Join us to "taste" a fine crush of yarns from Lonesome Stone.

Marv & Linda Dewey of Lonesome Stone Natural Fiber Mill spin from their own alpacas at their Colorado farm and hand dye a harvest of gorgeous imports: alpacas, soft wool, silks & more.

Sample a variety of 14 yarns in intoxicating colors at our knitting table, enjoying the company of other yarn lovers and a few palette-pleasing snacks, too.

Be among the first fiber connoisseurs to order your favorites in single or multiple skeins in the colors of your choice.

Call the Grove today at 619-284-7684 to register for one of our 15 limited seats. Bring an assortment of knitting needles (US sizes #2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13) or crochet hooks (US sizes C thru K) to the tasting, or stock up on extras sold right here at The Grove.
