Grand Prize Drawing Update

The 1st annual North Alabama Yarn Crawl ended last Saturday and we had an amazing turnout. Thanks to everyone who came out. We are currently waiting for completed passports to arrive from participating shops so we may draw for the grand prize winner. A video will be posted as the winning passport is being chosen so everyone can join in the excitement of the drawing.

A big thanks to all of the participating shops. We hope to add more shops for next year's crawl.

Last Day of the Yarn Crawl!

After an amazing week, it's almost time to end the 1st Annual North Alabama Yarn Crawl! Today is the last day to visit the 6 participating shops. Passport holders receive special discounts/prize entries at each shop until closing time today!

For those with passports stamped by all participating shops, please leave your passport at the shop of your choice (make sure name/contact info is on passport) to be entered into the grand prize drawing. All passports will be sent to one location where they will be validated and entered into the drawing. Stay tuned for the drawing date!

What is a yarn crawl and how does it work?

The North Alabama Yarn Crawl 2015 is happening Sunday, November 8th through Saturday, November 14th. Please join us for a self-guided tour of the yarn shops in North Alabama! 

For those who are participating in a yarn crawl for the first time, here’s what it is all about. Our fabulous local yarn shops in the North Alabama area will be showcasing yarn, hosting special guests, featuring trunk shows and demonstrations. Many special sales, raffles and giveaways will also be offered. This is a wonderful way to discover some different shops in your area, or revisit your favorites. You choose – visit all the shops, a few of the shops, or just one. A yarn crawl is also a super way to mingle with other fiber fanatics and find out what they are excited about!

If you get your passport stamped at every location, you will then be entered into a grand prize drawing, a huge gift basket containing special yarns from every participating yarn shop! Just drop your passport off at the last location you visit to be entered!

Passports ($5/person) will be available for sale at every participating yarn shop.
