📍 Thomasville, GA
Last week I featured Boston Fiber Company and the gorgeous yarns they produced in-house and sourced from local vendors. This week, we’re taking a quick trip to Georgia to visit the Fuzzy Goat yarn shop in Thomasville, Georgia. Apart from the bright selection of yarns, they also have a great selection of community classes and programming if you’re in the area. They also support a variety of organizations that make a positive impact on their communities.
