There’s Still Time!

Have you started yarn crawling yet? If not, there’s still time! You have until Saturday, August 10th to join in the fun.

The purpose of the Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl is to get knitters up and down Hwy 287 acquainted with the yarn shops in our area. They each have a different personality and stock items unique to each shop. ‘Crawlers’ as they are fondly called, have an opportunity to support local yarn shops and find out what’s available close by.
