About Me

Set up in March 2007, Cardiff based Yarn and Yarn collects people who like or would like to learn knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, cross stitch, and more. We gather from 7.30pm every other Tuesday to help each other out, show off our creations, chat over a drink, and generally have a lovely time whilst carefully constructing lots of pretty and very clever things. We most often alternate meetings between Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, and A Shot in the Dark cafÃ© on City Road in Roath but sometimes we try other places.

Please come and join us! Either send us a message via myspace or facebook if you would like to know more, or just turn up at our next Yarn and Yarn gathering and say hi.

(we're on facebook too, just type "yarn and yarn" into the groups search box & you should be able to find us!)
