I'm Ana, the owner of Circle of Stitches in Salem, MA. We are a witchy yarn store that has been in business since 2015.

At the end of 2024, we were forced to move to a new location that required extensive remodeling. Then 6 weeks in, on February 19, our shop was flooded by a burst pipe. We ended up with standing water in the entire store.

We hoped we would recover from this quickly, but the amount of damage just keeps growing. We've had to completely rip up our floors and cut away drywall along all the exterior walls. We've even discovered a leak in the facade, which is allowing water to freely flow into the space.

As of right now, we are looking at larger and larger bills, and no guarantee of when we can reopen. Our insurance is only covering some of our losses.

Thankfully we were able to save most of our inventory, so online sales are still open. Members of our community have been asking for a GoFundMe, so here it is. We really need your help, as we are looking at several weeks and possibly months before we can reopen our physical location.
