Welcome
to OML
Our Maker Life events launched from a dream to network and socialize with fellow makers. Our founder, Jewell, visited her local yarn store and on the way home got an idea and vision where knitters + crocheters worldwide come together for annual events.
Since 2016, we’ve launched OML meetups from NYC to Portland to Calgary for a weekend of inspiration + business.
Our goal: keep bringing knitters, crocheters, yarn dyers, and fiber enthusiasts together to elevate their brands and business, yarn close by.

Create and dream with fellow makers
We believe knitters and crocheters are going beyond just dreaming in craft rooms. They’re creating modern craft businesses and community. Our Maker Life is where we come together to go beyond the dream to reimagine what’s possible for handmade.
Invest in a weekend immersed in presentations, panels, and mixers to explore how creativity becomes commerce, how artistry shapes industry, and how modern makers are designing the future of fiber together.
OML Brand Showcase
Experience our OML brand showcase, a curated style marketplace to shop yarns, notions, and maker goods while networking with indie yarn dyers, sponsor brands, event keynotes and panelists, and fellow makers.
Come ready to connect, collaborate, and create. The brand showcase is your chance to meet the faces behind your favorite brands, exchange ideas with fellow makers, and experience the energy that defines Our Maker Life.
