Trunk Shows at Northwest Wools
Some of our favorite vendors will be here with oodles of yarn, fiber and bags to tempt you! Come meet the artists behind the brands.
March 5-8
InTheBagPDX
We’ll host InTheBagPDX for a trunk show all four days of the Crawl. Owner Tracy creates practical but fun and unique bags and storage accessories for all your project needs, from sweaters to socks. Her bags, bins and rope baskets are as notable for their colors and patterns as they are for their excellent craftsmanship.
March 5-8
Fiona Kay Knits
We’re excited to once again feature Fiona Kay Knits for all four days of the Crawl. A one-woman dying operation based right here in Portland, Fiona draws inspiration from goth and alternative fashions, country western aesthetics, horror movies and American traditional tattoo designs. Her work has been described as “Goth Lisa Frank” or “Dolly Parton meets Elvira.” Fiona’s yarn is featured in our shop’s knit pattern this year.

Garage Dyeworks
Sharon Spence of Garage Dyeworks has been dying yarn in Hillsboro since 2008, previously under the name “Stitch Jones.” She enjoys using bright, vibrant color in her dye work, and likes fun names for her colorways, like “Fold in the Cheese,” “She Walked in Through the Out Door,” and “Bring Your Jukebox Money.” Sharon is the dyer who brought us our signature shop color, “Belle of the Ball.”

Heidi West Designs
Heidi's bags and textiles are unique, produced in small batches, and made to last. Taking inspiration from nature and the Craftsman style, Heidi designs and screen prints her own fabrics before sewing them into fabulously functional bags. We dare you to buy just one!

The daughter of two retired artists, Steph’s life-long obsession with color is apparent in her gorgeous colorways and gradient sets.
