Each year the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild has a weekend-long event called Yarnover held in the Twin Cities metro area. Prestigious local and national instructors teach a variety of courses and fiber vendors fill the Yarnover Marketplace. Classes are open to members only, but the marketplace is free and open to the public.

One of the primary benefits of belonging to the Minnesota Knitters' Guild is early registration for Yarnover classes! Make sure your dues are current by December 31st, 2021 so you can qualify for early registration. You must be a member of the Guild to attend the Yarnover dinner or take classes. For the most up-to-date information on Yarnover 2022, join the Guild for email updates. 

You can also get updates through our Ravelry group, Facebook page and Twitter.
