Hill Country Weavers is Closing - Thanks for the Memories!

Due to incredible response to our closing sale that started Friday, August 1, we no longer have sufficient inventory to support online orders.

Suzanne, as she was building HCW over the past 45 years, strived to provide the very best in services and selections to customer online as well as in the store. She believed that HCW could be "your local yarn store" wherever you lived. She was proud and appreciative of the large following HCW enjoyed. We are grateful for your loyalty and support.

Suzanne coined this phrase and it's one she lived and encouraged others to as well -

"All you Knit is Love."

    You'll score a fashion victory when you arrive at the game sporting your favorite University of Texas team mascot in a beautiful cabled design that runs the length of this poncho. The pattern knits up quickly, as the cable only twists every tenth row. Any 30 stitch cable design can be substituted for the designated cable chart if you wish to knit more than one!
