Is the class you are looking for not available or full?

If there isn’t space in a class, please call the shop to be added to the wait list and we’ll let you know when we add another class. If there is a technique you would like to learn or a project on which you would like to take a class, let us know.  We would love to hear your suggestions.  You can mention it when you’re in the shop or call us at 608-848-2755.

The Sow’s Ear Class Policy

Payment is due at the time of sign up. Many of our classes fill up quickly. To guarantee a space please register as soon as possible.  You can register online on our website, in person at the store, or over the phone. We consider your registration a commitment to take the class. We order supplies and make a commitment to the teacher based upon your registration.

Please be sure you can attend the first session before you sign up for a class. The first class session provides the foundation of skills for the entire class. Classes start promptly, so be sure to have all materials ready to go. Only registered students are permitted in the classroom during instruction.

Students under 18 are welcome to sign up for our kids’ classes. All other classes are for adults, though individual instructors may occasionally accept younger students at their discretion. Please get permission from the instructor before placing a minor in an adult class.

Get a 10% discount on yarn purchased for any of our classes! Just let us know what class it’s for when you check out.

Cancellation policy

If you cancel your registration a week or more ahead of time, you can receive a full refund or transfer to another class. 

If you cancel less than a week but more than 48 hours ahead of time, you may transfer to another class or receive store credit towards another class (to be used within 1 year). 

If you cancel less than 48 hours ahead of time, the cost of the class is neither refundable nor transferable. 

If we cancel a class for any reason, you may choose to receive a full refund, store credit, or transfer to another class.
