Find out why Yarn Shop Day is so important and how you can make a difference on 6th May!
1. You get to visit a Yarn Shop! They’re amazing places, who wouldn’t want to go?!
2. It keeps knitting being a group activity and social is good! There’ll be lots of groups and classes on the day so pop along and join in the fun.
3. Yarn Shop owners are experts in knitting and yarn so they’re a great source of advice! Make the most of their knowledge this Yarn Shop Day!
4. We get loads of amazing freebies and events put on just for us! Including the FREE Debbie Bliss Knitalong blanket pattern as well as a gorgeous unicorn and mermaid patterns!
5. It helps the shops stay open and busy because who would want their local yarn shop to go down? Then where would we go when we run out of DK for the last row of our WIP?!
6. We can use yarn shops to connect with fellow yarn-a-holics! That’s right, you can head to yarn addicts anonymous with fellow knitters and exchange everything from patterns, to stitch tips and even sharing your favourite parts of the latest Let’s Knit…
7. Most importantly…Yarn Shops are VITAL to local communities. With businesses closing down everyday do you really want the next one to be your local go-to to replenish your stash?
How YOU can help!
Go along to your local yarn store on Yarn Shop Day and don’t share Yarn Shop Day exclusive patterns online. They were designed to help your local store, you don’t want to spoil that, do you?
REMEMBER: The patterns will be available throughout the year so if your local store doesn’t have them, you can get it from a different store later if you’re visiting another town or city.
FINALLY: Tell all your friends about Yarn Shop Day! It’s a monumental day in the calender and it deserves to be celebrated, whether your friends are knitters or not they can learn more about the craft with a whole range of activities being put on for knitters of all abilities to enjoy.
