Trunk Shows
Black Locust Farm often hosts trunk shows by independent dyers. Destination Yarn, Purl Talk, and Zee Zee Textiles have all visited with trunk shows in the last year. Destination Yarn will be returning this fall (2025) for a trunk show. Watch our socials and blog for dates and details.
Yarn Tours


We participate in the Heartland Yarn Adventure in the summer and the Yarn Discovery Tour in September. These events also include the premiere of shop exclusive colorways by our favorite indy dyers.
We observe Local Yarn Store Day in April and Worldwide Knit in Public Day in June, celebrating with special yarn, patterns, and giveaways.
Knit the Rainbow
Every October, we ship a package to Knit the Rainbow, a non-profit organization that provides handmade items to help homeless LGBTQ+ youth survive brutal winters in large cities, including New York, Chicago, and Detroit. Need yarn for this project? Cathy will provide it at no cost
