Warm stitches, kind vibes, and a galaxy of gratitude.
As the days grow shorter and the nights a little cozier, our Yarny Way galaxy keeps spinning with creativity, connection, and kindness. Here’s what’s been happening — and what’s coming up this month!
Malabrigo Day Recap
A huge thank you to everyone who came out for Malabrigo Day! The shop was bursting with color, laughter, and fiber feels as we explored the full spectrum of Malabrigo yarns, played our Kahoots course, and spun for prizes.
Grand Prize Winner: Congratulations to Janice, who took home our Friendship Shawl Kit featuring three skeins of Dos Tierras and a pair of LYKKE Blush needles!
Preorders rolled in quickly — thank you for your enthusiasm! A little note: Vientos is on backorder, but your skeins are on the way.
We’ve added a few photos from the day — check them out in the gallery below!

NICU Blanket Donation
Another big thank you to everyone who participated in our baby blanket drive. The handmade blankets were picked up by Dr. Flowers and delivered to UMC’s NICU, where they’ll bring warmth and comfort to tiny new lives. (Photo below!)

♻️ EVENT SPOTLIGHT: The Yarn Exchange
Friday, November 7 | 3–6 PM | During Craft & Chill
Bring your stash. Trade some skeins. Spread the yarny love.
Is your yarn shelf overflowing with beautiful skeins you once adored but never used? Or maybe you’re craving something new without adding to your budget? Join us for The Yarn Exchange — a friendly, fair, and fiber-filled event where makers can bring their extra yarn and trade it for something fresh! Bring your yarn anytime before the meetup to receive your galaxy tokens, then come and “shop” from 3-6 on November 7th!
CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Beginning Knitting with Jared in November
Our November Beginner Knitting Series is in progress — thank you to everyone who registered! If you missed this round, don’t worry — we’ll run it again after the holidays. In the meantime, private instruction is available for all levels with Marni or Claire. Whether you’re brand-new or brushing up on skills, one-on-one sessions are a great way to get personalized guidance.

The Basics of Crochet with Joy | Tuesday, Nov 12 | 1–4 PM
Get hooked (or re-hooked) on crochet in this fun, hands-on intro class! Learn the basic stitches, tools, and techniques you’ll need to start your crochet journey — or refresh your skills if it’s been a while.
