The Craft Yarn Council (CYC) represents the leading yarn companies, accessory manufacturers, magazines, book publishers and consultants in the yarn industry.

For more than 35 years, the Council has sponsored a wide range of promotional and educational programs, including its highly acclaimed Certified Instructors Program, Discover Knit and Crochet classes and its popular I Love Yarn Day event in October, which offers a virtual meeting place for the nation's knitters and crocheters. More details about these programs and many others are available at the Craft Yarn Council website and those of our members.
