Knitting circles were once a popular place to exchange rumors about the area's handsomest fireman, which of neighboring towns' mayors were secretly left-handed, and the fate of the Crumb brothers. Get your finger on the pulse and some yarn with today's Groupon at The Yarne Source, located just north of Henrietta. Choose between the following options:
- For $80, you get a two-hour Parisian tote-knitting class, including yarn and an instructional booklet (up to a $160 value).
- For $10, you get $20 worth of yarn.
The Yarne Source endows the needling masses with supplies and seminars to further talents from amateur to expert. The shop peddles a fibrous flock of vibrantly colored threads and intricate Fair Isle designs from sources such as Classic Elite ($8.95–$9.25) and Cascade ($10–$14.95).
