🧶✨ Yarn… What Can’t It Do? ✨🧶

Yarn—where does it come from? What can you make with it? The real question is… what can’t you create? 😄

Here at the Senior Center, we have a wonderful group who gather to knit, crochet, and spin a few yarns of their own while creating some truly amazing projects. From cozy blankets to beautiful handmade treasures, inspiration is always in the air!

📅 Tuesday, September 8, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just enjoy relaxing with needlework and good conversation, we would love for you to join us 💛

Bring along: 🧶 Your current project
🪡 Past creations to show off
😊 Or just yourself and a willingness to enjoy great company

Come for the crafting, stay for the fellowship, and enjoy a morning filled with creativity, conversation, and a few good stories along the way!
