The Madtown Yarn Shop Hop is an annual event spanning four days to celebrate our local fiber communities and support small, locally-owned businesses.

Pick up your passport and first stamp at Lodi Alpacas Uptown, then visit Flaxen Fleece in Sauk City for a stamp. You will receive an exclusive shop hop button just for visiting these two shops, as well as being entered into a SEPARATE drawing and qualifying for other amenities. Then map out the rest of your weekend taking a free, self-guided tour of 12 more yarn shops, fiber farms and mills across south-central Wisconsin, qualifying you for even more prizes.
