The Davis Square Community

Yarn. Fabric. Felt. Thread. Maybe you can have too much of a good thing? Time to refresh your stash and bring unwanted items to

the Nave Gallery’s Great Fiber Swap on Saturday, March 23rd,where you can donate items, swap with the community, and learn more about how you can get involved in the Wrap Around Project --a yearlong campaign to raise awareness of the issue of homelessness in our area.

What we need: We welcome yarn, fabric, thread, buttons, ribbon, knitting needles, and more. Items may be new or vintage, but must be usable. Anything left behind after the swap will be used to create items for the annual Wrap Around sale of handmade goods to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition, or used in upcoming public art installations throughout the Somerville. Items can be brought directly to the swap on Saturday, March 23, or dropped off at the Nave Gallery Annex in Davis Square on:

Tuesday, March 12, 6-8pm
Sunday, March 17, 2-5pm
Wednesday, March 20, 6-8pm
Thursday, March 21, 6-8pm

Another big weekend at the Nave before we take a short break and get ready for an even bigger 2013...

We'll have a Holiday Party on Sunday from 12-5 to celebrate a great year.  It's also the closing weekend of "Threads Bared--Art Inspired by Fiber," so please come on by to see some amazing local art and play in an enormous crocheted plastic bag installation.

And, to help you out in your last minute shopping, we are having a special closing sale to wrap up Wrap Around:  we'll have a 2-for-1 deal (scarves, hats, gloves...) with all proceeds supporting the Somerville Homeless Coalition.

Hope to see you!
