Keep String Thing Studio Open
Donation protected
Who will benefit? - The fiber community at large, but specifically the Black Fiber community. Black yarn shop owners are far and few in between. StringThing Studio is the only Black owned yarn shop in NYC and we want the shop to continue to exist.
What will the funds will be used for? - To pay the rent and prepare to make the changes to be compliant so the shop can re-open.
How soon do you need the funds? - As soon as possible.
What does this support mean to me? - This will mean the world to me. My people have shown support already but at this particular point it will be monumental. To step up at this time means you not only support String Thing Studio, but you are also supporting this Black woman, this Black business owner. I need the community if I am to keep String Thing Studio alive and would be devastating if the shop is lost.
I will be so eternally grateful to continue to build this space that is so welcoming, so inclusive and open to all craft levels. I will be most grateful to continue to shine a light for other Black owners to follow their dreams. String Thing Studio is more than a yarn shop, it’s family.
