I Love Yarn Day

Spreading the good feeling people get from yarn and yarn-related crafts is what I Love Yarn Day (ILYD) is all about. And what better way for knitters and crocheters to spread that joy and pass on their love of the crafts than to teach others?

How to get involved

Imagine 1 million knitters and crocheters, each teaching 1 million more, all on the same day. Together, we can do this! We are calling all knit and crochet teachers, designers, bloggers, guilds, yarn groups, yarn shops and anyone that loves yarn to teach on ILYD!
