Seattle Area Yarn News:

Churchmouse Yarns & Teas
Though we permanently closed our yarn store in 2020, the year of the pandemic, we are still operating online at churchmouseyarns.com and offering Local Pickup from our Fulfillment Center at 179 Madrone Lane N on Bainbridge Island. 

All Wound Up - Chemo Hat Drive
Our chemo hat drive is benefiting two local cancer centers in the Edmonds area. Charity Makers are encouraged to knit hats of all sizes for men and women. Please only use cotton or bamboo yarns (no acrylic or animal fibers). You may drop off your hats at All Wound Up. 

Stranded by the Sea - Charity Knitting
Stranded by the Sea's Hook & Needle Knockers Group is collecting knit and crocheted "Knitted Knockers" for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast. Anyone is welcome to attend the group's bi-monthly meetings in the shop on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 4:30 - 6 PM. Completed knockers made with approved yarns may be dropped off anytime at Stranded by the Sea. Our group will size and stuff the knockers for patients at the Swedish Cancer Institute in Edmonds.

Encoded lace workshop with Bristol Ivy
Join us in person in Port Townsend as we welcome Bristol Ivy, here in person from her base in Maine. Bristol has been experimenting with encoding words into lace knitting, so that you could, for instance, make a shawl that has the names of your children, or the words to a favorite poem. For instance, when she was experimenting with this idea, Bristol made a scarf that featured a knitted representation of the airport codes of all the places she traveled to in 2020.
