Question 1

Do I need to have experience?

Accepted Answer

Nope! All are welcome: makers, growers, spinners, weavers, artists, educators, neighbors, and anyone enthusiastic about local textiles or community craft spaces. Whether you're a pro weaver or just curious. Come to learn, dream, or just hang out.

Question 2

What is a Yarn Hall again?

Accepted Answer

A Yarn Hall is a creative, hands-on community gathering—part town hall, part fiber art jam session. It's a space to share ideas, learn about the tools we recently acquired in Burlington, and shape the vision for a community maker space focused on local fiber.

Question 3

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! And light refreshments will be served.

Question 4

What are the goals of the event?

Accepted Answer

Gather community input for a future textile maker studio. Build relationships across the fiber community. Explore what shared tools, workshops, or services might look like. Invite collective ownership of the space and process.

Question 5

Will there be more Yarn Halls?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is just the beginning. We’re building this slowly and together with input from people all over the Piedmont.

Question 6

I’m an experienced weaver—how can I use the new looms?
