If you are a yarn shop located a stone’s throw from the beltway, sign up for the Charm City Yarn Crawl through the handy form below!
Here are the details for the 2024 Charm City Yarn Crawl:
How do my customers participate?
- Customers purchase a CCYC canvas tote for $15 from participating yarn shops. They may not use previous year’s totes.
This tote entitles customer to 8 days of discounts at Baltimore-area participating yarn shops. Customers receive 20% off entire purchase of full-priced yarn, fiber & patterns at each store during the nine days of the CCYC. - Customers collect a stamp on their CCYC passport (included with the tote) at each participating shop and are entered for a prize drawing at the store of their choice after collecting X stamps from shops (dependent on total number of shops participating). The prize packages are valued at $100. Purchase is not necessary for them to earn a stamp. They need only visit the shop with the current CCYC tote and passport.
What we provide:
- Advertising on Facebook and Ravelry
- Marketing via Facebook and Ravelry pages
- Website support including:
- Your shop on the shop map.
- Your shop on the shop directory with hours, website and a one-line description.
