PORTLAND — Dublin Bay Knitting Company, famous for its lovely Irish yarns and legendary Rose City Yarn Crawl tea feast, is relocating to Montana in April.
“We are sad to leave Portland, but so excited to embark upon a new adventure,” store owner Tricia writes. “Dublin Bay will be re-opening this summer in a temporary space in … wait for it … Anaconda, Montana. It’s a sweet little town with no yarn shop, can you imagine? … I know I am leaving you in good hands as there are many amazing yarn shops in Portland. I’ve been fortunate to get to know many of the other shop owners through the Rose City Yarn Crawl, and I hope to still be involved in some capacity. Maybe someone will want a solstice yarn pop-up shop or trunk show next year, who knows?”
This doesn’t affect this year’s Crawl. Dublin Bay will be open during the Crawl. After that, it’ll be closed Mondays and have amended hours and scaled-back lessons and orders as it prepares for its April 15 move. Its online store is open and will stay open.
“Dublin Bay and solstice yarn have enjoyed a wonderful 12 years in Portland, and we look forward to many more in Montana,” Tricia writes. “We hope you’ll visit us before we go, and of course, you are cordially invited to visit the new shop in Anaconda. We’ll keep you posted on our progress on our website, Facebook, and Instagram!”
