Event Description

We invite you to participate in our community yarn project! All ages and skill levels are welcome to join us in this fun project that is also known as yarn storming or yarn bombing. Use your imagination to crochet, knit, or work with yarn to create unique colorful pieces of art that we’ll display throughout the library starting in June. In the fall, we will come together again to stitch the pieces together to create scarves and blankets to donate to those in need.

Don’t know how to crochet or knit? No problem! We’ll have resources to teach you and other yarn related projects that you can do.

Join us for this kickoff event on February 17 to learn more; to get a schedule of classes, patterns, projects, and ideas; and to get started. We will have yarn and crochet hooks on hand for you to use or bring your own.

Donations of acrylic worsted weight (size 4) yarn, crochet hooks, and knitting needles will be accepted from January 2-February 9 at the Adult Services Desks. Yarn donations do not need to be full skeins or matching dye lots. Leftover yarn from your past projects are welcome!
