Chicago Yarn Crawl 2020 - String Theory Yarn Co

Chicago Yarn Crawl 2020

How to Participate

This year you have the option of participating either virtually or in person (as you follow the Safe Crawl Guidelines). 

How it will work

  • Passports - We will not be collecting “stamps” this year. However, once the Crawl begins you will be able to download a passport with all the store addresses and hours.

  • Totes - You can preorder your 2020 tote bags from String Theory. Click here to get yours. If we have sold out, check the Chicago Yarn Crawl website. 

  • Buttons - If you stop by String Theory (and the other stores, too), you will be able to collect our 2020 Crawl button. If you are participating virtually, you might want to consider buying a  Button Bundle, that includes all the shop buttons. This will be available on the Chicago Yarn Crawl site.
