Happy Juneteenth! We are closed today in observance of the holiday.

Our Alexandria neighborhood is at the heart of Black American history. With so much history to explore in the mile around our shop, we encourage you to use this holiday to learn more about Alexandria's Black History and participate in some local Juneteenth celebrations & rememberances.

Alexandria played a role in everything from the very beginnings of the transoceanic slave trade to the forefront of desegregated public schools. 1315 Duke Street, now called the Freedom Museum, was once owned by Franklin and Armfield, the largest domestic slave trading firm in the US. During and after the Civil War, Alexandria was held by the Union and became a safe haven for those who escaped enslavement. In the summer of 1939, lawyer Samuel W. Tucker organized a peaceful protest at the whites-only library at 717 Queen Street.

Our city is rich with ways to learn about our history, visit Alexandria.gov for information and resources, visit the incredible Black History museum at 902 Wythe Street, and book a walking tour with @manumissiontour to learn about our important local history.

Meet the newest addition to our crew & help us welcome Jackson! Jackson learned knitting as a child but quickly lost interest before picking it back up in 2012. She loves experimenting with yarn dyeing and has launched her own indie hand-dyed yarn company, @stellalunafiberco! If she's not working with yarn in one way or another you can find her spending time with her Golden Retriever, Stella, or getting lost in a good book. Visit us in space to give her a warm welcome!
