The store is hoping to add wool yarn from local producers soon, she said. The store also is offering knitting notions and crochet hooks.<\/p>\n<p>Shop staffers also are offering a range of classes for quilters and knitters of all skill levels, Childress said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople like to learn,\u201d Worthington said. \u201cWith more learning opportunities, they will branch out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To find out more information, go to www.cortezquiltcompany.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worthington, left, and Karen Childress, right, show the new selection of yarns at Cortez Quilt Co.
