Join us for a cozy, uplifting evening with Lisa Long, owner of Old Orcutt Yarnery, as we explore the therapeutic and community-building magic of handcraft.
In a world that moves quickly, knitting and crocheting invite us to slow down — stitch by stitch — reconnecting with creativity, focus, and calm. Lisa will share how handcraft traditions offer not only beautiful finished pieces, but measurable benefits for mental wellness, stress reduction, and cognitive health.
During this engaging conversation, Lisa will discuss:
🧠 The therapeutic benefits of knitting, crocheting, and fiber arts
🧶 How repetitive handcraft supports mindfulness and emotional regulation
🧵 The wide assortment of classes offered at Old Orcutt Yarnery — from beginner basics to advanced techniques
💬 “Help Desk” hours for troubleshooting projects and building confidence
🎉 Annual events and gatherings that foster community connection
🎁 Why a gift card for handcraft classes might be the most thoughtful gift you can give!
Old Orcutt Yarnery is more than a shop — it’s a welcoming creative hub where beginners and seasoned makers gather, learn, laugh, and build lasting friendships.
Whether you’ve never held a knitting needle or you’ve been crocheting for decades, this evening promises warmth, inspiration, and perhaps the spark to begin your next handmade project.
Come sip, connect, and discover why handcraft is truly good for the soul.
