Postponed Again - Needles and Hooks Trunk Show

I have a family emergency and need to postpone the trunk show again. I apologize for the changing schedule but we will be doing the show in April instead. I have more information about what is going on on Instagram but if you have any questions please contact me and I will continue to update here as well. Thank you and again my apologies for the date moving so much.

We are postponing until 3/21-3/22 due to the snow storm. See you then!

GDF is headed to Lake Forest Park for a trunk show! Come see us in their cute shop which is located in the lower level of the Town Center, inside the mall, next to the library. I’ll have all the superwash and nonsuperwash bases as well as fiber with me.
