My wonderful Charlotte Yarn family,

I wanted to share some personal news that I know is hard to hear, but I also know you would want to know. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September. Hearing the word “cancer” is scary, but I want you to know that I am okay, and I will be okay. I am fortunate that it was caught early, and with treatment I have very strong odds of recovering and am very hopeful it won’t return in the future.

I’m preparing for surgery soon — a lumpectomy on Wednesday, October 28th. After that, the plan is chemotherapy and then radiation. Even with all of this ahead, I want you to know that I currently feel good and very positive about this journey that so many women face. It is an unfortunate journey, but many women come through it feeling healthier, stronger, more loved, and deeply appreciative of life and the people around them.

The Charlotte Yarn family has been hit hard these past few months, with the passing of our beloved Tasia and now my news. Life can be hard and cruel sometimes, but as long as we stay together, we can get through the rough times.

I’m not sure how often I’ll be in the shop over the next few months, but I’ll be there whenever I feel up to it. I kindly ask for your understanding, patience, and flexibility with any shop needs you may have. The staff is working together to make things easier for me, but they will also feel the pressure of my absence. Julie will carry most of the day‑to‑day responsibilities, so please allow her a little extra time to get back to you; she will be extremely busy and learning new things. We will also have newer staff on site who are still learning.

I am truly blessed to have such amazing customers. I know many of you will want to ask how you can support me. The only thing I can think of is to keep me and Ava in your thoughts and send positive vibes our way. There is nothing more you need to do; you’ve already supported me by helping make Charlotte Yarn what it is today.

Thank you all so much. I love every one of you.

Remi

P.S. I’ve cut my hair very short in preparation for starting chemotherapy. I wanted to share my new cut so it doesn’t catch you off guard when you see me in the shop. It’s a big change, and I know it can be surprising.

Last Knitter Standing Game

This game was created by Remi Haygood, our owner, and Sandy Harris, one of our instructors, right here at Charlotte Yarn. Makes a great gift and brings fun to any knit group, knitting retreat, or social gathering with knitting friends. Last Knitter Standing is a game with trivia and challenge cards in order to find the best knitter. Game includes a spinner to select which type of cards to draw, a sand timer, and four different types of cards. Players must supply their own needles and yarn which serves as each player's scoreboard, as well as being used for certain types of challenges. The player will spin the spinner, and one of the opponents will read the card of the type indicated. Trivia questions will have the player knit rows for correct answers, and rip out stitched rows (frogging, for knitters out there) for wrong answers. Some cards require challenges to add rows, such as knitting with eyes closed. Other cards involve words, such as scrambled words, or listing knitting terms, where the amount answered adds rows. Lastly, there are cards that mess with the other players, such as having to swap knitting with another player (remember that the knitting is the scoreboard), or to force another player to remove rows. The player with the most knitted rows at the end of the game wins. Will you be the Last Knitter Standing!?!?

Chemo Hat Campaign

We’re partnering again with Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute (LCI) to support adult cancer patients in our community.

Our LCI contact reached out to let us know that they are in need of more chemo hats, especially those made with super soft yarns. To help support their patients, we’re launching another Chemo Hat Campaign to boost their supply.

If you’d like to participate, here are a few ways you can help:

🧶 Knit or crochet an adult chemo hat that meets the requirements.

🧶 Donate yarn for another maker to use.

🧶 Spread the word to your fiber friends, guilds, or any groups who may want to participate.

Every hat makes a difference and is truly appreciated.

Awesome local yarn shop! The staff is extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They talked me down from some rather ambitious projects that most definitely would have been too much as a newly returned knitter re-exploring the world of knitting. They spent a ton of time showing...
