Local Yarn Store Day 2026

Local Yarn Store Day is a celebration of the vibrant and thriving community of independent yarn shops around the world. Held annually, this event shines a spotlight on the unique charm and essential role that these local businesses play in the crafting world.
On Local Yarn Store Day, knitters, crocheters, weavers, and fiber enthusiasts gather to support their neighborhood yarn stores. It's a day filled with camaraderie, creativity, and appreciation for the rich tapestry of fibers and colors that these stores offer. It's a chance for customers to connect with fellow enthusiasts, discover new yarns and patterns, and show their love and gratitude for the dedicated yarn store owners and staff who provide invaluable expertise and guidance.
Local Yarn Store Day is more than just a shopping event; it's a celebration of creativity, community, and the enduring tradition of handcrafting. It's a reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses and preserving the art of fiber crafting for generations to come. Whether you're a seasoned yarn enthusiast or just starting your fiber journey, Local Yarn Store Day offers something special for everyone to enjoy.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be no Knit Studio during LYS Day.
*Winding yarn durning this busy event prevents us from providing you the best service. We are happy to wind for you at a later date or you can leave it with us and we will let you know when it's ready. We will not be able to take phone orders durning the sale. Please be patient, it may take us time to get to the phone!
