Yarn Swap
How does it work? Bring in any yarns from your stash that you haven't been able to find a use for, and trade them in for something new!
Here are some ground rules:
  • Only bring yarn you are absolutely ready to part with.
  • Because everyone will be bringing yarn with varying price points, it's best not to come with a specific monetary value in mind that you're looking to recoup
  • Both Annie and Co and non-Annie and Co yarns are welcome
  • Yarn must still have a label accompanying it (indicating fiber content, yardage, etc.)
  • You must bring something to contribute in order to participate - no coming in just to graze the pile for free
 Yarns that aren't chosen at the end of the swap will be donated.

September 27-29
NYC Yarn Crawl

It's back and better than ever!
We will be sending out a more in-depth email with details about the weekend deals so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for it. It's going to be a great one so make sure your calendar is marked!
