Stitch n' Craft Night at AriYARN – Park Ridge Fiber Meetup

🧶✨ Stitch n’ Craft Night (FREE) — AriYARN Shop & Studio | Park Ridge, IL (Near Chicago)

Looking for a free knitting meetup or free crochet meetup near Chicago? Join us every week at AriYARN Shop & Studio, a modern neighborhood yarn shop and community studio in Park Ridge, IL. This is a friendly, inclusive space for fiber artists to relax, stitch, and connect—whether you’re brand-new or have years of experience.

This is a social meetup (not a class). Bring your current WIP, grab a seat, and enjoy the cozy community vibe at your own pace. We encourage peer-to-peer chatting and sharing, but staff won’t be available for one-on-one teaching during the meetup. If you’d like dedicated help, ask us about private lessons or our classes/workshops. 🧵💬

🫶 A welcoming fiber arts community (knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, embroidery & more)
🛋️ Open Stitch Lounge seating for relaxed project time
🔁 Optional yarn swap table + show-and-tell inspiration
💡 Casual conversation, encouragement, and friendly maker energy (no pressure)
🧾 In-store shopping available during the meetup

🍪 Food & beverages (please read)
