Triangle Yarn Crawl
The Spring 2014 Triangle Yarn Crawl is a fun self-guided tour that connects fiber lovers who enjoy the adventure of discovering new local yarn shops in the Triangle. The crawl takes place during normal business hours on March 22-23, 2014 and includes nine local shops throughout the Triangle. Yarn crawl participants are provided with the means to develop their own self-guided itinerary for a weekend of exploration and fun and will receive a “Crawl Passport” to have stamped at each shop for promotions.
