Craft Stash and Swap | Kate Magrath |

Are you a knitter/crocheter/quilter/seamstress/cross-sticher? If so, you certainly have a bunch of odds and ends - excess "Stash" - yarns/threads/fabrics/patterns that you no longer love as much as when you first got them. Bring things you can part with without tears to the Craft Stash and Swap table on Saturday Morning and we'll match this abundance with people who can use it.
If you are looking for a unique bit of yarn/thread/fabric to experiment with, come to the Craft Stash and Swap table any time and see what you can use.
No money will change hands at this event. Leftovers can be retrieved Sunday or will be donated to a charitable group (i.e. knitters/quilters/crocheters for homeless pets, newborns, hospitalized children, etc.)
