Meet the Craft Yarn Council’s “Humans That Yarn”

The Craft Yarn Council’s fall campaign, Humans That Yarn, is here! CYC will be featuring six unique people throughout the fall who all craft with yarn and whose stories reflect the variety of people who identify as yarnists. They’ll also highlight several other people in the yarn community who have unique stories that anyone can relate to.

The point of the campaign is to spotlight the unique people behind yarn crafts, rather than focus on one specific type of project (like last year’s pompom party). Along with highlighting a variety of people, Humans That Yarn aims to showcase the different types of crafts that can be made with yarn.

Through social media interviews, videos, photography and blog posts, the campaign will increase interest and conversation about yarn crafts. The term “yarnist” will be introduced alongside the campaign to demonstrate that no matter how you use yarn, you are a “yarnist” (yarn artist).

For inspiration, ideas and tips for teaching others a new yarn craft, free patterns, yarn project ideas, giveaways and more, make sure to check out CYC’s social media pages, including Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Tag your posts with #humansthatyarn and #yarnist.
