Want to Chat about the Tour?

Part of the fun of taking a passenger steam train trip is talking with your fellow passengers. This year, we’re providing two locations where our passengers can get to know each other. We’d love to hear about your favorite things you’ve discovered on the tour and see photos of your current crochet projects. You’re invited to join us daily for virtual cocktails/appetizers and dinner. (We’ll be sharing links to some fabulous recipes!)

About The Black Sheep

The Black Sheep | Alchemy Yarns — Alchemy Yarns

Thanks for giving out store the opportunity to be part of this tour! We’re located in a beautiful Victorian house in central Indiana, and we have over 2,000 square feet of yarn lover’s paradise. We’ve been open almost two years now, and one of the things we’ve really tried to incorporate is to be helpful to all of our customers. Now, that may seem like common sense, but having worked in retail for over 10 years, I can tell you that it isn’t.

The Black Sheep | Reywa Fibers — Reywa Fibers

My mother Karen (my co-owner), learned how to crochet when she was very small, probably around 5, and has made beautiful blankets and throws as long as I can remember. It simply never occurred to us to NOT cater to a wide range of crafters. We only learned how to knit 15 years ago, which for some of our knitters and crocheters is hardly any time at all.

Like most yarn stores, we have a variety of crafters who choose different types of projects and a wide range of yarns. We do our best to provide many crocheted examples, and to stay on trend with the current “it project” making the rounds on Pinterest and Facebook. We firmly believe that you should learn as many skills as you can, so this is a perfect way for us to have a new project, while teaching our students new and exciting crocheted skills. Recently, we’ve noticed quite a surge in interest in Tunisian Crochet, which is actually my favorite kind of crochet. We are meeting this demand by providing classes that focus on expanding skills, and teaching more complex and unique stitches. We hope to offer even more delightful crochet projects in the year to come.
