Registration is open for Fall/Winter Classes

 As we move into fall, we've expanded our class offerings. While we continue to offer beginner knitting, crochet and needlepoint, we've added intermediate-level classes and project-specific and technique courses.

Want to learn to knit two-color brioche? How about crocheting a fabulous Pixel scarf or stitching a needlepoint sampler with multiple elegant patterns and threads? Do you wonder about the best way to knit those small-circumference cuffs or socks in the round? We have a class on three techniques you can use. Classes also include Bargello needlepoint technique, crocheting granny squares, and mosaic knitting - it's easier than it looks!

Classes will be held Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00, Saturday afternoons from 12:00-2:00 and 2:30-4:30 and Sundays 1:00-3:00 starting Sept 9th, 2021.  

The cost of materials are included in most classes; for others you may bring your own or purchase them at 20% discount for the class.
 
Please call us at 212.360.7266 for details or click this link to open our fall/winter classes info packet that covers class descriptions, schedules and Covid protocols.

Annie and Co friends! The NYC Yarn Crawl  is here and while things will be a little different this year, we are so excited that it's happening! 
Here's the low-down:
Since the yarn crawl is 9 days this year (Oct. 3-11) and we have limits on the number of customers we can allow in at a time(5), our sale will change every single day! As always, this bins will be full and the discounts will be deep. 
The schedule is-
Sat.(10/3): Mayu, Naturalia, Dromedary, Lux Adorna Sport, Lang Lino
Sun.(10/4): Stargazer Brushed, Drift, Big Softy, Lux Adorna DK, Kid Paillettes
Mon.(10/5): Taiyo Sock, Holika, Sylph, Cotton Classic

There will be other surprise sales as well and the Raffles and Door Prizes hosted by the crawl. 
The biggest change to the way our crawl will happen this year is the direction of the store. We're flipping it! We will be having customers entering through our back door and exiting the front door. Because of this switch we are able to have a little "yard sale" outside while customers wait to enter the store! 
We will also be live on our Instagram(@annieandco.nyc) everyday at 1pm to give our online folks a chance to see what's happening at the store.
Some things about the crawl haven't changed this year:
-All Sales are Final
-We will not be winding yarn but will happy to do so at a later time if you'd like to bring it back
-There will be no table help
Store Hours:
Sunday 12-5pm
Monday-Friday 10-5pm
Saturday 11-5pm
Our front door COVID procedures will still be in effect
-Name/Phone Number for tracing 
-Temperature taken(contact-less)
-Hand Sanitizer
-Gloves
-SOCIAL DISTANCING
We hope you to see you all this week!
