2022 Chicago Yarn Crawl

July 30 - August 7, 2022

Welcome to the 2022 Chicago Yarn Crawl!
This year's Chicago Yarn Crawl theme is "Together We Shine!"

This year we are honoring the 150th anniversary of Chicago starting to rebuild after the Great Chicago Fire. We celebrate the sun shining over the Water Tower, one of the few remaining structures to survive the fire. We know that with our community, Together We Shine!

We are continuing to collaborate with Work+Shelter to make our tote bags and the notion bags! Work+Shelter is a Chicago company that sustainably sources all their materials and provides a safe and ethical work environment for their team.
