Support Your Local Yarn & Craft Stores
Due the COVID-19 pandemic, our beloved yarn, fabric and craft stores are being forced to shut their doors, threatening the survival of these small businesses. You can help, though. Through a simple, online purchase your dollars can provide a piece the revenue your local shop needs to stay afloat long enough to open their doors once we’re passed this crisis.
This post is a living list of shops that offer online shopping. Please give them a look and support what you can.
Be well, Community!
