Paper Crane Yarns shop is in Calera, AL. Ashley Jeffcoat will spend her third WWKIPD with us at the library. She will be bringing yarn, tools, totes, and more fun stuff. She will be located in the Library Plaza Newsstand. Brick House Fiber Arts is a Birmingham women-owned and operated business. "Our goal is to make knitting as effortless as possible. We set out to design a needle that minimizes or eliminates the minor; or major irritations that we've all put up with for years. Our hexagon aluminum knitting needles are the culmination of a dream to create a new approach to knitting." Sherwood Fiber Arts was started by our own Purler, Maddy McLendon. Her Etsy store and frequent art show appearances have gained her a reputation for dependable, delightful colorful yarns and roving. She is also bringing her wonderfully whimsical amigurumi creatures. Please support our home-grown girl! Coosa Valley Arts is the shop created by former librarian Robin Griffin. She will be bringing her quirky clay creations including yarn bowls, Purl on the Plaza mugs, ceramic buttons and wooden carved stitch markers. We look forward to welcoming Coosa Valley Arts back at WWKIPD!
