Greater Boston Yarn Crawl

GBYC 2026: Thursday, September 24–Sunday, September 27

Greater Boston Yarn Crawl
Is back for its 11th Year!

We have 19 local yarn shops joining the crawl this year, each offering their own unique “flavor” with exclusive specials, trunk shows, and more — all crafted to inspire fiber enthusiasts of every level.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter, crochet lover, or just discovering the world of fiber arts, the Yarn Crawl is a fantastic way to explore the vibrant and diverse community of yarn shops throughout Greater Boston and beyond. Over the course of four fun-filled days, participants can travel from shop to shop, discovering new yarns, meeting fellow crafters, and soaking in creative inspiration at every stop.

Crawlers can expect exclusive giveaways, limited edition kits, and plenty of surprises along the way. Whether you visit one shop or all fifteen, you won’t want to miss this landmark celebration of all things yarn.

Mark your calendars for September 24-27, 2026 — and let the yarn adventures begin!

Don’t Forget About the Prizes!

As seasoned GBYC crawlers know by now, you need to make sure to check the Prize Baskets in each shop and remember at the end of the crawl to send/drop off the passport at the shop with your favorite basket! You will be entered in the drawing for the shop’s basket and for the GBYC Grand Prizes (gift cards from the participating shops).
The more shops you visit, the larger the prizes for which your passport qualifies you.
