August 28–30, 2026 | Warm & Wooly – North Branch, MN

Join us for a full weekend dedicated entirely to Tunisian crochet techniques, garment construction, and fiber exploration.

Tunisian Crochet Weekend is an immersive learning experience designed for makers who want to go deeper with Tunisian crochet while connecting with other passionate fiber artists. Over three days, you'll learn directly from expert designers, explore beautiful yarns through a guided tasting experience, and spend a weekend surrounded by creativity.

To keep the experience interactive and hands-on, attendance is limited to just 35 participants.

Whether you're looking to expand your skills, refine garment techniques, or simply spend a weekend making with others who love fiber as much as you do, this event is designed to inspire.
