Overview
On July 19th, 2006, without a sign hanging on my post, I opened Seed Stitch Fine Yarn. My vision was to create a yarn store that had the feeling of a fine designer boutique with a warm friendly environment where people of all ages felt comfortable expressing their creativity. From that very first day SSFY has welcomed the knitting and crocheting community with open arms and in return, they have done the same.
SSFY is brimming with a large range of color hues in a variety of fibers. You will find cotton, extra fine and fine merino, cashmere, bamboo, silk, linen, alpaca and more in a range of weights, gauges and prices. To compliment our fibers, we have a library of patterns and books to assist you in finding a design that is perfect for your project.
Along with yarn and accessories, SSFY hosts special events. On August 11th, accomplished novelist Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle, will be our guest for book signing and a evening lecture. August 13th-Sept 30th, Tatyana Yaniskevsky will be presenting her Garden of Eden, a Knitted Paradise, gallery show at SSFY. To view Tatyana's work visit her web-site at www.knitplants.com It is amazing. In September, I am off to Tuscany with 15 other knitters for a 10 day excursion hosted by Lily Chin and me.

May 18th,19th,& 20th, 2008 Lily will return for her spring workshop weekend at SSFY and we will be in Italy again in September '08, but this time we will be on the seaside. The end of Feb, 2009, we are off to the southern Caribbean with Louisa Harding for a 10 day cruise. I am sure I will fill the rest of our calender with many more exciting events between now and then!
Many of our handcraft friends from out of state have been encouraging us to think about selling our fibers on line. So, to better serve you, we will be available for internet sales starting this fall. In order to accommodate the retail store, our growing education programs and special workshops, along with our internet business, we have moved street to 21 Front Street in historic Salem, Massachusetts.
I invite you to come share my love and enthusiasm for knitting and crocheting by joining me at Seed Stitch Fine Yarn in Salem, MA on historic Front Street. By submitting your e-mail address to mail@seed-stitch.com you will be the first to hear about upcoming classes, events and sales.
Wishing you many happy days of stitching,
Victoria L. Berkwits
