Opportunities for Discounts and Prizes

Concessions

Step up to the Stitcher’s Concession Stand!
Treat yourself to a mouthwatering lineup of self-striping yarns or regular colorways, paired perfectly with fiber-friendly sides and surprise goodies. When you pre-order your "combo" during registration, you’ll score a special discount and first pick at the stand!

Each Concession Combo includes:

1 “Main Event” hank of self-striping, or regular sock yarn
2 “Side Snacks” (minis)
3 “Surprise Treats” (fun, stitchy extras—our version of crackerjack prizes!)

Choose one or two combos to keep your project bag deliciously full—no lines, no waiting, just pure fiber indulgence.

Yarn Dyeing Experience

Unleash your inner dyer and create your very own custom skein of sock yarn!
This hands-on experience includes all the supplies and step-by-step instructions you’ll need to bring your color vision to life. Whether you're a first-time dyer or just looking for a fun, fiber-filled adventure, you'll leave with a skein (or two!) that’s uniquely yours.

M & M Sew Charming—hobby dyers extraordinaire—who will share their favorite tips, tricks, and dyeing secrets to help you recreate the magic at home.

Choose to dye one or two skeins during the event, and walk away with colorways as vibrant as your creativity. If you'd like to dye two skeins, you may choose on the day or send us an email to amend your registration.
