The YarnSmith
We’re excited to welcome The YarnSmith as a 2026 sponsor of The Yarny Social!
The YarnSmith is the long‑time passion project of Sam and Donna Smith.
Donna is a fiber artist with 30+ years of experience, who first learned to crochet during the Gulf War while watching CNN and worrying about Sam, who was deployed. Today she creates cherished shawls, scarves, hats, receiving blankets, and other handmade heirlooms for their large and loving family.
Sam - a US Army Desert Storm Veteran and business professional - proudly supports Donna’s creative work. Together, they use the finest fibers and dyes, embracing the science, artistry, and patience behind indie hand‑dyed yarns. Their hope is simple: that makers enjoy their yarn and bring their ideas to life.
Married for over 40 years, they celebrate their daughters Jessica, Abby, and Zoe, and their growing group of future creators — Emily, Mason, Delilah, and Hudson.
We’re grateful for The YarnSmith’s support of this year’s event.
