And so many of us knew this would happen, because we know where our supplies come from.

Knitters, crocheters and other yarn enthusiasts are feeling the ripple effects of President Trump’s repeal of a tax exemption for low-value imports.

Crafters face higher prices, delivery delays and supply issues.
Knitters snagged by tariffs, as yarn brands pause shipments to U.S.
At least a half dozen European brands suspended deliveries after the de minimis exemption ended, leaving crafters to contend with higher prices and supply issues.
