Found it. Self identified political activist, Ellie Boylan, is one of the owners of the Red Hen Restaurant and the House Mountain Yarn shop. But all this bunch is in deep.

Ellie Boylan - “Protest signs with knitted embellishments that have been spotted both in Lexington and Washington, DC. Ellie Boylan has been knitting since 2003, and learned to crochet from her Mexican grandmother when she was a child. Accomplished at both, she shares her knowledge, teaching children and adults. Ellie rarely knits for herself as her projects are frequently for charity or yarn bombs. In addition to being a partner in HMYC, Ellie works part time at W&L as an IT Fluency Coordinator. She and husband Scott have lived in Lexington since 1999 and are proud adoptive parents to a daughter”
Susan Friski - “She and her husband, Mike, would talk about retiring and finding a place to relocate and just maybe become a small business owner. Well, that dream has come true and she didn’t even have to relocate! Susan is a retired teacher and administrator for the public school system here in Rockbridge County. In addition to her professional duties, she taught countless children to knit”

We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy.” This is Wilkinson’s husband’s twitter. Interestingly he uses yarn as his picture.

Re Yarn derps:
Great digging!
Amazing how a minority of socialists work together to dictate to the majority. We are seeing it everywhere.
