As the crisp air of autumn settles in and the holiday season begins to take shape, the Craft Yarn Council is delighted to unveil Yarnsgiving, a new initiative that celebrates the joy of crafting and the spirit of giving. Running from I Love Yarn Day on October 12th to Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, Yarnsgiving is all about making and sharing handcrafted yarn projects with those around us and supporting charitable causes.
Embrace the Spirit of Giving with Yarn
Yarnsgiving is more than just a campaign; it's a call to action for crafters everywhere to embrace the tradition of handmade gifts. The theme, "making with yarn and giving to others," reflects the warmth and generosity of the holiday season, encouraging everyone to create beautiful, heartfelt items that can be gifted to loved ones or donated to those in need.
Get Creative with Yarnsgiving
Yarnsgiving features a diverse array of projects perfect for the Thanksgiving season. Whether you're an experienced crafter or just getting started, there’s something for everyone:
Charming Pumpkins: Add a festive touch to your home décor with knitted or crocheted pumpkins.
Cozy Wine Bottle Cozies: Make your holiday gatherings even more special with cozy and stylish wine bottle wraps.
Elegant Leaf Garlands: Decorate your space with beautiful, handcrafted leaf garlands.
Stylish Napkin Rings: Enhance your Thanksgiving table with personalized napkin rings.

And more!
