Come sip and stitch with us at Fabbioli Cellars! Avoid the North Korean-style military parade and idiocy of the D.C. area on June 14th, by instead celebrating both Worldwide Knit in Public and Flag day with us. Entry to the event is free and there will be lots of lovely makers. We’ll be celebrating all forms of stitching in public at one of the indoor booths with some extra special notions. Since it’s also flag day, you bet we’ll have some prideful bags as well as some of our Survive 2025 collection as well as some summery specials.

Specifically, there will be tiny croissants, ice cream, and cheese stitch markers by Rochelle of Sassafras Knits, all of which coordinate with some limited fabrics we’ve gotten for this event.

When: 10am - 5pm on Saturday, June 14th aka Worldwide Knit in Public Day.

Where: Fabbiloi Cellars, 15669 Limestone School Road, Leesburg, Virginia. The event is in the "speakeasy," left of the tasting room and below the farmhouse. There is parking available onsite and we recommend carpooling with your favorite designated driver (be they a friend or ride service). Please drink (and knit) responsibly. Must be 21 or older to sit at the tasting counter.

Why: Because good wine, food, and fiber are the perfect way to celebrate crafting in public. Please remember, only you can prevent tipsy stitches and next day tinking. Overall event is organized and hosted by The Fiberists.

We are so excited that our new Science Is Real collection will be launching with one of our favorite local (Virginia) dyers, Cesium Yarn! We will pop in for a bit in the early afternoon, but this is really a chance for you to get to know their yarn. Trust us, you’ll never be the same. Not color confident? Cat and Penny are there to help you find your fade, come across a contrast, or discover something new.

When: 10am - 5pm on Friday, May 2nd. Tickets are for 2-hours at the indoor and outdoor vendors. (and there’s ample free parking!)

Where: The Arc at Market Street, a hop skip and a jump away from the shops and delicious restaurants of historic Frederick, MD. We recommend Tsunami, Isabella’s, or Agave for lunch.

Why: Because you deserve 2 hours for yourself, beautiful fibers, and a bag to carry it all home in.

Where to even begin with the fiber magic that Cat and Penny create? And what is magic really, other than science that we don’t understand yet? Of course we’re paraphrasing Arthur C Clarke there, but truly, their colors are stunning and their ethics and sustainability efforts are delightful in today’s climate. Learn more about their work and their adorable fur babies by visiting their website or following them on social media. We can personally vouch for their sock base, the colors really do glow, dk, and their fiber.

In the meantime, we are ecstatic to launch our first science collection with them, aboard their yarn truck, Ellie, in the outside area of Yarncentrick. Can’t make it? No worries, we hope to continue supplying them with atomic, quality bags in the future. Be sure to check out their events page to see when they’re coming to a town near you, or put your order in online.
