What's a Yarn Tour?
The Great Tennessee Yarn Tour is a month-long celebration of yarn and fiber, our creative community, and all of the amazing things a local yarn shop has to offer. Over the course of August, Tourists are encouraged to visit participating Yarn Tour shops in person and discover what each shop has to offer, from luxurious yarns and notions to art supplies, handmade gifts, and much more! Grab your yarn friends and plan a road trip through Tennessee's finest local yarn shops. Along the way, you'll see beautiful scenery, meet interesting people, make lasting memories, and of course - end up with miles of yarn!
