The traditional crafts of crochet and knitting have become hot trends in modern art. In Yarn, we follow a few international artists and knitters as they bring yarn into the streets and our lives in new ways. Starting in Iceland, this quirky and thought-provoking film takes us on a colorful global journey as we discover how yarn connects us all.

Yarn had its world premiere at the Göteborg Film Festival in February and was screened at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, in March.
