Creativity – Yarn Punk can be portrayed in many different forms, but yarn is the staple ingredient! Find your self-expression through fiber; this can be created through crochet, knitting, and all other fiber arts. This is NOT limited to any sort of style, color scheme, medium, etc.
Community – Yarn Punk strives to be a community that does not discriminate against any types of persons. All races, sex, ages, and marginalized groups are welcome in this community. We are here to celebrate the differences of others through the shared love of yarn.
Mindset – Yarn Punk is meant to be an extension of who you are, whatever that may look like. Serving as a catalyst for individualism, this self-identity allows the confidence of going against the norm.
