This is an awesome idea, but when I tried to use the site just now, I got error messages: “Oops! For some reason we could not process your request. Please try again later. If this persists, please contact us at bugs@socialmapping.org.” I tried to send a bug report to that email address, and the mail bounced! Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Had no problems with my searches. This is a terrific way to find yarn shops that locals love! Fast response and easy navigating. Information updated by users and GoogleMaps, so start adding your local faves!

Hi,
I was wondering if you might consider adding our website, Yarnplaces.com to your list of knitting resources. We offer current nationwide maps of yarn shops, fiber farms and all sorts of knitting and crochet events (festivals, markets, expos, retreats, yarn crawls, cruises, workshops, etc.)
Please let me know if you have any questions about our site.
Thanks,
Cindy Pilon
