Let's honor the creativity through craft, which brings comfort and connection on this I Love Yarn Day. During October, crafters come together to celebrate the rhythm of loops and love, not only that mindful creators share their creations, learn new skills, and inspire fellow crafters to join yarn vibes with their knitting needles or crochet hooks. In this blog, let's find out why crafters should celebrate it and different ways to enjoy it.
Story Behind I Love Yarn Day
It is a festival, founded by the Craft Yarn Council, which began a movement, 'I Love Yarn Day', that honors the thread by binding the imagination. A celebration of community, tradition, and expression through the language of crafting. This day is celebrated on every second Saturday of October; crafters love to share their latest creations and host meetups. An experienced one can look back on all the projects they have made and feel proud of them. With Lantern Moon's wooden knitting needles, let's celebrate the joy of creation and artistry.
Why This Day Matters?

- As you know, it celebrates community, so crafters are never alone and inspire you to create one more row.
