A Very Fuzzy Goat Local Yarn Shop Day

At Fuzzy Goat, we’ve always believed a yarn shop can be more than a place to buy yarn.
It can be a third place—where creativity, connection, and belonging show up in real ways.
Local Yarn Shop Day is our biggest day of the year not because of the deals (though yes, there are some very good ones), but because it’s the day that everything we believe about this space comes to life.
WHAT THIS DAY FEELS LIKE
- Yarn you didn’t know you needed until you touched it
- Conversations that start with knitting and end with “see you next week”
- Makers supporting makers (always)
- A space where everyone is welcome, seen, and part of the story
🌈 COMMUNITY MATTERS
Every purchase this weekend does more than fill your project bag.
It helps us continue:
- Supporting indie dyers and small makers
- Creating a welcoming, inclusive space for all
- Giving back locally (this year: Boys & Girls Club, right here in our backyard, providing life-changing programs, & building supportive relationships with peers & caring adults.) Help us write a generous check!
This is what “local” really means to us.

✨ KNITWISE FIBERS
This year, we’re turning the spotlight over to
Alycia of KnitWise Fibers—a maker whose yarns feel like sunshine in skein form.
Expect:
- Floofy, squishy, silky goodness
- Small batch colors (yes, they go fast)
- The chance to meet the person behind the dye pots
👉 This is the kind of maker we built Fuzzy Goat to support.

Part of what we love about this work is the unexpected. The conversations, the people… and sometimes, the yarn and bags that are available when we weren’t even looking for it. These batches are exactly that.

- Oh Snap LYS Large Square Sack

👜 PRE-ORDER: BIG BILLIE You asked. Jenny answered.
Big Billie is the big sister to our beloved The Billie — same girl-made Tallahassee craftsmanship from Jenny Bickley of Honey Bee Fabrications, designed with the same obsessive attention to the details that matter. More room for your bigger projects, your ambitions, your everything.
We're still waiting on our sample — but we loved The Billie so much we're opening pre-orders right here at LYS Day weekend. Be among the first to have one.
Pre-orders open LYS Day weekend. Pricing announced when our sample arrives — stay tuned.
We built this shop for days like this.
Whether you shop online in your pajamas or walk through the door and stay longer than you planned, you are part of what makes this place what it is.
We can’t wait to spend this day with you.
