I have a few friends who always have yarn and needles close by. They don’t leave home without them. I of course am jealous of all the crafty things they can make with those needles and yarn. Hats, socks, blankets and even a blanket or scarf have come from their creativity.
If this sounds familiar then the 14th Annual Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop is something to put on your calendar and maybe even plan a fun time with friends.
The Yarn Shop Hop takes place April 2-5, with 13 different stores participating. The event is free, however they would love to raise money or food donations for local food shelves. You can find the list of participating shops here on their website as well as driving directions.
