Feed Your Creativity
Would you like to enhance your knitting skills?
Kollage Yarns has introduced the Feed Your Creativity Program designed to take your knitting to the next level.  If you can knit and purl, increase, decrease, and perhaps have tried ribbing and other stitch patterns, you are an Advanced Beginner and are ready to try double-pointed and knitting in the round, cables and fair-isle.
 
If you are an Intermediate Knitter, use your skills to experiment with a variety of fibers such as milk, cotton, corn, soy and angora/silk.
 
Each month a new kit complete with yarn & pattern will be available. A limited number of kits is shipped each month in assorted colors.  Sign up today for Feed Your Creativity email alerts to get advance notice of kit availability and free tips on knitting the patterns
