✨ An Important Update Before We Begin ✨
Just two hours after we recorded this episode, Circle of Stitches—Ana Campos’ beloved yarn shop in Salem, MA—was devastated by a flood from a burst pipe in the unit above. The shop is now undergoing major repairs, undoing all of the hard work that went into relocating to its new space just months ago.
While they work toward recovery, Circle of Stitches is operating a pop-up shop at Ana’s Toil & Trouble dye studio, but the road ahead is long.
