This Maine Yarn Shop Has Hundreds Of Choices You Won’t Find At Your Average Craft Store

More than 600 different yarns sit under one roof at this family-run shop. That number made me do a double take. Most big craft chains can’t come close. The shelves go well beyond the usual suspects. Malabrigo, Cascade, and Berroco share space with yarns spun and dyed right here in Maine. I like how local fiber farms get real shelf space next to the famous names.

Chesapeake Bay Menhaden Catch Cap Hits Record Low, But Foundation Says Coast Still Not Safe

Fisheries regulators voted Wednesday to slash the Chesapeake Bay's menhaden catch cap to the lowest level on record, cutting the Bay limit by about one-third over the next two years while also trimming the coastwide catch allowed from Maine to Florida.
