We’ve invited some of your favorite designers and creators to join us for a series of online gatherings with Longmont Yarn Shoppe & our group of 36 collaborating Yarn Shops across North America. We call these: Fiberside Chats!
Launched in May 2020, Chats are one-hour Zoom sessions with special guests joining us to give a peek into their world. These designers & creators will discuss their unique path, creative processes, favorite techniques, latest projects, or whatever is inspiring them now. There will be opportunity for Q&A & other fun surprises like giveaways & pattern discounts for those who join!

Have a conflict in your schedule? Don't worry we've got you covered. Many of our guests are allowing Zoom recordings of their Chat. Whether the Chat will be recorded or not will be clearly stated for each event. Recordings will be available for 1 week after the chat, only to registered attendees.

Join us on an exciting virtual trip around the mills of Ireland!
In her book 'Contemporary Irish Knits', author Carol Feller took readers on a journey through Ireland's yarn mills. Now, she's bringing that journey to life in this engaging talk. We’ll explore the world of Irish yarn production, where each mill has a unique history and types of yarn. Get an inside look into the mills, hear their stories, and find inspiration for your own knitting projects. Did you know that knitting cables and traditional spinning techniques go hand in hand? Carol's passion for cables shines through in her designs, especially when paired with authentic Irish yarn. But our journey doesn't end there - we'll also delve into the resurgence of sheep breeds in Ireland.

We Appreciate Your Support
Fiberside Chats was borne as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and initial lockdowns. Our goal was to stay connected with our community of makers and creators while offering meaningful content through programs.
As we've moved forward, we've made new friends and learned together in this virtual world called Zoom. Suddenly, we had a way to share and be together from the safety and comfort of our couch, all the while being miles and sometimes continents apart. At our Fiberside Chats, the world becomes closer again, at least for an hour.
Please sign up for the Longmont Yarn Shoppe weekly email to stay in the know about upcoming guests.
