Celebrate Local Yarn Store Day | April 25

Sat, 16 May 2026 01:30:00 -0400

Welcome to this special edition of The Crochet Stitch, the weekly crochet podcast from Yarn Over Hook, the global home of crochet.

View the Newsletter: Celebrate Local Yarn Store Day Today 🧶

In this episode, we’re celebrating Local Yarn Store Day, happening Saturday, April 25, 2026. This annual event is all about showing love to independently owned yarn shops and the creative communities they help support. For crocheters, it is also a meaningful opportunity to visit your favorite local yarn store, discover something new, and help make crochet more visible in the broader fiber world.

We talk about why local yarn stores matter, not just as places to buy yarn, but as gathering spaces, learning spaces, and community spaces. Many shops celebrate the day with special events, trunk shows, giveaways, exclusive patterns, yarn launches, and community stitching time.

You’ll also hear simple ways to make the most of Local Yarn Store Day, including visiting a shop near you, asking about crochet-friendly events or classes, bringing a current project, buying yarn or tools, sharing the shop on social media, or inviting another crocheter to come along.

Whether you are stopping in to say hello, picking up supplies for your next project, or sharing your favorite local yarn shop with the Yarn Over Hook community, your visit matters.

Local Yarn Store Day is a beautiful reminder that crochet is community.

Grab your hook, visit your favorite LYS, and celebrate the people, places, and makers that keep crochet connected.

Yarnbow Resin Hooks, Popcorn & This Week in Crochet | April 20

Sat, 16 May 2026 01:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to The Crochet Stitch, the weekly crochet podcast from Yarn Over Hook, the global home of crochet.

View the Newsletter: The Crochet Stitch: Hooks, Popcorn, and This Week in Crochet

This week, we’re talking crochet hooks, whimsical makes, community updates, and what’s happening across Yarn Over Hook.

In this episode, we share a community review from longtime Yarn Over Hook member Kelli, who tested a Yarnbow resin crochet hook in size J / 6.0 mm. Kelli found the hook strong, sturdy, and smooth with bulky yarn, especially compared to some resin hooks that can feel fragile. While it did not replace her favorite metal hooks, she found it to be a dependable and attractive option she would happily use again.

We also highlight Sammi’s latest crochet replay, featuring a whimsical popcorn project inspired by a Disney Sea popcorn bucket. It’s a cozy, playful crochet session with lo-fi vibes, creative stitching, and a project that feels delightfully unexpected.

Plus, we preview this week’s Yarn Over Hook live schedule, including Let’s Crochet & Chat, #WIPWednesday, and Square Up Saturday, with projects ranging from the Festival Blanket to crochet popcorn and granny square chart reading.

You’ll also hear about the latest episode of Exploration Crochet, hosted by ReRe: Yarn Bombing: From Door Handle to Wall Street, along with a quick community board reminder for pattern testers, crochet events, yarn crawls, and maker patterns.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy crochet replay, a thoughtful hook review, a new podcast listen, or a reason to join the next livestream, we’re glad you’re here.
