A yarn tasting is a fun and interactive event where makers get to "sample" different yarns before committing to a full skein or project—just like a wine or food tasting, but for fiber lovers!

Here's what typically happens at a yarn tasting:

• Participants receive mini skeins or sample cards of various yarns to try out. These might include different weights, textures, fibers, and colors from one or more brands.
  
• You get to swatch on-site—bring your favorite hooks or needles and test how the yarn feels, stitches up, and behaves.
  
• Learn about the yarns: Each yarn usually comes with info on fiber content, recommended uses, care instructions, and design inspiration.
  
• It's a social experience—attendees can share thoughts, favorite finds, and project ideas, making it a great community-building event.
  
• Perks often include special discounts, door prizes, exclusive colorways, or early access to new yarn lines.
  

Yarn tastings are perfect for discovering new favorites, meeting fellow fiber enthusiasts, and sparking creativity!
