Celebrating I Love Yarn Day- How it Started and What is Means Now?

The celebration for I Love Yarn Day started in 2011. It was the ideal of the Craft Yarn Council (CYC) to promote yarn crafting, through social media, special events, and activities that bring the crafting community together. Since then, celebrations have grown, happening all over the globe. Yarn artists share their love for yarn, post projects online, organize charity events, and even host “yarn bombs” where public spaces are decorated with knitted and crocheted art. Over the years, I Love Yarn Day has helped introduce more people to the world of knitting, crocheting, weaving, and other yarn crafts.

5 Project Ideas for I Love Yarn Day

There’s nothing like curling up under a handmade blanket during the chilly winter months. If you're thinking of making one, go for Bella Yarn. Soft, warm, and made from extrafine merino wool in worsted-weight, makes it the perfect choice for a cozy blanket.

Use simple stitches like garter or moss stitch to let the yarn's beauty shine through. The rich colorways available in Bella Yarn will make your blanket both functional and stylish.
