I& #39;ll keep adding to this for easy access so bookmark the thread if you want to keep track of #blackowned yarn stores. Remember that racial justice is important. So many of these women began their businesses b/c they were ostracized in the knitting/crochet community. 11/

So these Blk business owners have created spaces for everyone, &made ethical business practice a priority. So pls support them, follow them & others on IG & remember that #BlackLivesMatter
