The holiday season is in full swing! Are you looking to shop small and support artists this year? Here are some guild members you can support 💕

I want to put together a slide show for socials to promote those of us with small businesses to support this holiday season. If you want to be in the post please send me a single image 4x5 to [email protected] by the end of this sunday and I will include you.

Harley’s latest cosplay: the Fairy Gourd-Mother 🎃 from Twistwood Tales is 80lbs of hand knitted yarn, including the wings, pumpkin prisoners, and bars. Even her head is knit inspired, the foam clay is twisted to look like stocking stitch! 🧶

"I grew up around crochet all my life and thought it was so cool but I didn’t want to make sweaters and shawls all the time. Realizing I could bring my love of anime into crochet opened new doors and I can’t wait for my next big project!" @ cringy_craft on IG

This is the crocheted cosplay I am proudest of. I'm a huge fan of princess Anna and her aesthetic, and this cosplay changed my life in so many ways.

Here are the results of the auction! I am so proud of us for pulling this together! Thanks to everybody we raised $350 for @trevorproject Making sure to share the screenshots for full transparency. Thank you to everyone involved in making this go so well! 💕💕💕 #yarncosplayguild

Would you like to share you work on this page as well as our Socials? We love to give space to fiber artists working in cosplay and fandom to share their work and their stories!

@scarletstitch.bsky.social is coordinating a pattern bundle to be auctioned for the Pride Fundraising Auction raising funds for @trevorproject.bsky.social Send your pattern pdf to them at [email protected] with some pictures to promote :)

We're hosting our second fundraiser! The guild voted on supporting @trevorproject.bsky.social for Pride month! You can submit items to be auctioned before the end of the month!

This is my very first fully made cosplay and it’s made entirely of yarn! I started it when I had only been crocheting for 6 months, inspired by the guild. It took 5 months, 370 hours and over 5000 meters of yarn! Submission from @shanmarlene.bsky.social First two photos by photogoku on IG

Just uploaded a video featuring all of the highlighted cosplayers we shared last month for #28DaysOfBlackYarnCosplay to youtube!

a mask is the thing you’re looking for. it is the visible reminder of how things have changed, that you acknowledge we are not coveted “normal” times—but unlike donation-earned tote bags or symbolic beaded bracelets, the mask is community care in both form & immediate function.

Hosting the first discord call this Saturday at 6pm EST! It's will be very chill as @scarletstitch.bsky.social figures out the best way to host a call. Bring a project and hang out! Also a great time to plan for the upcoming fundraiser 🫶

Hay y'all! Our next fundraiser will be raising money through an auction for the Trevor project! Here's the form so we can get a better idea of the timeline for this project! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
