Crawl Events Squirrel Style

 We had so much fun last year during the very first Bay Area Yarn Crawl. This year we have lots planned. We will post our events here and on the calendar as well as posting special products we are bringing in for the crawl. Check back for updates on what will be happening here.

We have crawl merch! We have the canvas tote bags, the Oh Snap! bags from Della Q, crawl needle gauges, and crawl stitch markers. See pictures below.

Listings for crawl specific items will turn on at 12:01 am on Friday March 14th. You can order anything you want for pick up. Keep reading for more on what new things we will have. 

Are you ready to crawl?

Check out the Bay Area Yarn Crawl website for lots of good information including the 22 participating shops, events, meet-ups, prizes, suggested routes, and so much more! There will be Bingo cards and prizes and official crawl patterns! That is all crawl wide prizes and events. We will have our own shop events, trunk shows, and prizes separate from those that are crawl-wide.
