Tennessee's close-knit fiber arts community

When you think about knitting, crocheting or any other fiber arts, you might recall your long-lost pandemic pastime. You might even think of an older relative who presented everyone with warm, homemade scarves each holiday season. Here in Middle Tennessee, the fiber arts community has been here long before the pandemic, and it caters to a much more diverse population than one might expect. Today, we're talking all about yarn. Locally, we have several local yarn shop options, including Haus of Yarn right here in Nashville and The Yarn Patch in Cookeville. There is truly something for all disciplines, skill levels and styles. We'll dive into the truly local yarn options, visit with some alpacas, talk about the differences between fiber arts and more.
