Yarn & Fabric Swap
January 31 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Are you looking to refresh your yarn or sewing supplies?
The swap will run from 1:00-3:00 pm on January 31 in the Stryker Center. Donors of supplies will receive a ticket that grants them exclusive entry to the swap between 1:00 and 1:15 p.m. Doors will open to the general public at 1:15 p.m. and will continue until the swap closes at 3 p.m.
Donate your unwanted supplies to the reference desk at either the Williamsburg or James City County Libraries from Saturday, January 24, through Thursday, January 29. All donated supplies must be usable and in good condition. There is a one-box limit to donations, maximum size approximately 20” X16” X15” (about the size of a Medium Home Depot moving box, for reference). All items must be related to yarn, needle, or fabric arts.
We will have a one-bag limit per adult who attends the swap. (Examples include paper or plastic grocery bags and small to medium-sized reusable tote bags.) 4-gallon trash bags, large reusable bags (Ikea size), or anything bigger are not permitted.
Suggested items: Yarn, fabric & felt, knitting and crochet supplies (needles, hooks, stitch counters, etc.), embroidery/needlework kits, needlework supplies (hoops, floss, aida, hand needles, linen fabric, etc.), sewing notions (thread, trim/binding, zippers, buttons, etc.), patterns, including sewing, quilt, hand embroidery, knitting and crocheting.
