New trunk show Coming soon
Cozy Color Works arrives June 24th
The fabulous colorways of Cozy Color Works yarn will be arriving in the shop on Wednesday, June 24th. Hand-dyed by Sandy just across the river in southern New Jersey, Cozy Color Works is known for its range of splashy variegated yarns and coordinating tonals, as well as yarn for assigned pooling patterns and project kits. Plan to come check them out before they're on their way back out the door on July 10th!
Holiday Closure
We are closed on the Fourth of July
The shop will be closed on Saturday, July 4th, in honor of the USA's 250th birthday.
Need a refresher on exactly how crazy/brave the dudes in the picture were during that sweltering Philly summer? Watch the musical "1776" - it's free to stream on Tubi. Never seen it? Delaware's own John Dickinson and Caesar Rodney are key players, and you'll hear the line that Lin Manuel Miranda lifted for his own founding father show. The last four minutes are...oh, just watch it and allow yourself to be moved.

the gift that always fits
Need a quick and easy gift for the yarn lover in your life?
The Ministry of Yarn has gift cards! They're perfect for when you want to support your person's hobby, but it's better for everyone if they get to choose their own materials.
Cards can be set up for any denomination from $10 to $500, and they never expire. Stop by the shop or call 302-294-6078 during business hours, and we'll hook you up! If you purchase by phone, we are happy to mail the gift card to you or directly to your recipient.
