UNION, NJ — Theresa Macklin, owner of Beyond Yarn in Union, hosted a knitting and crocheting class as a networking event for the New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners.
“The unique opportunity to combine learning to knit and crochet with a business networking event was very enjoyable,” said NJAWBO President Bertha Robinson. “We honed our knitting and crocheting skills, became aware of the importance of using high-quality yarn, got to know one another better and had some fun.”
Macklin opened Beyond Yarn in 2019. It is a minority woman-owned local yarn shop that provides quality yarn for crocheting and knitting as well as classes for beginners and experienced fiber artists. Macklin has also implemented a Community Care Initiative to help communities in need. Their efforts support the following nonprofits: Knit the Rainbow, Knitted Knockers, Knots of Love, Hats Not Hate, Children Specialized Hospital of NJ and the Elizabeth Coalition.
