Announcing: The Vendors for Nash Yarn Fest 2026
Dear everyone in search of a good time next April 17-18,
It feels absolutely amazing to be sharing this news with you.
With all the joy in the world, we proudly announce the vendors who will be attending Nash Yarn Fest 2026.
It’s going to be a rare and beautiful village of makers. This group—coming from more than 30 states, Canada, and the UK—is going to bring so much: their handmade goods, their energy, and their love of getting together.
We encourage you to visit their sites now so you can connect with them. You’ll find links to all these good folks right here.
What’s Ahead?
We are working like mad on further details for Nash Yarn Fest, so please stay tuned. Sign up for our NYF newsletter here for all the festival news as it breaks.
Coming soon:
The schedule of events. We’re expanding the hours to run all day Friday as well as Saturday.
We’ll have speakers and demonstrations all day Friday and Saturday.
A big, music-rich Friday night party that will let you dance the night away and also knit the night away. Vendors and attendees will be able to attend.
The launch of the truly amazing Nash Yarn Fest Getaway—our very special four-night Nashville trip planned by the delightful Patti Odinak. Last year’s NYF Getaway was a quick sellout, so if you’re curious, please watch for that.
There’s one more idea we’re working on that we can’t quite spill yet, and it may not happen. But what would it be like if there were an entire boutique hotel full of knitters? Would that be a good idea?
Love,
Ann and Kay
I went to Stitches West for many years. Stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara California, and I will never forget the evenings there. The lounge was filled with knitters, martini and one hand knitting in the other. How could it get any better than that!? Obviously, a hotel full of knitter sounds like an GREAT idea to me!
So much fun to look through the sites of the vendors! However, the link for SMART Art and Craft Supplies takes you to another site.
It should link to SMART Art now!
My husband and I (both knotters) are very much looking forward to coming to Nashville in early October to join knitters at the Gilmore Hotel! Thank you, MDK, for arranging a block of rooms for all of us to enjoy!
Not knotters! Knitters!!
Yes!!
Crocheters are not mentioned. Is this a closed activity open only to knitters?
A boutique hotel for knitters at Nash Yarn Fest??? Sign me up!!!!
