Hello,
I'm Leslye Solomon, owner of Woolstock
Knit Shop. Our store has
enjoyed the past eight years of success. You
may have seen my instructional knitting
videos, read some of my articles in
Knit N Style Magazine, or have been
in my class at the many knitting seminars
like Stitches scheduled around the
country during the past 20 years,
but this is my yarn store.
For you this means
that your satisfaction and your project's
success is most important to me -
no matter where you are. Not
only do we have an unusually large
stock of yarns, books, needles, and
accessories, but when you buy yarn
from us you have the care and concern
from a large staff of experts. You
may be far away, but our goal is that
your project is a pleasant and successful
experience.

Meet our teaching staff...
Leslye Solomon has
been teaching both hand and machine
knitting for over 20 years throughout
the U.S. She has been teaching to
"sold-out" classes at every
Stitches seminar since it
began almost 16 years ago. Leslye
is an accomplished author and has
produced many instructional videos
for hand and machine knitters, including
The Hand Knitter's Guide to Sweater
Finishing, The Hand Knitter's Guide
to Buttonholes & Bands, and The
Machine Knitter's Uh Oh Video. Her
newest DVD, The Absolute Best Way
to Learn How to Knit features her
exclusive techniques to learn the
method of Continental knitting. Her
unique, fun teaching methods have
helped thousands of people to become
more confident, skilled knitters.
Leslye currently writes a regular
column for Knit 'N Style magazine,
and recently released her own line
of knitting patterns.
Mara Lloyd, a
Stitches teacher, an experienced
knitter & crocheter, and a Fine
Arts graduate has an uplifiting sense
of humor and amazing knitting skills.
Each one of her classes deliver an
exciting information-filled experience.
Her most popular classes include Entrelac
and Sock Making (on circulars, double-points,
or magic loop). You’ll be an
expert after one of her classes.
Phyllis Towns, a
Stitches teacher, is one
of the nicest people you’ll
ever meet. She imparts a wealth of
information to her students, gleaned
from many years of knitting and teaching
experience.
Vicky Harvey brings
an incredible attention to detail
to her classes. Her expertise lies
in complicated pattern interpretation,
including lace and fine crochet. Whether
crochet or knitting, her classes are
packed with technical information
way beyond your expectations.

We want
to offer free technical help with
purchase of yarn. Sometimes you
will have difficulty dicifering your pattern,
need help with your gauge, or just suspect
that there is a problem with what a knitting
pattern is telling you to do. We
would like you to know that our staff of
experienced and patient knitters and teachers
are interested in helping you to solve your
problems inperson or by phone.
Our help line is available for those who
have purchased yarn from us. We
won't leave you "stranded!"
If you live in the Baltimore/Washington/Southern
Pennsylvania area, visit us. Call
us and we will give you better directions
than a regular map, or click the contact
us link. We will look forward
to your arrival.
Take a look at our online newsletter. We
have a wonderful selection of classes. Join
us when we have special guests like the
founders of Koigu Yarns. Our regular teachers,
including myself, will advance your knitting
and crochet knowledge to your delight. If
there are no classes that you want to take,
just visit us, grab a chair and stay a while. Out
of the heat of summer or the cold of winter,
the community of friends that can collect
around our table makes you know knitting
is truly more than just making scarves or
sweaters.

Classes,
Classes, Classes!

new Fall/Winter class list is available by

The
Original Blockers Kit
 Don't
use a million pins when you block! Just insert
these stainless steel, rust-proof blocking
wires along the edge of your unfinished pieces.
The Blockers stop the curling so you can easily
pin and steam to your desired measurement.
Blockers act as a handle for every edge of
your knitted piece. No longer will you need
to pin every inch unsatisfactorily "scalloping"
the edge of your knitted piece. Try our Blockers
kit and you'll wonder how you ever lived without
them.
