All the fiber news!

It's time to Crawl y'all!
This year's Hill Country yarn crawl (aka the Best Little Yarn Crawl in Texas) starts on Friday, October 8 and ends on Sunday, October 17! This year, we're doing things a little differently - there are no passports and no purchase required to join in the fun! Stores will have a featured yarn (15% off) and a limited supply of souvenir project bags (free with a purchase of $75 or more, get em while we got em!). Stores will also have trunks shows and the new fall yarns. For more information on participating stores, check out The Best Little Yarn Crawl in Texas. On this website, there are links to the 2021 store guide and each of the stores. Also different this year? Store hours & safety requirements will vary by store; be sure to check out the details in the store guide before you hit the road!
Yarnivore will host Chaos Fiber Co. Friday-Sunday, October 8-10th. Come see Becky's (the artist behind all the Chaos ;) lovely hand-dyed yarns, model garments and project bags. She always has something new to inspire us!
Looking for the newest fall yarns?
How about Fibra Natura's Cobblestone, Berroco's Dulce, Euro Yarns' Tenderfoot, and Jody Long's Alba? We've also received new fall colors of the very popular Sesame (Berroco) and Malabrigo Sock.
Out of concern for everyone's health, we need y'all to mask up while in the shop. Many in the fiber community are immune compromised and we need your help. Hopefully, this surge ends soon!
