FRANKLIN, Tenn.—The owner of a Tennessee knitting store doesn’t want anyone buying its yarn for arts and crafts for the women’s movement, following weekend protests by marchers in knitted, pointy-eared hats.
The Tennessean newspaper reported that the comments Tuesday on the Facebook page of The Joy of Knitting store in Franklin drew thousands of responses—both support and vows of a boycott.
The social media post by Elizabeth Poe said that as a business owner and a Christian, she promotes values of “mutual respect, love, compassion, understanding, and integrity.” She called the women’s movement “counterproductive” to unity.
