 LEARN TO SPIN YARN USING A DROP SPINDLE with Cat Lee, Sunday, June 29, 2008 1-4pm, $35.00. Have you ever wanted to spin you own yarn or see how to do it? People who spin say its very relaxing, in a zen sort of way. Here is an easy and portable way to give it a try. Cat is an accomplished spinner and a very patient instructor. She will also be bringing a spinning wheel to the class to give a demonstration. The techniques used to make yarn with a drop spindle are similar to those used with a spinning wheel. There will be a $15.00 materials fee for the drop spindle and roving .
 Learn to Handpaint Yarn, Cat Lee, Saturday, July 12, 1-4pm, $35.00. Handpainted yarns give any project an added dimension because of their beauty. These yarns are more expensive due to the time, labor and artistry involved in producing them. Here's your opportunity to learn how to handpaint your own fibers using a safe, nontoxic and permanent dye. Fine Points has a variety of undyed fibers in 100 yard hanks especially for this class. Bring your fiber, rubber gloves, and an apron or old shirt and let's get creative!!(There will be a $5.00 additional materials fee payable to Cat)
BEGINNING KNITTING with Susan McNamara, Sunday, July 13, 2008, 1-4 pm, $35.00. This Beginning Knitting class is for those who have never knit or for those who need a refresher. You will be taught the basics and have you will be knitting in no time. Knitting is a wonderful creative hobby and the yarns and fibers have never been more gorgeous.How impressed would your family be if they all received handknitted scarve, hats, etc this year? Another benefit is meeting other creative people. Bring yarn and knitting needles you have or come to class early and Susan will help you select your supplies.

We are the Comforters: those who give comfort; long narrow knitted neck scarves; warm bedcovers. So many children are in need of comfort.
Last Year Fine Points sponsored We are the Comforters. Our goal was to deliver as many knitted or crocheted blankets as we can for the foster children under the supervision of Bellefaire JCB. We received this from Bellefaire JCB:
To all the generous donators of knitted blankets:
"Thank you so much for your generosity in knitting 6 blankets for the 4th Annual Holiday Wish List for kids (and) the additional 12 blankets that you knitted throughout the year. You have helped make our clients feel very special. Your 'tzedakah' is truly appreciated and we look forward to your participation again next year!"
Debbie Cowan, Associate Executive Director of Bellefaire JCB
We are happy to have helped, and are starting again.
You can help by making a blanket of washable yarn and bringing it to the shop.
- Blankets for infants thru 4 years of age should be approximately 36" x 36" and should not be of too loose a weave.
- Blankets for children ages 5--10 should be approximately 36" x 48".
- Blankets for youth ages 11-18 should be approximately 48" x 60".
No blankets should have fringe. Garter stitch is fine. Patterns are fine.
Please join us in this opportunity to share warmth with others.
