Shop in style and show your love for your local yarn shops with official 2025 Chicago Yarn Crawl swag!

Our 2025 CYC theme, “Growing Community”, is inspired by our thriving knitting and crochet community. A charming garden design pays homage to the dyers, designers, local yarn shops, and most importantly, YOU, the makers, who blossom and grow together through our love of yarn.

Bags are available for pre-order now, July 1st, through July 19th. After the 19th, bags go up to full price. Pre-ordered bags will be available to pick up or ship on July 26th, the first day of the Crawl.

Tote Bag - New style! - An annual tradition, the CYC tote bag is sturdy white cotton with a printed design featuring balls of yarn among a cheery garden. The names of all participating shops appear on each flower, perfect for displaying the pins that you’ll collect as you visit each yarn shop! This year’s new horizontal tote bag style features a zippered pocket and extra sturdy base and straps. 18" wide by 14" high (not including straps) with a 4” gusseted bottom to more comfortably fit your yarn haul.

Zipper Bag - This cute accessory bag features a mini garden design to coordinate with your tote along with a soft and sturdy 4.5” wrist strap. Zipper bag measures 11.5” by 7.75” with a 3.25” gusseted bottom to allow the bag to sit flat and comfortably fit a small project or large collection of tools.
