Our Business Members

​Since opening in 2022 we’ve been featured in The Globe, Boston.com, received an Extraordinary Women award from the mayor, and we’ve expanded into a new space with the help of an investment campaign with Mainvest. We’re a community-focused queer-owned business that carries a variety of yarn from independent dyers and a few larger companies. Our goal is to bring yarn that might be harder to find to Boston area crafters and visitors. We strive to source from queer-, women- and BIPOC-owned businesses and love to work with local dyers and business owners to bring yarn and accessories into the shop.

Explore Knitting Tours is a female-owned business based in Rhode Island. We offer unique travel experiences combining exploring faraway countries, private guided tours, small group knitting instruction, while enjoying scenery, shopping, food, socializing and culture. Lynn Ruggieri, your personal tour guide, is a dual citizen of Italy and the U.S. and splits her time between the two countries, residing in Perugia for the last 10 years. Her passion is the history, art and architecture of the Umbria region
