Deinna Dalton is a fiber enthusiast who enjoys knitting, embroidery, and quilting. She grew up stitching alongside her grandmothers and mother and continues to be inspired by their love of embroidery, bobbin-lace and quilting. Deinna draws inspiration from simple shapes, textures, and colors in nature, especially those around their farm in southern Georgia.  She has designed this beginner-friendly class to replace any fears you may have about learning embroidery with fun!

Full priced items other than yarn may be exchanged for shop credit if Fuzzy Goat receives the item within 2 weeks of when you received the item. Curated boxes are not eligible for returns  

To be eligible for an exchange, there must be proof of purchase, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it.

We don’t have free shipping thresholds, though there are certain times of the year will do a promo for free shipping. As a small indie shop, we price shipping as close to actual cost as possible so we can continue supporting indie dyers, paying designers fairly, and offering personal help in-store and online. It’s one of the ways we keep Fuzzy Goat sustainable and able to serve our community long-term. We truly appreciate your support.

We make every effort to reuse boxes, bubble wrap, and other stuffing for shipping whenever possible. We do focus on our foot-print and where our lovely vendors are located. We are constantly on the hunt for more eco-friendly, cost-efficient options that also keep your precious yarn safe and dry.
