Page Title

Love.Yarn.Shop. – Your local yarn shop.

This webpage doesn't have a defined page title of an appropriate length.

A webpage title, or title tag, is the text that's displayed on the tab of a browser window and as the headline on a search engine result. It acts as the title for the content of the webpage and should preview and clearly define what the webpage is about.

The ideal title tag is between 60 and 80 characters in length and should contain important, quality keywords relevant to the page.

Page Description

Your local yarn shop.

This webpage doesn't have a defined page description of an appropriate length.

A webpage description, or meta description tag, is the text that's displayed under the headline on a search engine result. Like the page title, the description should provide a little more information about what the contents of the webpage is about.

The ideal page description is between 160 and 180 characters in length and should contain similar, supportive text to the title tag.

H1 Header

Love.Yarn.Shop.

This webpage has a defined H1 header and has only 1 on the page.

An H1 header tag is like the main headline for a webpage. Differing from a page title, the header isn't displayed on the browser tab or search engine result, but it's often the first text that a user sees when visiting a webpage, and should clearly introduce the content that it appears before.

Every webpage should have 1 and only 1 H1 header tag per page, and it should include relevant, quality keywords.

July 9, 2025 0 Let’s Knit Together! Let’s Knit this Weekend! Yarn Tasting–Friday the 13th and World Wide Knit in Public Day–Saturday the 14th!Elizabeth Zimmerman writes, “Let’s make them in May.” Though May has slipped by, we will be discussing “Mittens for Next Winter” from her Knitter’s Almanac at 3:00, just before the Yarn Tasting.  In this delightful chapter, she encourages us to make mittens for Christmas now, “Large projects may lie heavy and warm on the lap, but small things like mittens and socks are easy to carry about outdoors, and can be made surprisingly fast.”  She discusses how our preferences for colors are often associated with experiences:   “For years I loathed purple because it was the color of a droopy and voluminous hand-me-down.”  I look forward to a lively discussion with you and hope to share our color preferences and reasons for them.  We will have a free Berroco mitten pattern for you.  Bring your small project!At 5:00, we will have our 2nd Friday of the Month Yarn Tasting and this time, we will be trying out a yarn—not a new one to many—but one that may replace our beloved Kraemer and Jaggerspun yarns—Berroco.  As you may know, this is a departure from the American-made yarns I have curated over the past 10 years, but once a superwash and superwash/acrylic blend replacement has been found, I am motivated to expand my collection to some of the smaller dye-houses which customers have suggested.Saturday is World Wide Knit in Public Day! Rain or shine, we will be knitting together, sharing stories, and continuing our discussions about color preferences and mitten construction. Bring your project! Bring a snack to share! Should we have a scone bake-off? See you this weekend! June 10, 2025 0 June 2, 2025 0 Summer Is Almost Here! Photo by Francesco Ungaro on Pexels.comIn a few short weeks, we have transitioned from mud and ice to trees filling out with green leaves, birds calling to each other, and bears coming out of hibernation to look for food.We’re still finalizing our summer classes, so be sure to check out our summer class page often and follow us on Facebook. Our first Foundation Classes–Cast On/Bind Off–was a hit. Bill provided a detailed handout with links to videos. The next Foundation Class is swatching and gauging on June 28. These are not project-oriented classes, but you’ll leave with valuable information that you can put to use in your knitting journey. We’d love to have you join us for any or all of our classes. And don’t forget our Square Club starts this summer.We’re looking forward to two event in June: Bethlehem Day on Main on June 7 and International Knit in Public Day on June 14. We are still finalizing plans for Bethlehem Day. As for knitting in public, you can often find us sitting outside knitting, but we welcome having the rest of the world join us! So bring your chair and sit with us for a spell.As always, you’re welcome to come to the shop any time we’re open and sit and knit with us, inside or out.Happy Summer! May 19, 2025 0 Spring Happenings Spring is finally springing here in the North Country and we’re looking forward to getting outside to knit and play in the sunshine, to working in our gardens and walking in the woods. We have some classes and events in May for you to check out. We’re introducing a new series this spring called Foundation Classes where we explore foundational skills for knitters. These are not project-oriented classes, but you’ll leave with valuable information that you can put to use in your knitting journey. We’d love to have you join us for any or all of our classes. Summer classes will be posted soon, including our new series that we are calling Square Club.The big event coming up is Local Yarn Store Day, a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community for members and fans of the fiber world. It’s a great day to hop in to the shop and show your support for small businesses here and everywhere. We will have spinning and weaving demonstrations, locally-made items, and a gift basket raffle. See below.And as always, you’re welcome to come to the shop any time we’re open and sit and knit with us. Happy Spring! April 23, 2025 0 Goodbye, Kraemer! Just one of the many projects I’ve knit with Kraemer’s Perfection.Come wring hands with us over the closing of Kraemer, close on the heels of Jaggerspun, and brainstorm for the future!  Yarn Tasting this Friday,  20% off Kraemer and Jaggerspun–our two old friends. With what will we replace our main acrylic/superwash blends?  What do you wish to see on the shelves?  Be part of the discussion.  5-7 Nibbles and sips.  At 3:00 we’ll be discussing Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Knitter’s Almanac, chapter 3.  Join us!So what is the buzz? The decline of the wool industry has hit Love.Yarn.Shop. hard recently.  In February, Jaggerspun of Maine closed their doors and at the end of this month, Kraemer of Pennsylvania will no longer be producing yarn.  If you know our shelves, you know that is all our acrylic/wool blends and super wash that is sourced from American wool. All others come from other countries. When I started up LYS, I had to make a decision about how I was going to curate my yarn.  I only had 500 square feet and I wanted to put up some parameters for myself, so I chose to concentrate on American wool.  There are a lot of American wools, but the majority (if not all now?) are not super wash, and many people want super wash for clothing and items that they can throw in the washing machine, maybe even throw in the dryer, and not worry about shrinkage.  Many charity projects require it!  The super wash process has been controversial—chlorine-bleached and then plastic-coated wool. You can read up on the super wash process here.Needless to say, we have our homework cut out for us.  Most super wash is produced in Turkey, UK, Peru, China, and India.  Chargeurs (French-owned as name indicates) in Jamestown, North Carolina, is the only remaining super wash facility in the US.  In 2011, Congress mandated that all military clothing be produced in the USA and the military is a major contract with Chargeurs, as well as Kraemer (that part of their facility is also in danger of closure.)We can’t save an industry, but we will keep providing quality yarn to our knitting and crocheting community!  Come join us for discussion or email us your thoughts. April 9, 2025 0 Quirky Knitters “Once upon a time there was an old woman who loved to knit. She lived with her Old Man in the middle of a woods in a curious one-room schoolhouse which was rather untidy, and full of wool.Every so often as she sat knitting by the warm iron stove or under the dappled shade of the black birch, as the season might dictate, she would call out to her husband: ‘Darling, I have unvented something,’ and would then go on to fill his patient ears with enthusiastic but highly unintelligible and esoteric gabble about knitting.At last one day he said, ‘Darling, you ought to write a book.‘Old man,’ she said, ‘I think I will.’ So she did.”Thus begins Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Knitter’s Almanac: Projects for Each Month of the Year, a delightful and quirky book about knitting. We will be having a book discussion the second Friday of each month (before Yarn Tasting) from 3-4:30, starting this February with her first chapter “An Aran Sweater.”I have six copies for $7.95 at the shop, but you can probably pick a copy up at the library or even off your own shelves.

This webpage contains over 500 words of content.

Because search engines crawl and index content, and the more content that a webpage has the greater potential for the page to rank for multiple keywords, webpages should contain a good amount of content with more than 500 words being a good benchmark for a regular page, and 1,000 words for blog posts.

The content should be rich with quality, original content - not containing "fluff" just to fill up the space. Having more content will also likely help the page to rank better for search queries as well as rank for more search queries.
