Announcing: Nash Yarn Fest at Home

Dear friends,

Maybe you’re going to be home on Saturday, April 18. Maybe you’d like to tap into what’s going on at Nash Yarn Fest from the comfort of your favorite knitting chair.

Welllllll, have we got something for you.

We’re going to create for you the first-ever Nash Yarn Fest at Home.

Live from the Fairgrounds in Nashville, it’s a professionally produced livestream during the biggest gathering we’ve ever created.

The delightful Samantha Brunson will be your host for the day, bringing you a full day of Nash Yarn Fest.

Beginning in the morning and running until the end of NYF, you’ll enjoy live talks from people we admire so much: Natalie Chanin, Franklin Habit, Jeni Hankins—plus Patty Lyons and Jeanette Sloan!

Between the talks, Samantha will be roaming the event, visiting with the wonderful artisanal vendors. External Link. Opens in new window. who have come from all over the country to Nash Yarn Fest.
