This revamping of our website is huge news for us. We have moved it to a “blog format” which means we can do most of the updates, changes, etc. in house. It also means, for the first time, you will be able to register for classes on-line. As we go along, we will be adding on-line shopping a bit at a time. You can keep up-to-date with the changes via our newsletter.

Publishing
A couple years ago, we branched out into the wholesale realm with our knitting patterns, My Little Knitting Book and Knitting Boot Camp curriculum. Sales have been steady. Watch this space for announcement of the release of more than a dozen brand-new patterns. Click here to see current offerings.
New Horizons
We are venturing into a new area of fiber crafts for us: card weaving and hardanger. Classes for both of these are scheduled to start in March. Sometimes it is a good thing to mix things up a bit! What do these seemingly dissimilar crafts have in common? They are both fairly inexpensive to begin, they are portable, and they are a nice change of pace. Why try something new? For me, it is like calisthetics for the brain. Learning something new gives me a fresh eye for my current design projects.
Louet's first certified dealers.
Certified
We are pleased to be a Certified Louet Dealer, one of only a handful in the country. To achieve this honor, we participated in a working retreat last spring at Jane Stafford’s studio on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. Jane taught us the ins-and-outs of each of the looms. She also demonstrated her common-sense warping method – the method we have adopted as standard at Heritage. Click here to view Jane’s warping video (scroll down a bit).
