Here, community is everything. We source our yarns, notions, ingredients, and more from local, ethical partners who share our values of inclusivity and integrity in crafting. Discover exclusive colorways and fair trade supplies for all aspects of your crafting journey.
Cafe Customer Review
“I LOVE The Sow’s Ear! It’s my home away from home. The atmosphere there is so inviting & comfortable.”
Sow's Ear Regular Customer
The Sow's Ear is, and has been, my third place since moving to the area in 2011. Over the years, I have made friends, drank MANY cups of coffee, and finished lots of projects (and rang the bell!) at The Sow. It is one of my favorite walking destinations, with my dogs always pulling on their leashes to sit on the front deck and receive pets and pup cups from staff. And it was with staff support that I dove into sewing to help keep their shelves stocked with fun and unique projects bags. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful cafe and LYS in my community.
Happy Customer
"Their food and drinks are delicious, and the yarn is top quality and so beautiful!"
