Shop in style and show your love for your local yarn shops with our official 2026 Chicago Yarn Crawl tote bag!

Bags are available for pre-order now, July 6th, through July 18th. After the 18th, bags go up to full price. Pre-ordered bags will be available to pick up or ship on July 25th, the first day of the Crawl.

Our 2026 CYC theme is Celebrating the 100 Year Anniversary of Historic Route 66. Just like Rt. 66, Chicagoland yarn shops are connected by many roads, creating a thriving community.

An annual tradition, the CYC tote bag is sturdy white cotton with a printed design featuring a sassy sheep hitting the road in a stylish convertible! The names of all 20 participating shops appear on road signs, perfect for displaying the pins that you’ll collect as you visit each yarn shop. This year’s new large tote bag style features an interior pocket and gusseted bottom, and is printed in the USA.

Tote dimensions: 20" tall x 14.5" wide x 5.5" deep with a strap depth of 10"
