This Week at Story & Skein 〰️

We just celebrated our first month! Coming back into the story we are starting on Chapter

Join the Adventure • Monday, August 3

We've just finished Chapter 17 of The Name of the Wind, and the story is only getting better.

Whether you've been with us since opening night or you're just discovering Story & Skein, we'd love to have you join us on Monday, August 3, from 5:00–8:00 PM.

If you'd like to catch up before then, it's easy:

Pick up a copy of The Name of the Wind in the shop or online

Grab the audiobook and listen along

Or simply come anyway—we're always happy to welcome new faces.

Story & Skein is about more than just the book. It's an evening to slow down, knit, crochet, sip something delicious, and experience a great story together in the company of fellow fiber lovers.

Can't make it this week? Join our newsletter below and we'll keep you updated on our current chapter, upcoming gatherings, special themed evenings, and everything happening at Story & Skein so you can jump into the adventure whenever you're ready.

Come for the Story. Stay for the Community.

Story & Skein is a place to slow down.

Each Monday evening we gather together with our knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, stitching, drawing, or whatever quiet project we’re working on. Then we settle in and let a story unfold one chapter at a time.

This isn’t a book club.

There’s no homework.
No pressure.
No expectation that you’ll be here every week.

Simply come when life gives you room to breathe.

Bring your project.
Bring a friend.
Or simply pull up a chair and listen.

What to Expect

We’ll read one or two chapters together, taking breaks to stretch, refill drinks, admire projects, browse the shop, and continue conversations before returning to the story.

Come As Often As You’d Like

Join us weekly.

Join us once a month.

Jump in halfway through.

You’ll always have a seat waiting.

Our Current Journey

The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss

Of all the books I could have chosen to begin Story & Skein, this one was never really in question.

There was a period in my life when I came very close to walking away from music. This book reminded me why art matters, why stories matter, and why it’s worth holding onto the parts of ourselves we love most.

It is filled with music, friendship, humor, beauty, wonder, and hope. More than anything, it’s about losing your way… and finding it again.

In many ways, Story & Skein exists because of this book.

Sharing it with all of you feels like sharing something deeply personal.

And that feels like the perfect place for our journey to begin.
