5 Reasons Why Online Yarn Festivals are Popular.

If you’re a knitter, crocheter, chances are you’ve been to an in-person fiber festival and one of the best is Flock Fiber. It's in Seattle this weekend and we are sad to miss it.  

Have you ever experienced the magic of an online yarn festival? We're going to test the idea this weekend with just a few items and expand it September 5th and 6th with YarnFall. That weekend, we'll also be celebrating 18 years of Apple Yarns.

1. Shop from Home—No Travel Required

One of the biggest perks of an online yarn festival is skipping the travel. No flights, no hotels, no early morning wake-ups—just you, your favorite beverage, and your Wi-Fi connection. Whether you’re at home in your pajamas or sneaking in a browse between Zoom calls, the yarn comes to you.

2. Shop Exclusive Yarn Colorways & Kits

This weekend we have put together some of our festival favorites at special prices. In September, Yarnfall will offer exclusive products that are only available during the festival; limited-edition colorways, curated kits and early access. 

3. Skip the Crowds, Lines, and Overwhelm

For introverts or anyone who finds in-person crowds exhausting, an online yarn shopping event is a dream come true. No long lines, no overstimulation, just peaceful browsing at your own pace.

4. Shop Anytime, from Anywhere

Unlike traditional festivals with limited hours, you'll be able to shop early or late —whatever fits your schedule. No FOMO!

5. Yarn Delivered Right to Your Door

No need to carry around heavy bags of yarn or check your stash at the airport. Everything you purchase is shipped to your door; free shipping for orders over $100.
