nyc yarn crawl promo imageVisit us in Greenpoint and Lower Manhattan for this year's NYC Yarn Crawl!

The NYC Yarn Crawl is an annual fall extravaganza where knitters, crocheters, spinners, dyers, and fiber craft lovers of all kinds visit Manhattan & Brooklyn's finest local yarn shops to celebrate our community and shared love of fiber arts. This year, as Crawlers visit a variety of neighborhoods across Manhattan & Brooklyn we'll be ready to greet you at our Greenpoint shop (165 Greenpoint Ave) and in Lower Manhattan at our Summer in the City Pop-Up (225 Broadway).
