Kick off 2025 with your favorite fiber friends at the Fiber Arts Frenzy Cozy Inn @ the Shop (for ADULTS!), happening January 4, 2025 from 5 PM to January 5, 2025, 9 AM! This exciting event will be held at Yarncom. Join Heather Swan, aka Yarn Queen, along with Katy Turbeville, aka Yarn Enabler, and Dean Turbeville, the Chaos Coordinator of the Yarn Adventure Truck. They will be joined by Q, the Chief Feline of The Foldout Cat, and Helena, Vice Pigmentologist of Oink Pigments. These fiber enthusiasts have crafted an evening like no other!
Have you wanted to spend the night in Your Local Yarn Shop? Well, grab YOUR Fiber Friend and lets have some fun! We will have fun Fiber Crafts to do or you can work on your own projects and have movies going in a quiet corner. And you can come in your jammies, bring your sleeping bag and be ready to spend the night and meet our Fiber Fairies that keep things running to do all the shopping. Want to leave at midnight and sleep in your bed? No worries! We will let you back in when you return in the morning.
Join the White Elephant Fiber Exchange! Each attendee is encouraged to bring one fiber themed gift with a retail value of at least $25. These items CAN come from your Stash! We ask that you wrap your item, and bring it at check-in. We will have some great fun with a good ol' fashion gift exchange!
We will provide a variety of snacks and non alcoholic beverages to be enjoyed as we get cozy in the shop with all the yarn and fiber fairies! We can do some needle felting, macrame, small amigirumi, or other make & take projects throughout the evening. We will serve up some yummy breakfast treats and coffee beginning at 7 AM to start your Sunday off fully loaded!

Your Hosts for the Event
The Early Evening / Morning Crew
Alexa Sparks is the Chief Operating Officer, Yarn Queen Wrangler, Knit Chick at Yarncom! She's been knitting since the pandemic and creates beautiful sweaters, samples for the shop, and fun gifts for those that are knitworthy!
Helena Bristow has been Vice Pigmentologist at Oink Pigments since its inception in 2010. She learned to crochet at age 4, and taught herself to knit when she started graduate school for the first time. She often jokes that “knitting stuck; grad school did not.” Helena has now dropped out of two different graduate programs because she would rather be playing with yarn. Helena can usually be found driving all over the country in her yarn van, to fiber festivals and local yarn stores.
Katy Turbeville is your Personal Yarn Enabler. Born and raised in Arkansas, she now travels the country full-time, bringing luxury, hand-dyed yarn to fiber enthusiasts across the US. She is the creative brain behind Yarn Adventure Truck and has been teaching a variety of fiber arts classes for over a decade. Katy also provides consulting services for those looking to start their own mobile yarn business or fiber festival.
The Overnighters
Heather Swan learned to crochet and sew as a young child. Her sewing stuck with her for years and then she picked up some knitting needles over 15 years ago never looking back. She eventually went back to her roots and started to crochet again. And as she has been falling down the fiber arts rabbit hole, she also enjoys spinning and weaving. Heather has coached youth sports since she was a youth and enjoys passing along her knowledge to help others take their interests to the next step. If you enjoy learning and laughing, you will enjoy spending time at the table with Heather picking up a new skill.
Dean Turbeville is your Chaos Coordinator and manager of all things efficiency and logistics. Born and raised in Arkansas, he recently left his job in medicine to travel full-time with Katy on their mobile yarn shop, the Yarn Adventure Truck. In his spare time, he dabbles in astrophotography to take beautiful photos of celestial objects.
Liza Q. Wirtz, better known as Q (aka the Chief Feline), runs fiber-arts business the Foldout Cat from her home studio in Alabama with the frequent and welcome assistance of her partners and the "help" of a fluctuating number of cats. She has been freestyle weaving since 2015, art-batt carding and spinning since 2018, and dyeing since 2021. Q vends and teaches weaving, spinning, and carding anywhere anyone will let her do it, from California to Colorado to New York to North Carolina, with the same guiding principle: create from your heart, make what gives you joy, and put beauty into the world. She believes that everyone has a creative spirit, and she loves helping people find their fibery bliss.
