How this list was compiled

A list of 104 knitting group names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in five groups: knitting, crochet, charity circles, library and cafe meetups, and spinning and weaving. The craft terms in the names were read on 2026-10-02 in the English Wikipedia articles Knitting, Crochet, Hand spinning and Weaving (CC BY-SA 4.0); the line under a name gives the meaning in our own words. The charity names are for a group that knits to give; none was taken from a charity, a program, a yarn shop or a brand. Each name was searched on Wikipedia the same day, and a name found there as an organization, a show, a book, a song or an album was taken out. Plain words are shared widely, so a group somewhere may already use one of these names. Compared the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
