Our Capsule webshop will be closed on Friday, January 30 in solidarity with the national shutdown and general strike in support of Minnesota, our country, and our communities.
Our Alexandria shop doors will be open for Stitch in Space from 10 AM – 5 PM so local folks can gather, connect, and support each other. Bring a project, stitch along, recharge, rage, and/or relax in the company of our crafting community.
Instead of shopping on Friday, we encourage you to direct your dollars to providing mutual aid to Minnesotans – we recommend donating to the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.
To contribute closer to home, we suggest directing your gifts of time, attention, and funding to Casa Chirilagua in Alexandria or other local organizations in your community.
We will reopen on Saturday, January 31 with our normal hours and classes. (After nearly a week of being closed or partially closed due to the ice storm, we will be delighted to welcome you back in-store and online for all your fibre shopping needs.)
We also encourage supporting our fellow yarn shops in Minnesota, as they navigate operating businesses just like ours in communities experiencing ongoing oppression, fear, and the threat of violence. (Some suggestions: Amazing Threads, Dandelion Fiber Co., Harriet & Alice, Knit & Bolt, MUSE2320 Fiber Co., Needle & Skein, The Yarnery.)
Stay safe, stay salty.
