At '''Philly Knits''', we hold meetups in various places (mainly cafes and libraries), and '''promote the "fiber arts" to schools and the public at large'''. We also host a Yarn Bombing group and have participated in several fiber arts projects. 

We encourage our members to start and post their meetups (knitting, crochet, sewing, etc.)  We also post requests for volunteers for educational, charity, and artistic projects, and work with local museums, libraries, educational institutions, businesses, and rehabilitation facilities. 

The Fiber Arts are good for the brain and can relax or challenge us. It also connects us to one another, as well as to the other arts and sciences.  It is particularly adaptable to STEAM programs.  We also collect yarn and Fabric for the Philadelphia School District and our Philly Knits Yarn Bombers. 

''Plz contact'' The Philadelphia School Board and ask them to teach more 'Skills In School', such as The Fiber Arts!

So, please join us and help expand the Fiber Arts throughout Philadelphia!  Our meetup is free, sharing is key.
