LOCAL A-4 Tuesday, August 23, 2022 South Gibson Star-Times Yarn fans flock to Princeton By Janice Barniak SG Star-Times Editor editor@sgstartimes.com While the summer heat has only just loosened its grip, and people may complain it's too early for Christmas in the stores, when it comes to time-intensive handmade gifts — 'tis the season to start sup- ply shopping. That's what customers did this year at the PURL Indiana Yarn Crawl, which brought about 150 customers to Princ- eton's Little House of Yarn this weekend. Store owner Diana Christie said it's her second year partic- ipating in the regional crafting event, which invites crafters to purchase a passport and visit yarn-related locations across Indiana as they win prizes, dis- counts, and swag bags at the yarn shops. A special yarn-of-the-year is spun and dyed uniquely for the yarn crawl and each par- ticipating shop tries to show- case the annual special yarn in a project, the pattern of which they show off at the shop. This year, Christie show- cased the creamsicle orange gradient in a delicate shawl pattern. The yarn crawl is one of her biggest weeks of the year, drawing customers from as far away as Terre Haute, who wanted to know where else they could eat and shop in Princeton. People who do the yarn crawl also had a chance to meet alpacas and enjoy the yarn creation-to-pattern pro- cess over the course of a week around the state. When asked where she thinks the trends are going in crafting, Christie said she's seeing younger craft- ers who mostly crochet, who look for fun, quick projects, like hats, pocket scar ves, and accessories. Socks are also really popular to make right now. "I wear mine all winter. Store socks don't compare," she said. Food Inspection Reports Submitted by the Gibson County Health Dept.
