FACILITY

One of our best assets at the Grafton Yarn Store is our classroom and sitting areas. A large table easily accommodates a standard class of six to eight students for our project classes. But when things get "knitty," as they often do on a busy evening of open knitting, students spill into our sitting area which features a couch and several comfy chairs. Whether you are in the shop for a class or stopping by for some one-on-one instruction, we have all the comforts of home.
