Show Us the Yarn!!!
Local yarn shops (LYS) can only offer so many brands and types of yarn - unfortunately, we just don’t have enough space for all the lovelies from every dyer or maker. So, when a LYS gets a chance to see more yarn from, say, an indie dyer, we all get really, really excited. We have a phrase for this excitement: TRUNK SHOW!!!! Besides seeing more of the dyer’s yarn, y'all get to talk to them about their inspirations, their color ideas, and their process. Their excitement is contagious and y'all get to see more colors than we can normally carry…what’s not to love? Our next trunk show is Kristen from Bad Frog Yarn. This San Antonio dyer is relatively new to the market and she’s been adding a bunch of fun colors to her line. Come see her on Saturday, February 10, 2024, 11a-4p.
We can't forget how important y'all are to trunk shows, so we want to share our gratitude. Every time you attend a trunk show, you’re supporting small business owners. Your enthusiasm and purchases give the dyers inspiration to keep creating. We’re so proud of Texas dyers and have witnessed many of them blossom into notable names in the US yarn community. Y'all have been a huge part of their success and the dyers and the Yarnivore crew are thankful for your support.
