Park Avenue Yarnworks specializes in crochet accessories and novelties.  Gold Star VA will have vintage tees for sale while team Labor Power(s) will sell their own Stigma T-shirts pictured below.

Other wearables include B is for Bead’s handmade jewelry. Both Soft Web Collective and Team Pelvis Costello will be selling plant starters and other homemade items.

Other merchandise for sale this Saturday includes embroidery, subversive cross-stich and zines. Stand up for your pro-choice values and come out this Saturday to Rag and Bones where you can support local artisans and reproductive healthcare at the same time.
