Located on the western edge of Lakewood, Colorado, and nestled up against the Golden foothills, The Recycled Lamb has been serving the needs of Denver-area knitters, weavers, crocheters, spinners and other fiber artists for over 25 years.
We carry an extensive selection of yarn and fiber, equipment, books, and patterns, and our friendly, knowledgeable staff has earned the shop the nickname, "Your Warm and Fuzzy Fiber Shop!"

- Monday: Do the Twist! We'll learn to spin yarn and make ropes, and you'll get to go home with your very own jump rope.
- Tuesday: Kool Kolors Did you know you can dye with Kool-aid? Today we'll be dying yarn (some you spun on Monday!) and wool in fun colors (see supply list) for you to use later in the week. Wear old clothes!
- Wednesday: Knit a Knack Make something great with knitting needles for yourself or a friend with your own hand-dyed yarn!
- Thursday: Warped and Ready! Learn to weave on a rigid heddle and an Inkle loom! Take home a bag or headband, let your imagination be your guide.
- Friday: Fiber Finale Finish up any projects and practice any skills you've learned this week! We'll have awards and lots more fun today!
- Supply list: Each day bring a snack and drink. Please bring as many different colors of Kool-Aid, unsweetened, as you can, plus an apron or old shirt, for Kool Kolors day on Tuesday. All other supplies will be included!
