cowgirlblues™ Yarn Tasting at The Blue Ewe

Be part of knitting history at The Blue Ewe as we host the very first cowgirlblues Yarn Tasting ever offered anywhere! This exclusive event is your opportunity to experience the incredible range of South African yarns that have made cowgirlblues a favorite among fiber artists around the world.

Each participant will receive a beautifully packaged Yarn Tasting presentation box featuring generous samples of all eight featured yarns, an informational card for each yarn with fiber details and inspiration, an exclusive cowgirlblues scrap yarn project bag, and everything you'll need to follow along as we explore each base together.

We'll discuss the unique qualities, construction, fiber content, and ideal uses for every yarn while sharing pattern ideas, favorite projects, and available colorways. You're encouraged to cast on and knit with your samples as we socialize, giving you a true hands-on feel for how each yarn behaves on the needles.
