Foundations in Fibre Arts Speaker Series presents…
Fibre Facts: Choosing the Right Yarn
with Fiona Stevenson
Want to set yourself up for stitching success? It all starts with the right yarn.
Join the always delightful and endlessly knowledgeable Fiona the Knitter as she kicks off the Foundations in Fibre Arts Speaker Series with a deep dive into the very thing that holds our projects together—yarn!
In this fun and informative talk, Fiona breaks down the essential fibre facts every maker should know:
🔍 What exactly is *fibre memory* and why does it matter?
🔍Why choosing the right yarn can make or break your project.
🔍 How standard yarn sizes work—and when to break the rules.
🥇 Plus: The pros and cons of different fibres and blends, and how to choose the best yarn for your pattern and purpose.
Avoid those heartbreaks that come after the bind-off. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned fibre artist, you’ll leave feeling confident and ready to match your yarn to your vision.
🎯 Bonus: Bring a pattern if you'd like yarn advice after the talk—Fiona's happy to help!
🎯 Extra Bonus: buy two spots to save 20%! You & your friend will have more money for yarn!
