Yarnfiti is an annual community-created art installation that started in 2017 to bring the fiber arts community together on a collaborative art project.  Knitters, crocheters, hand sewists, machine sewists, embroiderers, and macramé artists/community members join forces to craft individual pieces that will be displayed together into a collective masterpiece. Each creation represents the unique contributions of community members and reflects their stories, experiences, and connections.  The project fosters collaboration and unity as participants share their skills and ideas.  

This year's theme is Space.  This month's project is stars.
