    by Emily Henkels
    Calling all cat (and yarn) lovers! We are thrilled to introduce Ali of Roadtrip Sock Yarns, and her purrrrific new trunk show at String Theory, which is inspired by... you guessed it, cats!

  • Earth Friendly Yarn Options at String Theory

    Earth Friendly Yarn Options at String Theory

    By Janet Avila

    Every day is Earth Day at String Theory.  When we choose which yarns to carry, we consider their impact on the environment. We look for natural fibers without added acrylic (made from pertroleum) and organic cottons that protect water supply (because they weren't grown with pesticides). We look for products made by companies that care about sustainability.
