YarnCon

YarnCon is a free-admission fiber arts festival in Chicago, with vendors spread across multiple floors of a single venue. Independent dyers, yarn companies, and fiber arts businesses sell directly to you, no registration or ticket required. Just show up and browse. The free, no-barriers format and the concentration of indie vendors under one roof make this one of those events where you walk in to look around and walk out with a bag full of yarn you didn't know you needed.
