If this is somehow the only local yarn shop newsletter you subscribe to and didn’t already know: the biggest crafting event of the summer is finally here! Chicago Yarn Crawl runs from July 25 to August 2, and we’ve got some great stuff on offer:

• The world-famous one-of-a-kind Chicago Yarn Crawl tote bag!

• Store-exclusive free pattern and prize raffle!

• Your choice of three different Dropped Stitch pinback buttons! (free!)

• And of course, 10% off all yarn in the store! We’ve made sure we have plenty in stock, so this is a great time to stock up for fall and winter projects!

New merch

While you’re here for Yarn Crawl, why not pick up a brand new baseball cap featuring our store mascot, Hank? Wear it to the Cubs game to let people know which team you’re really on!

New article

We just showed up in a Chicago Sun-Times article about those stupid tariffs! We’ve actually paid about double what it says in the article, the interview I did was a while ago. At least our yarn looks great!

New human

If anything in this newsletter is misspelled or doesn’t make sense, it’s because your humble correspondent has a brand new baby in the house!!!! and doesn’t remember what a full night of sleep feels like. His name is Felix and he already has a full closet of six-month-old size knitwear for this coming winter. One day he will inherit my yarn store mailing list. Wish us luck!
