Snohomish Knitters Guild
Home to all the fearless fiber artists in Snohomish County Washington and the surrounding area
Special Announcement
Hi!
Since we are practicing "social distancing" (Covid-19 anyone?), our public guild meetings -- general and board -- are cancelled for the month of April. (I miss them already!) How can our fiber artist community help each other get through this difficult time? Getting more comfortable with technology (how-to videos, Instagram, virtual meetings, FaceTime with friends while knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving, etc.). Working through our stash? Reading more?
Our local yarn stores also need our support now. Listed below are a few yarn shops in our area who could use our support.
- Great Yarns (Everett, WA yarn store) is taking orders (online and via phone). If you let them know, they will bring your items out to your vehicle (curbside service). Wednesday night knit group is cancelled at this time. Follow their FaceBook or Instagram page to stay up-to-date.
