Middle Of The Mitten Yarn Crawl 2026
Middle of the Mitten Yarn Crawl
All the Yarny Details
The Middle of the Mitten Yarn Crawl starts this Thursday, June 11th and runs through June 20th. We've packed the shop with special events, exclusive products, prizes, trunk shows, and plenty of reasons to stop by.
Before we jump into all the fun, a quick note for our online community:
Many of the items featured below are debuting during the Middle of the Mitten Yarn Crawl and will be available first to in-store visitors. Once the Yarn Crawl concludes, we'll inventory any remaining products and do our best to make them available online as well.
That includes our new Liberty Bay colorway, special products, and other Yarn Crawl goodies. We never want our online friends to feel left out, and if inventory remains after the event, we'll be sure to share it with you too!
Now, onto all Yarn Crawl details...
Exclusive Yarn Crawl Colorway
Introducing Liberty Bay, our limited-edition colorway inspired by the celebration of America's 250th birthday.
This festive red, white, and blue speckled colorway will be available exclusively during the Yarn Crawl on BayDrift and Elemental Fingering. While supplies last.
Free Gifts During the Yarn Crawl
Spend $25 or more during the Middle of the Mitten Yarn Crawl and receive a complimentary North Bay Fiber cedar block while supplies last.
Custom engraved for North Bay Fiber by our friend Allison of Isabella Flock, these cedar blocks are perfect for storing with your yarn, woolens, and knitting projects while helping to naturally protect your fiber stash.
One complimentary cedar block per qualifying purchase, while supplies last.
