It’s a Wednesday! This week and every week, we host Stitch Night from 5-7pm at our store front, just south of downtown Columbus! It can get busy, so we suggest bringing an extra chair if you’ve got it! Masks heavily encouraged (you will look weird without one tbh). #knitting #crochet #columbusohio

You know what’s a good way to take a break from the internet? Your local stitch night. We do ours every Wednesday, 5-7pm.

And so many of us knew this would happen, because we know where our supplies come from.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Sep 3

Knitters, crocheters and other yarn enthusiasts are feeling the ripple effects of President Trump’s repeal of a tax exemption for low-value imports.

Crafters face higher prices, delivery delays and supply issues.

Knitters snagged by tariffs, as yarn brands pause shipments to U.S.

At least a half dozen European brands suspended deliveries after the de minimis exemption ended, leaving crafters to contend with higher prices and supply issues.

Christina D @akasha111182.bsky.social · Sep 3

I remember @stillyriveryarns.com making IG videos about this pretty much the same week “tariffs” first popped up on the news. And that was what, in the spring? A while ago.

Dye Mad Yarns @dyemadyarns.bsky.social · Sep 3

hey look, Lindsey was talking about this four months ago!!
