You’ll work with soft, premium yarn that is machine washable and designed not to shrink or shed.
We’re offering three blanket sizes:
Mini (4 skeins | 24” x 24”) – perfect for an infant or toddler blanket
Throw (6 skeins | 30” x 50”) – ideal for a cozy throw
Standard (8 skeins | 45” x 60”) – a full-size blanket for ultimate comfort
Each kit includes everything you need to complete your project: premium yarn, scissors, tape measure, lighter, and written instructions. If you’d like to combine more than one color in your blanket, please call the store to make arrangements.
You are welcome to call the store at 701-929-5643 to purchase a ticket or checkout directly through the ticket link.———–Refund Policy: Please email ivyroom@sheywest.com if you have a scheduling conflict – tickets are non-refundable 48 hours before the event, but we will use your registration as a credit for future workshops. 24 hours prior to the event, no refunds or credits will be given.
