Yarn Swap and Knitting Social

-
Bob Harkins Branch

Bring your unused, high-quality yarn and swap it with other crafters, then work on your unfinished fibre arts projects at the knitting social. In partnership with 2026 Great Northwest Fiberfest.

Want to drop off your yarn ahead of time? The downtown branch of the library will accept yarn swap items from August 10-14, 2026 during open hours at any service desk.
