Worldwide Spin in Public Day was started by a bunch of like-minded spinners to celebrate an art that they all love - the art of spinning fibers into yarn. (Our) main purpose is to help organize spinning in public events on the third weekend of September every year. This educates the public about our love of spinning, opens minds and hearts to what we love and allows us to meet new people, get together, and just have a really fun day!
Although there is currently not an established WWSiP event in or around Knoxville, we should have beautiful weather this Saturday. It should be an ideal day for toting spindles and wheels outside and enjoy spinning in public in the spirit of the event.
