Vendor Invitation: Knitting by the Sea Retreat Marketplace

We invite fiber artists, yarn shops, designers, and related businesses to apply for the Knitting by the Sea Retreat Vendor Marketplace, held on Saturday, March 21, from 12:00–4:00 PM.

The marketplace is open to retreat attendees as well as local and regional knitters and fiber enthusiasts from Virginia and North Carolina, making this a fantastic opportunity to reach a highly engaged fiber community.
