The NYC Yarn Crawl is an annual fall extravaganza where knitters, crocheters, spinners, dyers and fiber craft lovers of all kinds visit Manhattan and Brooklyn's finest local yarn shops to celebrate our community and love of fiber arts. With stores in both Brooklyn and Manhattan, crawlers visit a wonderful variety of neighborhoods across NYC, and with shops ranging from tiny jewels to needlework meccas, and there are new discoveries at every turn.
Knitty City will be open 12-6pm all days of the crawl. And will be giving 10% off everything in store and online EXCEPT for pop-up shop products.
Who will be here for the pop-ups?
Friday, October 2nd, Yarn Over New York is beloved by all New York knitters and crocheters. Jessie's vibrant colors will surely brighten up your day.
Saturday, October 3rd, Hanging on by a String is a vegan focused hand dyer. Ashley dyes some animal based fibers, but her passion is with tencel, bamboo, cotton, and eucalyptus.
Sunday, September 29th, we wrap up the Yarn Crawl with handmade pottery from Jonathan Castro Designs.
Thank you for choosing Knitty City for your knitting and crochet needs.
We strive to provide the best service New York's Upper West Side has to offer.
Knitting has been one of the biggest events in Bryant Park this Summer and the people want more!
Join us Wednesday, September 16th 1:30-3:30pm for our last knitting circle in the park this season.
Pop-up shops at Knitty City are an opportunity for entrepreneurial individuals to have a space to show and sell their products.
We will feature a different small business in front of Knitty City on Saturdays. Please stop by, check out what they have to offer, and ask them about what they do.
20% of all pop-up sales are donated to non-profit organizations. This season, we will be giving 20% to Heifer International.

Jonathan Castro is our local UWS potter. We love his scented candles! His functional work is inspired by traditional Japanese pottery but with a modern style. His sculptural work draws inspiration from underwater plants and animals.
Wednesdays, 6-8pm at Knitty City after hours
Bring one of your many Works in Progress and hangout and meet fellow crafters in the store after hours. There's no teaching after dark, but we'll keep the register open if you need to pick up any supplies.
Every Thursday EXCEPT the first Thursday of each month (Book Club Thursdays)
Meets in store, 6-8pm
We're bringing back in-store events, starting with a soft-opening of our weekly Men's Night on Thursdays. Bring your knitting, crochet, or spinning and join us for a casual after hours hangout at Knitty City. No reservations necessary.
Fridays, 5-6pm in front of Knitty City
Do you have a pile of clothes you've been meaning to fix? Why not sew on that button or patch that hole in the company of other makers and menders? Come to Mending Circle, where we will gather, share ideas about repair, extend the lives of our garments, and hopefully make a dent in that pile!
Mending Circle is intended as an informal time and space to connect over our projects. It is not an instructional class or a repair service. Please bring your own materials. There is no charge to participate, but any donations will go to Fashion Revolution, an nonprofit organization fighting for "a global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit."
Book Club meetings are held at Knitty City on the first Thursday of each month.
The Knitty City Book Club is unable to accept new members at this time.
If you are interested in being on a waiting list, please use the Google Group link below.

After a failed apprenticeship, working her way up to head housekeeper of a posh London hotel is more than Sara Smythe ever thought she’d make of herself. But when a chance encounter with Theodore Camden, one of the architects of the grand New York apartment house The Dakota, leads to a job offer, her world is suddenly awash in possibility—no mean feat for a servant in 1884.

After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.
Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.
