2026 Bay Area Yarn Crawl!

Support Local Makers: Pacifica’s Royal Bee Yarn Joins the Bay Area Yarn Crawl

Pacifica’s creative community will have a special reason to celebrate this March as Royal Bee Yarn takes part in the Bay Area Yarn Crawl, happening March 13–22, 2026.

The annual event invites knitters, crocheters, and fiber enthusiasts to explore independent yarn shops across the Bay Area. For Pacifica residents, it’s also a chance to support a beloved local business that has become a hub for creativity and community.

A Creative Hub in Pacifica

Located along Palmetto Avenue, Royal Bee Yarn offers a welcoming space for anyone interested in fiber arts—from longtime knitters to beginners picking up their first skein of yarn.

Inside the shop, visitors will find:

  • A carefully curated selection of high-quality yarns

  • Knitting and crochet tools for all skill levels

  • Project kits and patterns

  • A warm, community-centered environment where makers can connect

Royal Bee Yarn has become known locally not just as a store, but as a gathering place where people share ideas, learn new skills, and celebrate the art of handmade crafts.

What the Bay Area Yarn Crawl Is All About

The Bay Area Yarn Crawl is a 10-day celebration of independent yarn shops across Northern California. Participants visit multiple shops throughout the region, discovering new yarns, meeting fellow makers, and collecting stamps on a bingo-style crawl card.

Completing patterns on the card can earn participants entries into prize drawings filled with yarn, tools, and fiber-related goodies. But for many participants, the real highlight is exploring local yarn shops and meeting the people who keep the craft community thriving.

Why Supporting Local Yarn Shops Matters

Small, independent yarn shops like Royal Bee Yarn play a vital role in keeping fiber arts accessible and vibrant. Unlike large retailers, local yarn stores often provide:

  • Expert advice and personalized help for projects

  • Classes and workshops for new and experienced makers

  • Carefully sourced yarns from independent producers

  • Community spaces where people gather to craft together

Events like the Bay Area Yarn Crawl highlight these businesses and encourage people to shop local while celebrating creativity.

Stop By During the Crawl

If you’re in Pacifica—or exploring the Coastside during the crawl—Royal Bee Yarn is a perfect stop. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next project or simply curious about the world of fiber arts, the shop offers a welcoming place to start.

PCT gives a big congratulations to Ian Butler for producing his 100th show! This special episode of Laugh Locally will be a big reunion party full of laughter and fun as they flash back to all the great memories they've had.

The original Laugh Locally began over 10 years ago but as Ian matured so did his content. He then created a show called Wavelength years later, a topical show, with more serious and mature topics. However, Ian decided to have fun and celebrate his 100th episode with Pacific Coast Television. He will have refreshments for his live studio audience to add along to the excitement. 

If you're interested in being a member of the live studio audience, please call PCT at (650) 355-8000 to RSVP. The show will be taped LIVE at Pacific Coast TV on 540 Crespi Drive, Unit E at 8 PM on August 27.
