What an exciting few days for Belle\u2019s Crafting Adventures! The Kansas City Yarn Crawl<\/a> (KCYC) was held September 19-22, and five local yarn shops in the Kansas City area participated. My daughter, Rio, and I took part in this event visiting all five yarn shops! During the next few weeks, I will go more in-depth about each shop we visited and the yarn dyers we met. So, kick back, relax, and let\u2019s go on an adventure together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop, Knit Ewe Together<\/a> in Excelsior Springs, MO. Oh my, they have a lot of beautiful yarn! We wanted to support local yarn dyers this weekend. We purchased yarn from New Garden Yarns<\/a> and Steel Floozy<\/a>. These two dyers collaborated and had a beautiful 2024 KCYC Colorway Set \u201cSnuggle Up\u201d available. Melissa with New Garden Yarn was at the shop while we were there and I look forward to doing a story on her soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then traveled west to Leavenworth, KS to Momo\u2019s Knitting Nook & Crochet Emporium<\/a>. It\u2019s really hard to stay on budget with so much beautiful yarn available! Here we purchase yarn from Th\u2019Red Head Designs<\/a> and Potion Yarns<\/a>. Johanna with Potion Yarns was there and I look forward to doing a feature on her soon, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onward to \u201cMass\u201d Street in Lawrence, KS. There is a lot to see in Yarn Barn of Kansas<\/a> as they cover many crafts including weaving, knitting, and crocheting. We did decide on some yarn from Life\u2019s a Stitch<\/a> and 316 Dye Studios<\/a>. From here, we headed back home to regroup and prepare for day two of the KCYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday brought some much needed rain during our travels. Our first stop was Yarn Social KC<\/a>, in Kansas City, MO. This charming shop had a great selection of yarn, books, and notions. We purchased some yarn from Treasure Goddess Yarn<\/a> and Lichen and Lace<\/a> that coordinated beautifully together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last stop for the KCYC was Unwind Fiber Arts<\/a> in Lee\u2019s Summit, MO. They also have a beautiful shop full of yarn, books, and notions. We found more yarn from Treasure Goddess Yarn<\/a> and Ruthie Jane Fibers<\/a>. I also found a crochet card deck, \u201cCrochet Stitches\u201d by Esme Crick<\/a> that has 52 cards of crochet textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What an exciting two days traveling just over 400 miles to five wonderful local yarn shops. Everyone working at these shops was kind, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We had a fantastic time and look forward to going back to these shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for spending time with me today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. \u2013 As we were winding the yarn purchased, we realized Lichen and Lace<\/a> are actually from NB (New Brunswick, Canada). In the store, I totally read that and thought Nebraska even though I know that NE is the abbreviation for Nebraska! Tired eyes and yarn overwhelm played a part in that faux pas, but it gave us a good laugh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, feel free to enjoy a video with more of a look at the Yarn Crawl!<\/p>\n\n\n
