10 years
of Scraps & Skeins
This year, Scraps & Skeins proudly celebrates a decade of creativity, community, and compassion. Since opening our doors in 2014, we've been a haven for makers and crafters, offering affordable sewing, knitting, and quilting materials generously donated by our community.
More than a shop, Scraps & Skeins is a mission-driven business dedicated to supporting individuals with mental illness through meaningful employment opportunities. Together, we've fostered a welcoming space where creativity flourishes, sustainability thrives, and lives are positively impacted. Thank you for 10 amazing years of support!
To celebrate, we are hosting a Fiber Arts Showcase! This special event in May 2025 will mark our anniversary and provide an opportunity for our customers to showcase creations made over the past ten years using our upcycled materials.
Join us for the
Fiber Arts Showcase!
​Saturday
June 7th

The showcase will feature a vibrant collection of handcrafted pieces—quilts, sewn items, knitting, crocheting, and needlework—all created incorporating materials originally purchased from Scraps & Skeins. Each piece reflects the unique intersection of creativity and purpose that defines the shop’s mission: giving new life to donated materials and celebrating the artistry of reuse.
​
​The event is free and open to the public, with no RSVP required. Visitors are welcome to drop in anytime between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. to view the exhibits, meet the artists, and support Scraps & Skeins’ mission.
