Starting June 2nd, be sure to stop by the shop for Tuesday Specials!
Stretch your summer dollar with our random savings. Every Tuesday, one yarn will be discounted by 15%! But it’s a secret, so you have to come in to see what’s on sale. We can’t wait to see you!
We wish to honor all of those who serve, have served, or have given their lives so the rest of us may be free. We salute you.
A few ways to honor them with yarn:
For Memorial Day, that is! We know that a lot of you will have the day off, and what better way to celebrate the day than with yarn and stitching? We will be open normal business hours from 10:00am – 5:30pm. Come in and see us!
As many of you may know, the annual Pear Blossom Parade is tomorrow! Court street will be closed from McAndrews on down. But don’t panic! There is an alternate route to the shop. Simply take a left on Beatty St. and then a right at the alley way between the 700 and 600 blocks. The map below shows where the alley way is located.
If you need any help, simply call the shop at 541-734-8800 and we’ll be happy to give you further directions.
We’d like to fill you in on a couple of corrections from our most recent newsletter.

There has been another Joe sighting reported! MYSS Owner, Sonja Tramontana, spotted Joe and Jonelle from SWTC at Stitches West.
She says, “Get ready, Medford! Joe is on the way with lots of goodies in his sleigh and knitted garments you’ll want to make.”
He will be in Medford, Oregon at Middleford Yarn & Stitchery Shoppe, on March 7th @ 3pm. Don’t miss it!

A fun little excerpt from our recent newsletter.
1. Never stop in the middle of a row.
2. You must make a gauge swatch, unless you don’t care about giving the garment to someone else. The knitting fates never miss the chance to smite the smug.
3. Never leave your knitting out alone in the presence of animals or small children. Many hours of knitting can be undone in a matter of seconds.
4. Always buy an extra ball of yarn. Patterns never seem to give you the right yardage, no matter how hard they try.
5. Remember that children have small bodies and big heads. Bind off loosely!
6. Mohair is beautiful to knit with, but ugly to rip. Read your directions carefully!
7. No matter how excited you are about a finished project, don’t wake your spouse in the middle of the night to show it off. They won’t be nearly as excited as you are.
