🚨 You need to know

Old Town crafting store fibre space (1319 Prince Street) is hosting its annual “samples sale” to benefit local nonprofit Friends of Guest House.

While the store typically only sells yarn and other raw materials, the samples sale is one of the few opportunities to buy hand-knitted and crocheted items from the store. The sale runs from noon to 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday).

“We do this once a year and it’s become a big hit since ppl always want to buy our shop samples and they aren’t usually for sale,” said owner Danielle Romanetti.

The sale includes items handmade by locals but never worn and donated to the store.

The sale is part of Spring2Action, an annual charity event in Alexandria. All proceeds go to Friends of Guest House, a local organization that helps women reenter the community after incarceration.
