Weave with the Cricket

Ever been curious about weaving? We're hearing more and more of our customers expressing interest in it. With that in mind, we'd like to introduce you to the Schacht Cricket Loom.

Now in stock!

Schacht calls the Cricket "compact, capable, and cute," and we certainly agree! Its small size makes it convenient to set up just about anywhere. The Cricket is a great beginner loom, but the 15" weaving width also gives you a lot of flexibility to make more than just skinny scarves and belts. You can certainly make those on this loom, of course, but also think about wide scarves, placemats, table runners, narrow shawls, etc.

More good news: weaving doesn't require nearly as much yarn as knitting or crocheting, so it's a great way to use up leftover yarn. It's also fast--you can make a scarf in just a few hours! And if you need help getting started, just book a lesson with us and we'll be happy to assist you.

Genevieve got a lesson from Carrie on setting up her new Cricket loom yesterday.

The 15" Cricket Loom comes in a convenient carrying box and includes thorough instructions and yarn for a first project. Retail price: $174.

It's kitten season!

Sheepish is thrilled to be partnering with Dekalb County Animal Services again this year, fostering kittens here in the shop. In 2013 we helped 16 kitties find their forever homes. Let's see if we can beat that number this year!

We're off to a great start so far. These three brothers were with us for only a few days before they were all claimed. They all went to their permanent homes last week.

Bye, guys!

This week we welcomed Giselle, Grace, and Gusto. These three siblings look so much alike, we honestly can't tell them apart (well, Gusto's the only boy, so we can tell which one he is when we look at the back end). :)

These babies are about six weeks old and as you can see, they all love attention. They're playful and energetic, and have great appetites. Gusto seems to be the most snuggly of the bunch. He's a bit mellower than his sisters.

Stop by and meet these adorable kittens! They're not big enough to go to their forever homes yet, but you can apply to pre-adopt them. The $75 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip and combo test. For more info about adoption, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call DCAS at 404-294-2165.
