Bay Area Yarn Crawl

The Bay Area Yarn Crawl spans 24 shops across the San Francisco Bay Area, running over a 10-day window that gives you time to explore at your own pace. A bingo-style passport system ties it together: collect stamps at each shop to fill your bingo card for prize drawings, or hit all 24 locations for a shot at the grand prize basket. Individual shops host their own events during the crawl, including trunk shows, designer meet-and-greets, and games, so each stop has something going on beyond the shopping. The crawl provides route planning maps with public transit options and points of interest near participating shops, which is a thoughtful touch given how spread out the Bay Area is. It's as much an excuse to explore different neighborhoods as it is a yarn crawl.
