What is Yorn?

yorn- noun, a contraction of the words "yarn" and "porn," (short for "pornography.") Catalogues, patterns, websites, and books concerning knitting that captivate knitters, sometimes to the point of obsession. Note that the usage of yorn has nothing to do with the musician of the similiar name.

Example:
"I was a little embarrassed when my significant other found my yorn stash on my nightstand, but the newest patterns in the latest Lion Brand catalogue are simply tantalizing!"
