I had a very rare and unique opportunity to attend the TNNA convention here in Phoenix for one spectacular day. A very warm and special thank you to Karen Sadow, owner of One Planet Yarn and Fiber, who generously offered to give me a badge so that I could attend this event. I had a blast tagging along with Karen and Terri, owner of the Fiber Factory of Mesa, all day on Saturday. I can honestly say I was in pure heaven and cannot believe that I as able to see so many gorgeous skeins of yarn, braids of fiber, needles and accessories all underneath one roof! It was almost overwhelming.
Since I was there for only one day, but took so many photos and met so many wonderful people, I’m going to do a four-part series of my experience at TNNA. This is for a couple of reasons, one, there is some much to tell you about and two, there are a few folks that just need a post dedicated to them.
It was very exciting to be able to finally see and even touch a few of the fibers I have heard about and that have received great reviews. There were also fabulous hand-knits that had been knitted up for samples to show case these wonderful fibers, and many were simply amazing.
Each photo that follow will have the company name and simply click the photo to be taken directly to their website.
Are you ready for a fiber adventure? If so, here we go!!!
Norah Gaughan was hosting a fun event, a knitting bar where you could sample the new lines by Berroco Yarn. After you knitted a bit, you could take one of the containers that contained samples. Norah was a lot of fun and was enjoying all the knitters that were gathering around. She was also a good sport when I asked her if I could take a photo.
There are many more photos to share but I will save those for another day. Until next time, happy knitting, crocheting, spinning and crafting!
