Yarn shop ‘pop-up’ helps Helping Hands

International Women’s Day is an annual event held across the nation to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

As a woman-owned business, Knot Another Hat owner Sarah Keller felt that the best way to celebrate International Women’s Day was to support a local agency that serves women. The shop will be open regular business hours (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.) on March 8, and 10 percent of all sales that day will be donated to Helping Hands.

Additionally, two Portland indie makers, Knitted Wit and JaMpdx, will be showcasing pop-up shops. Knitted Wit, a yarn hand-dyer, will have her “Colorways for a Cause” for sale, and JaMpdx will have their hand-made ceramics for sale, including mugs, yarn bowls, dishes, and more. Both visiting vendors will also be donating 10 percent of their sales to Helping Hands.
