2020 Sponsor: Charm City Yarn Crawl (Postponed)

What is CCYC?
Join the Charm City Yarn Crawl and receive 20% off full-priced yarn, fiber, and patterns by purchasing the CCYC tote for $15 from participating Baltimore area shops. The discount is valid for the duration of the yarn crawl, typically in late March / early April. Each shop will be planning events during the 10 day event and each shop is offering an amazing raffle prize that participants can enter to win.

What stores are participating?
Each year participating stores are listed on the website. www.charmcityyarncrawl.com

When is it happening?
The Charm City Yarn Crawl for 2020 has been postponed for now - check back for a new date!

What inspired you to start the crawl?
Honestly, we wanted to participate in the Metro Yarn Crawl in D.C. but we were too far away to participate. Danielle from Fibre Space encouraged us to start our own crawl and even connected us with people who could help us get started. I think it benefits customers as well as LYS owners.

How does it benefit customers?
Customers buy a tote for $15 and during the yarn crawl they are entitled to 20% off their purchase of yarn, fiber and patterns. They have a "passport" they will get stamped as they visit the shops (no purchase necessary for a stamp). While they are at the shops they should ask what the shop has as a raffle prize because at the end of the crawl, they'll drop their stamped passport off at the shop with the prize they like the most.

This event is a great way for customers to be introduced to all of their local yarn shops. Each shop has their own specialty and a yarn crawl is the perfect opportunity for each shop to demonstrate their uniqueness to a new group of customers.

Sit and Knit Sun 1-5pm
Sit and Spin 2nd and Last Friday 6-9pm


What kinds of things do you carry?
We carry a variety of products including yarns from companies like Malabrigo, Plymouth, Berroco, Hedgehog Fibres to name a few. You can also find Tempting Ewe Yarns which is sold exclusively at Cloverhill Yarn Shop.  We sell fiber for spinning and felting such as roving from Hipstrings, and Hobbledehoy batts and rovings. We are Schacht, Ashford, and Louet Dealers and we can order any of their products from spinning wheels to looms.

How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
Cloverhill is celebrating its 50th year in business! Originally called the Weaver’s Place, Cloverhill Yarn Shop is fortunate to have been a part of the fiber community for over a generation. It is a joy to offer a happy place for many. We are delighted to teach new skills to those interested in learning, offer a seat at the table to all who wish to join, and offer help with questions when they arise. Cloverhill is an LYS, but it is also a community center for fiber lovers. 

What's your favorite thing about having a LYS?
Having an LYS is like having an extended family who shares in your passion. There’s enough diversity in interest within the shop that I’ll always have something to learn; often from a long-time customer with wisdom to share. Sometimes from a new and fearless fiber artist. I am not much of a social person outside the shop but I love to meet new people and reconnect with our regulars every week. I like to think of Cloverhill Yarn Shop as my safe space away from home and I can only hope others agree.

How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?

This is the 14th year that Lovelyarns has been in business, however, it is my fourth year as owner and chief yarn slinger.  With help from my recently late grandmother, I was able to purchase the business on January 1, 2017 from long-time owner and founder, Sue Caldwell.  I was first a customer and then an employee of Sue's and this past summer she made me an offer I couldn't refuse and now here we are living the dream!


What's your favorite thing about having a LYS? 

All the yarn!! Hahaha! I really enjoy meeting all of the wonderful dyers and artisans whose work we sell and of course all of our lovely stitchers, spinners, weavers, and felters! While I was working on the business plan for the shop, part of my "Big Vision" was to create a magical space where people could come in and feel inspired to be playful and creative with their various fiber arts projects.  I am proud to say that I think we are achieving that goal.

What kinds of things do you carry?
We search out unique and hard to find yarns and tools for our knit and crochet community. We specialize in indie and US made companies (Brooklyn Tweed, Harrisville Designs, Spincycle, Stonehedge Fiber Mill and Jill Draper Makes Stuff, for example) and are most known for our amazing selection of hand dyed yarns. Here are a few: Neighborhood Fiber Co., Miss Babs, The Lemonade Shop, Freia Handpaints and Hazel Knits. We’ve also got some interesting imports that you might not see anywhere else: Di Gilpin, De Rerum Natura and a variety of notions and accessories from too!

How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
My teaching business, Knit-a-Gogo, Inc was started in 2006. The retail shop grew out of that business (after a lot of begging and pleading by my students!). We opened our doors in July 2009.

What's your favorite thing about having your business?
I love being inspired by my customer’s creativity. Every day, someone points out a new great pattern that they found or puts together two colors that I would never have thought of putting together. I really have the greatest job in the world.

How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
Red Fox turned three on February 1, 2020. It doesn't seem like it's been three years already! The NoVa area has had several yarn shops close as the owners retired in the last few years (including one in the space where Red Fox Yarns is now). I'd always wanted to have a needlework store of my own, and everything fell into place at the right time for it to happen!


What's your favorite thing about having your business?
Oh my goodness - I get to play with yarn all day! And talk about yarn! If it wasn't for the paperwork involved, it wouldn't feel like work at all!

Knot House PodcastHow long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open a LYS?
July will make 6 years. There wasn't a local yarn shop for over 3 years, so we thought with the building, light and hard work we would open one. We have enjoyed bringing the small Indie Dyers to the community, and enjoy looking for "what's new" all the time.

Amanda Ko and Wae Wang bought Cloverhill Yarn Shop and we opened our doors to a newer and brighter space on July 2nd, 2013. We have been working hard to restore Cloverhill to its former glory. Many customers had drifted away over the years and we wanted to build on the history of our shop to create a space where the fiber loving community can gather free of judgement or prejudice to celebrate our love for our crafts. We have the most loving and supportive community of men and women and it really shows and we invite everyone to come on by because Cloverhill is back!

What's your favorite thing about having a LYS?
Our favorite part about having a LYS would have to be the people we get to meet everyday. We really do enjoy meeting new customers and getting to know them individually and welcoming them into our community. They know we're their safe place and if they need help we're there. We also like the yarn and the fiber, a lot.

We're at 4706 Bethesda Avenue, just off Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, MD.  Our hours are

11-9 Thursday; 10-6 Saturday; and 12-6 Sunday.
Be sure to join us at our community knit/crochet night every Wednesday. 

What kinds of things do you carry?
We stock yarns to inspire your creations, whether it's a delicate lace shawl or an indestructible toddler sweater!  Our yarns range from hearty basics to sinful luxury, although we will admit to a preference for natural fibers.  And we love hand-dyes wherever they come from--we stock Shalimar from right up the road in Frederick, Black Trillium from Portland, Oregon, and yarns from everywhere in between.





How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
We just started our fourth year in business!  We were both long-time yarn store employees, and when the owner decided to sell, we saw the chance to create the kind of place we would want as knitters--beautiful yarns, expert advice, and a warm and friendly atmosphere.  We love yarn as much as you do!

What's your favorite thing about having a LYS? 
Not one thing, but two:  the chance to work with amazing yarn, and the chance to work with our amazing customers.
