We had a blast last weekend with 21 women from all across North America at the Koigu Farm. We know many of you wish you could have been there, so I’ll be sharing a quick behind the scenes recap on the event.
Koigu Destination Yarn Shops!
Our Koigu Travel guide for your next exotic knit-cation!
Having a Local Yarn Store nearby that you frequent almost exclusively is the best! You know exactly where all of your favourite yarns are (like Koigu, of course), the shop owner knows your name and asks how your most recent project is coming along, etc. So lovely!
But what if you're going on a trip, you want to explore, and you still need your dose of Koigu yarn shops and fiber cuddling?!
We have Koigu all over the world and so many of our shops are in beautiful locations! Here a handful of them, along with a stunning spot to include in your trip to each city with a Koigu yarn shop!
