Meet the artists who are redefining the tradition of knit and crochet, bringing yarn out of the house and into the world. Reinventing our relationship with this colorful tradition, YARN weaves together wool graffiti artists, circus performers, and structural designers into a visually-striking look at the women who are making a creative stance while building one of modern art’s hottest trends.

Yarn is a film by Una Lorenzen. To celebrate its UK premiere, the Hackney Picturehouse will be handing all its open spaces over to knitters and their creations. Look out for more news soon of special fringe events going on in the cinema all day on 9 October.
