3^rd Annual Eastern Shore Yarn Crab Crawl This September

September 1-30, 10 yarn stores in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia will host the 3^rd Annual Eastern Shore Yarn Crab Crawl. The 10 women owned businesses have worked together to create a fun event for fiber fanatics. Crocheters, knitters, spinners, weavers and fiber artists look forward each year to participating in this self-guided, self-paced tour.

Local shop owners realized the specialized needs of their customers. Since each yarn shop on the Eastern Shore has something unique, the owners organized a yarn crawl. Participants visit the shops and are able to see the variety of products available, including and not limited to Blue Heron, Cascade, Plymouth, and Kolllage yarns.

Cost to customers to participate: $15.00 Register at any of the shops on the list. The registration fee includes a passport and tote bag. The tote bag is the participant’s ticket to the yarn crawl and entitles them to a 20% discount on select items. The passport is the guide to the shops. Participants can have their passport stamped and at the end of the yarn crawl can turn it in as an entry to a drawing for a grand prize.
