Stitch & Story 2026: A Year of World Folktales
with Marni

Stitch & Story Club is The Yarny Way’s cozy online gathering for fiber lovers who love a good story. 

*** Starting in April, Stitch & Story will have a small $5 fee to participate. ***

Each session takes time to prepare, and there are ongoing costs for Zoom, audiobooks, and the tools that make the series possible. The fee helps support those expenses and allows me to continue offering the series each month in a steady way.

I want Stitch & Story to remain a quiet, welcoming space to listen and make together. If the cost makes it difficult for you to join, please reach out. I want the door to stay open.
