Each year the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild hosts a weekend-long event in the Twin Cities metro area called Yarnover. Prestigious local and national instructors teach a variety of courses, fiber vendors fill the Yarnover Marketplace, and knitters come together from all over for a weekend of fun.

Yarnover 2022 Key Details

• It will be held Friday, April 29 - Sunday, May 1.
• Friday evening - Yarnover Dinner, shawl contest, and keynote address by Kim McBrien Evans
• Saturday - Yarnover marketplace and classes.
• Saturday night - Yarn Bingo
• Sunday morning  - April Minnesota Knitters' Guild member meeting with Stacie Shavez 
• We will be at the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West in Plymouth.

We will be requiring that those who go to the dinner or take classes be fully vaccinated and provide us with a vaccination card. We feel this is safest for everyone and what many of the teachers have requested. As for other restrictions for Yarnover, health and safety protocols (masks, social distancing, capacity restrictions) will be implemented on an as-needed basis based on the local conditions at the time of Yarnover. We understand that pandemic conditions can change very rapidly, and we are committed to tailoring our safety strategies based on what is required and recommended at that time.

One of the benefits of belonging to the Minnesota Knitters' Guild is early registration for Yarnover classes! For the most up-to-date information on Yarnover 2022, join the Guild for email updates.
