Lindsay and Rob at the Apple Yarn Over Yarn-Breaking Party - May 21, 2011

Seattle crafters Apple Yarn Over unveiled their new online store last Saturday before a live audience at the Victory Lounge. The kickoff celebration included live music by the band Locofoco, a yarn-cutting ceremony, and on-site sales of new products such as cuddly brontosaurus pillows, original Two Buck Books, giant teabags, crochet handicrafts, and functional art made from reclaimed and refurbished materials.

Apple Yarn Over, consisting of Seattle residents Lindsay Nessel and Robert Gilliam, got their start at Punk Rock Flea Market last December. The twice-a-year event brings together dozens of the most innovative local artisans and raises money for the Low Income Housing Institute. "We were so successful and received so much positive feedback, we decided to open an online store to complement our on-site sales," said Nessel.

The next Punk Rock Flea Market is Saturday, June 4, and Apple Yarn Over will be there selling new products at discounted prices. Punk Rock Flea Market is at the Belltown Underground Events Center at 2407 1st Ave. The event lasts from 10 AM to 8 PM and costs one dollar.

Apple Yarn Over's new online store is at appleyarnover.com

Based in Seattle, Washington, Apple Yarn Over brings you a plethora of unique handmade crafts, offbeat inventions, fine children's literature, functional art from reclaimed materials, and other quirky gifts.

All items at Apple Yarn Over are crafted with love by Lindsay and Rob. Our handmade goods provide a heartwarming, eye-catching alternative to boring mass-produced factory merchandise.

Apple Yarn Over loves recycling and the environment. We use local/domestic suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint and support the Seattle-area economy. We also promote sustainability by finding materials that have fallen out of use and giving them new life. We're always traveling to yard sales, thrift stores, and granny's attic in search of the highest quality vintage fabric, buttons, and other doo-dads to use in our products.
