too! We also had lots of people signing up for all the upcoming classes and workshops. You can see them on our FaceBook page, or here on the blog, too: Lamb's Loom Class Listing If you missed out on the sign up, just send an email, call or come by and we will get you added in. The ColorWork on the Long Loom class is filled up, so keep an eye out for another one soon!

We were also so very honored to have our new friend Gail White join us for the day! She will be offering several weaving, drop spindle and dye classes coming up. The first is a Loom Workshop. We already have two workshops filled up and working on dates for others!!! Let us know what you'd like to join in on, as class size is limited.

Special thank you to everyone who came and put so many lovely items in the donations chest! You are a blessing to soooo many!!!!

And apparently there was an "un-knotting party" in the front room! Who knew?

We hope you didn't miss Dianna with her new stock of DG Crazed Yarns...AND Alys' lovely scarf that she contributed for the day!

Well, in the middle of yarns and swifting and snacking, we hope you all had as much fun as we did!

Happy 2016 to you all...

May your knots be few, your purls be many and your stitches continue to be blessed to share God's love throughout the world!

Yarn Tasting Fun!

Happily we can say that we only had one complaint during the whole day! When one of the ladies was given her First Annual Yarn Tasting Menu, she said, "Well, this had better happen more than once a year!" And we all agree!!!! So, the first good news is this WILL happen again!

Thank you to everyone who joined The Flock at The Lamb's Loom and came to give us such wonderful feedback and input! We have all your notes and are working to get your favourites in the shop. Your encouragement in this ministry is just fantastic!

Here are a few fun pics from the morning....
