Please pay careful attention to the skill level for each class. It's really frustrating for everyone if students take a class that isn't appropriate for their knitting/crocheting ability.

Confused as to your knitting/crocheting level? Beneath each class title we have listed the appropriate level needed to sign up for the class. Hopefully, this will assist you when registering for classes. It is always best to expand your knowledge, taking classes in order of sequence, using the knitting/crocheting levels as a guide. The Capital Yarn staff will be happy to assist you in deciding which level of knitting/crocheting classes you are ready to join.
