Craft Yarn Council

The Craft Yarn Council (CYC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the craft of knitting and crocheting. Established in the United States, it serves as a resource for both manufacturers and consumers by providing guidelines for yarn weight, patterns, and crafting standards. The CYC also aims to foster community among crafters, support education, and encourage the growth of the yarn industry. Through initiatives such as National Craft Month, the council highlights the benefits of these hobbies, including relaxation, creativity, and social connection.
