The @lystour.com bags are now available in our online shop - and in-person tomorrow starting at 10 AM! Have us ship them or reserve one for pickup: www.stillyriveryarns.com/store/p681/L...

Two event-branded bags are standing under a growing bright green hosta plant in a mulched garden bed. Both bags feature a green image on a natural canvas background: a WA State Ferry is centered on the image, flanked by tall pine trees and a large mountain - Tahoma - in the background. On the large bag, a moon rises behind the mountain and a large ball of yarn is placed in the near foreground. On the small bag, the ball of yarn is placed behind the mountain to represent the moon. Both bags read “Puget Sound LYS Tour 2025.” The large bag has dark green sides and handles. The small bag has a dark green bottom and a zippered top.

One of our favorite events here at Acorn Street Shop is hosting Pop-up shops with Local Dyers. We are fortunate to have so many talented dyers in our area & every time we host a dyer & their yarn spreads across the center of the shop, we cannot resist squishing it and marveling at the colors. 3/4

Our shop thrives on being a safe and welcoming space for all to enjoy. This common interest with fiber crafts has opened doors for many friendships that perhaps may not have otherwise crossed each other's paths. It is truly heartwarming and exciting to experience, and we get to talk about yarn! 2/4

Wrapping up our Shop Spotlights is Acorn Street Shop. It's hard to believe that this little shop has been around for 35 years. Mary and Janet took over ownership nearly 7 years ago and they never cease to have fun playing with yarn. 1/4

Our shop location gave us a space to gather, share, and learn with others, and provided a market for artisans to sell their wares. We’ve moved twice since that phone call nearly 14 years ago, and much has changed. Through it all, we have remained ‘A Crafting Community, crafting community.’ 4/4

Why? Even before we had a physical location, Bazaar Girls existed as a way of honoring the creative forces in all of us by permitting ourselves to take the time to be crafty. 3/4
