LYS Day 2024 is fast approaching and, once again, I’m gearing up to celebrate everything I adore about local yarn shops. These cozy havens serve as more than just stores — they’re vibrant hubs where fiber enthusiasts gather to share their love and passion for all things yarn.
Established by TNNA members, Local Yarn Store Day is an annual homage to brick-and-mortar yarn shops. Now in its seventh year, this special day, slated for April 27th, is a testament to our collective support for small businesses and a unique opportunity to unite knitters, crocheters, weavers, and spinners in celebrating our craft. Both vendors and retailers are joining forces to showcase the distinct advantages of locally-owned yarn shops through an enticing array of special products, classes, and more. As one of these proud participants, I’m thrilled to contribute to the festivities once again.
The event has seen remarkable success in recent years, and I’m delighted to continue my involvement for the fifth consecutive year. Let’s ensure that LYS Day 2024 surpasses all expectations by spreading the word far and wide! Help me champion yarn shops across the U.S. and Canada by sharing your favorites with me using this form. You can even include a heartfelt “Love Letter” to express why they hold a special place in your heart.
I’ll personally extend invitations to them, inviting them to partake in this joyous occasion.
Together, let’s make LYS Day 2024 an unforgettable celebration of community, creativity, and the enduring charm of local yarn shops!
