In 2026, we’re making space for new yarn that inspires us!

Knit 1 is hosting a yarn swap & stitch-in for our community!

Join us if you have some special skeins that are no longer bringing you joy, and give them a new home.

SWAP DETAILS:

You have 2 options for what to bring:

OPTION 1: Bring UP TO THREE skeins/balls of DIFFERENT yarns
OPTION 2: Bring ONE sweater/large project quantity of the SAME yarn
Yarn must be clean, smoke and pet hair-free, in new condition.

Bring your yarn in a clear, sealed baggie.

If you have a question about the yarn you’re bringing, please call us ahead of time or shoot an email.

If your yarn is not chosen by someone, you must take it home with you. We don’t have space for yarn donations at this time.

You must bring yarn to take yarn! This is a yarn swap, so bring something to exchange!

SNACKS: We’ll have some snacks, but feel free to bring something to share!

STITCHING: Join us to swap and stitch together in community after-hours at the shop!

SPACE (RSVP): Space is limited, so please RSVP by registering for this event. Please only sign up if you intend on showing up and let us know if you will no longer be attending so that we can open up spots for others. Thanks!
