🧶 Yarn & Whiskey Pop-Up + Griot Circle 🎉
Why: Because knitting in public is better with bold prints, great company, and a whole lot of inspiration!
Bring your WIPs, your stories, and your fiber love—we can’t wait to see you on Saturday, June 14 for a joyful celebration of fiber, fashion, and community as we host a special pop-up event featuring the bold and brilliant Tammi Williams, founder and designer of Yarn & Whiskey!
Known for her vibrant, Ankara prints and impeccably handcrafted project bags, Tammi brings a fresh, fearless aesthetic to the fiber arts world. After her exclusive appearance at Miss Purl in 2022, she’s back in Chicago—this time with her own original fabric designs and a stunning new collection that blends culture, color, and creativity.
🌟 Special Feature: Griot Circle: In the spirit of honoring those who stitched love into every loop, we invite you to participate in our Griot Circle. Bring a cherished item—a hat, scarf, blanket, or sweater—that a loved one knit or crocheted for you. Share the story behind it and help us lift up the legacy of the ancestors and makers who wrapped us in warmth, care, and creativity. This is our moment to celebrate the hands that made us feel seen, safe, and stylish.

A curated selection of Yarn & Whiskey’s newest handmade project bags and accessories
