Greater Philly Yarn Crawl

The Greater Philly Yarn Crawl connects 17 yarn shops across the Greater Philadelphia area over four days. You get a free shop-specific pattern at every stop, so even a partial crawl builds up a nice collection. A tiered prize structure scales with how many shops you visit, from four stops up to all seventeen, and each shop runs its own giveaway on top of that. Five percent of registration fees go to PA Fibershed, a nonprofit working to rebuild Pennsylvania's local textile economy by connecting the state's farmers, mills, dyers, and makers. The pattern-at-every-shop model means you're coming home with something from each visit whether you win a prize or not.
