What makes the GTYT so special?
The Great Tennessee Yarn Tour is a one-of-a-kind experience that builds a deeper connection between fiber enthusiasts, local yarn shops, and the craft and culture of Tennessee. Each participating shop offers a completely unique experience to visitors -- from the rolling hills of alpaca farms to contemporary urban settings to small town charm.
​
We believe in crafting an adventure that you will love. When you participate in the Great Tennessee Yarn Tour, there's no pressure to visit a certain number of shops in a certain amount of time. You can visit as many or as few shops as you like; you can use the entire month to Tour around or try to fit it all in one weekend. The most important part is that you enjoy your time! Just like every shop is different, every Tourist's Yarn Tour experience will be different.
​
If you like to have fun, make new friends, talk to interesting people, and see all sorts of yarns and fibers, then this event is for you!
