smells like fall

Oh how we love the Fall at Collected Thread!!!! Here are a few new things at the shop to help you get excited as well. 

Plaza District Yarn Bomb!

In celebration of our 3 year anniversary, we wanted to do something kinda crazy so we YARN BOMBED THE PLAZA DISTRICT!!!! About 15 of us , under the cover of darkness, created some textile mischief on Tuesday night. Our yarn gang have been knitting together for the past couple of months to get ready to cover the district. The idea was that, by covering everyday objects such as light poles and street benches, we would change the way you see these objects. Please come down to the Plaza District and see what we have worked so hard on!

Here are some videos about our yarn bombing:
