Breaking news, LoveCraft, the owner of WEBS, has been acquired by Missouri Star Quilt in a private transaction. https://lnkd.in/ebMS-SMb Consolidation in the industry continues. Madeline Tosh, while it continues to be perceived as a small local company out of Texas is owned by Jimmy Bean, the holding company that also owns ShiBui Yarns and several others. Maybe this is a good thing; more reliable supply chain for our local yarn stores, more reliable products for their customers? Time will tell.

Time to get out the vote and make a difference in our community of fiber artists.
I hope this post finds you enjoying a Happy New Year. I am posting today to ask you to nominate me for a Golden Scissor award at HHAmericas in the social impact category. You do not need to be a member of the Craft Industry Alliance or exhibitor at the trade show, any one can nominate anyone. It’s about making a difference one stitch at a time not which side of the table we may agree with or flag we fly. Here’s what I’ve been up to: Founding member of the team which got knittedhugs.org off the ground to source black worsted weight yarn to be distributed to volunteers to knit hats in Israel following the October 7th attacks. Over 100 kg of yarn so far from North America, South America and Europe. Coordinating fiber supplies for community groups to knit and crochet accessories the refugees need, over 300 hats so far Coordinating the collection and delivery of craft supplies and board games for refugees to find some relief through crafting and social engagement while they try to rebuild their lives, one stitch and hand at a time. I would appreciate your nomination and hope to see you at H+HAmericas this May. https://lnkd.in/eBTFvPwn -Rosann www.firstbytedesigns.com
