Thank you so much for visiting String Theory as part of the Fiberside Summer Crawl. We loved having the opportunity to share some of the things that make our shop special.
If you would like to take a virtual tour of the store, watch this video that knitwear designer Barbara Benson made on a recent trip to String Theory.
On this page, we gathered the yarns and kits that Janet mentioned (or wanted to mention but time ran out) during our visit. Of course, we hope you have a moment to take a look around. We have lots more yarn, bags, gadgets, and gifts - all from companies that are working to make the world a better place.
