About
the Seattle to Portland Yarn Train Event
A small Washington Snohomish county stitch ‘n bitch group initiated the first “yarn train” in 2005 to spend time together knitting and yarn shopping. Since then the event has grown to more than 200+ folks who come to Portland to shop for their favorite product, knit while in transit and meet other knitters.
