Visiting 21 yarn stores in 9 days: Bay Area Yarn Crawl Vlog & Haul

[@northwestknitting5993]

Well, that was a lot of fun! I haven't begun to explore yarn stores in the Bay Area, so this is a good guide. I was in Starlight Knitting Society in Portland last week and saw lots of lovely yarn, but was paralyzed by indecision. I'd definitely need more of a plan to embark on a full crawl. I'm looking forward to hearing how you like knitting with some of your new yarns, like Mondim and Knitting for Olive.

Thank you, Kathy! I can also get really intimidated by the amount of yarn in some of the stores, but I find it helps me a lot to look at the yarn they have on their website (if they have one) beforehand to get a feel for what I might be most interested in buying/seeing in person. I cast on the Soul Sister scarf with the Knitting for Olive last night, so hopefully I'll have something to show off soon!

Great video! I also got to all 21 stores by the end of the crawl. I hadn’t been to most of them, so it was nice to get out and see them all. Do you happen to remember seeing Lichen and Lace at any of the stores other than Knit House? I could have sworn I saw the rustic sport line at one of the stores but I can’t figure out which one it could have been.

Thanks Tracy, congrats on finishing the crawl! Unfortunately I don't remember seeing Lichen and Lace anywhere else, and I don't remember seeing the rustic sport line there (though with the yarn stacked so high, I might have just missed it there)!
