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."

    This seaming technique in this cowl can be used to finish any width or sett of fabric, and it is a perfect way to get a wonderful woven item out of a precious yarn with limited yardage. Worked in a bulky yarn, it is a fast and luxurious project perfect as a gift to yourself or a friend!
