How does the yarn crawl tie in?
The festival is the kick-off event to the yarn crawl.
We will have a sip-n-share event at the conclusion of the month to come together and share all our adventures after the crawl.
Are tickets sold in advance?
🎟 No - tickets will be available only at the door.
What is “partner parking”?
Partner Parking, available all day Saturday, is a designated space for companions who may not be fiber-craft enthusiasts.
This space was created in response to direct feedback from last year!
This area offers a comfortable place to relax, read, scroll, or take a break from the crafting action while staying close by.
What is a “cozy chat”?
Cozy Chats are short, intimate talks with designers, makers, and special guests, held in a comfortable, welcoming space. Each chat lasts about 15–20 minutes and includes plenty of time for Q&A. Think crafting, creativity, and community — a fireside chat, FIBRuary style.
How does the raffle work?
Each paid attendee (18+) receives one raffle ticket upon entry.
Additional tickets will be available for purchase during festival hours.
Raffle prizes are donated by sponsors and partners, so the number of items and item value may vary.
Each prize will have its own labeled raffle box—you choose which items you want to enter for.
Winners will be announced at the end of the festival (around 3:45 PM EST on January 31, 2026).
Winners will be contacted using the info provided on their ticket (phone or email).
You do not need to be present to win.
Winners have until February 28, 2026 to arrange pickup. Shipping may be available at the winner’s expense.
What is a “yarn doctor”?
A yarn doctor is our friendly fiber expert - who’s ready to help you with all your crafting woes; such as -
Fixing mistakes
Pattern support
Project planning
Quick tutorials
Unique problems
This is a free service during the festival hours and it’s provided by local yarn store owners and some of the Indianapolis Knitting Guild members. Donations are optional and directly support the Indianapolis Knitting Guild.
What is a “yarn winding” station?
A yarn winding station is a free area equipped with umbrella swifts and ball winders where you can have your yarn wound during the festival. Many yarns are sold in hanks or skeins and aren’t ready to use right away—stop by after your purchase to get your yarn wound and cast-on ready for your next WIP.
This service is available during festival hours and is staffed by local yarn store owners and members of the Indianapolis Knitting Guild. Donations are optional and directly support the Indianapolis Knitting Guild.
Do I need to attend both days?
You are welcome to attend one or both days of the festival.
The main difference between Friday and Saturday will be our cozy chat speakers - see the schedule to plan which day(s) to attend.
Tickets purchased on a daily basis at the door only. Note: Our partner parking area will only be available on Saturday, January 31 during festival hours.
Is the event accessible?
The venue is wheelchair accessible. Service animals are welcome. If you have specific accessibility questions, contact us at fibruaryindy@gmail.com.
If a yarn crawl shop is also at the festival, can I get my crawl card stamped there?
No. Yarn Crawl stamps are only available at each shop’s physical location during the crawl dates. Even if a shop is participating in the festival, stamps won’t be given at the festival itself.
The crawl is designed to encourage visitors to explore the shops, spend time in each space, and support them directly.
