Great Rhody Yarn Crawl to Benefit RI Food Bank
Saturday, March 12, 2011
It's fun-knit one, good-cause-purl two.
The Great Rhody Yarn Crawl is a wonderful stitching together of knitters with their favorite yarn shops across Rhode Island in a three-day extravaganza that takes the pub crawl and gives it fiber. The goal: to visit as many participating stores as possible over the weekend of April 15-17. And support RI Food Bank along the way by donating non-perishable food at each stop.
Participating shops
* Sakonnet Purls (Tiverton)
* Knitting Corner (Middletown)
* Bella Yarns ( Warren)
* Knitting Needles (Newport)
* Mermaids Purl ( Wickford)
* Knit one Purl too (Wakefield)
* Knit Wits (Westerly)
* Unwind (East Greenwich)
* Eneri Knits (Exeter)
* Fresh Purls (Providence)
* Yarn Outlet (Pawtucket)
* Peter Patchis (Central Falls)
* Yarnia (Woonsocket)
Crawlers will get one free raffle ticket and a passport stamp at each participating store they visit, making them eligible for a Grand Prize Raffle Basket awarded at a culminating event at Slater Mill on Sunday, April 17 from noon-5pm.
