We are pleased to offer knitters the chance to knit some Yarmouth history this winter. We have reproduced patterns for two original winter accessories, an ear-warming headband and a Fair Isle watch cap, that were crafted for North Yarmouth Academy students by a local knitter during the 1950s and later. Stop by the History Center or click below to get your copies of these two free patterns. The History Center will also host knitting circles from 1:00-3:00 pm on December 12, January 16, and February 13. These are free and open to all knitters. Work on one of our patterns or bring your own project and enjoy the company of fellow knitters.
