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.

This Maine mountain has a 100-year-old tower and a view that inspired a famous poem

Camden Hills State Park spreads across about 5,500 acres in Midcoast Maine, just north of Camden, and Mount Battie is its crown. The summit rises nearly 800 feet, and from there the wooded slopes drop straight to Penobscot Bay. You can see the harbor, a scatter of islands, and on a clear day, Cadillac Mountain far off in Acadia.
