Fine Print
Class sizes are restricted. There must be a minimum of two and no more
than seven students in each class. If a class does not meet the minimum
enrollment requirement, it will be cancelled and full refunds will be
made.
50% pre-payment is required to secure a space; the rest is due on the first day of class. If a class is full, students who have not paid a deposit will be bumped from the class.
Materials are not included (unless otherwise noted, usually for patterns), but students will receive 10% off of everything in store while enrolled in class.
Student discount applies to everything for sale in the store (even
clearance items), but is only good for the duration of the class. The
only exception are sales events when everything in the store is marked
down; in that case, student will receive discount that is the highest,
but will be unable to combine discounts together. It is the student’s
responsibility to remind the cashier about their discounts; no
retroactive discounts will be given.
Knit Nook yarn must be used in all classes. No exceptions.
