What makes the Knit Stars experience so unique?
I’m Shelley Brander and almost two decades ago, I had a thriving branding agency and was starting to burn out, so I opened a yarn shop as a side hustle. But I struggled to attract top-tier teachers to travel to my little shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.
Finally, Lucy Neatby said YES, and her workshop was so transformative, I became obsessed with bringing the same level of instruction and intimate connection to Yarnies worldwide.
Each year for 9 years, our award-winning production team has traveled around the globe to more than 90 Stars’ hometowns, filming a mini-documentary and online workshop. The premiere of each Knit Stars Masterclass Season has become the biggest online event in the yarn world. But more importantly, it’s elevated the way the entire yarn world learns, connects and grows, together.

Beyond that, the requirements are simple:
