Trunk Shows
Black Locust Farm often hosts trunk shows by independent dyers. Destination Yarn, Purl Talk, 1918 Yarn Company, and Zee Zee Textiles have all visited with trunk shows in the last year. Watch our socials and website for upcoming shows.
Trunk show with ZeeZee Textiles March 21
We’re so excited to host Rachel of ZeeZee Textiles and her gorgeous hand-dyed creations! We are such big fans of her work that we have commissioned Rachel to created exclusive color ways just for us, including our beloved shop color, Rock Your World in Lodi.
Even better, she is bringing more than yarn this time. Her other half, Nick, will be here with his food truck, Trail Dog Pizza. Yarn AND pizza? It’s a day you won’t want to miss!
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.
Yarny ‘Holidays‘
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
