Happy Local Yarn Store Day 2025!
Want to join in the fun but can't make it to the shop today? Here are some links to the special items and pattern offers we are featuring today! Note that the free pattern offers have expiration dates, none earlier than Sunday. We'll do our best to get you any pattern codes your order qualifies you right away, but we may need to send them to you after the shop closes on Saturday. Make sure you redeem them right away! Links are below the image.
🧶Not pictured, we have a trunk show from Twice Sheared Sheep!
🧶We are thrilled to announce that Double the Stitches is offering the Double Win Mosaic Shawl pattern for FREE when you purchase the yarn to make it from our store during that weekend! Double Win is a striking mosaic knit shawl that embodies the joy of community, creativity, and connection.
This rectangular shawl with gently flared ends weaves together two contrasting colors, each playing a vital role in creating bold, eye-catching patterns with simple slipped stitches. The result? A cozy, wearable piece that looks intricate but is easy and satisfying to knit. You'll need two 100g fingering weight skeins of the main color (darker green in the sample photos), and one 100g skein of the contrast color. Find our fingering weight yarns here.
🧶 Amazing texture, easy to crochet AND easy to wear? Yes please! The Arlitt Cowl is worked flat and seamed in a special way to create this easy to wear, unique accessory. This reversible pattern has so many ways to wear it, you’ll be cozied up in it all fall and winter. Master working spike stitches & working in the 3rd loop, while playing with color in this relaxing, giftable make! You'll need 400 skeins of a worsted weight yarn. We used two skeins of Malabrigo Rios; Malabrigo Seis Cabos, or new Vintage Handpaint would also show off those spike stitches.
🧶 We have a limited quantity of Knitted Wit's LYS Day 2025 exclusive color, A Gathering of Stitches, on Knitted Wit Sock, which is produced sheep to skein in the US.
🧶The Aura Glow Cowl is an approachable and visually striking crochet accessory, designed to encourage creative color play and provide an enjoyable, accessible project for makers of all skill levels. Three colors of a worsted weight yarn are needed for this project, and we've put together a few color options in Berroco Merino 401. Find the kits here.
🧶Polka Dot Sheep created a special colorway for LYS Day, and the rich, saturated colors are just plain happy. The color is Macaw, and we have it on the Whitefish Worsted base, the Rime sparkling fingering weight, and as a special request, Unspun Merino spinning fiber!
🧶Any purchase gets you a complimentary pattern code from Katie Pomper's Ravelry store.
🧶We have the 2025 LYS Day enamel pin as a free gift with the first 30 purchases of $25 or more.
🧶 Our friend Sunni owns Yarn, in Eureka, CA, and she has graciously provided a code for her new shawl, Sunny Brae, with purchase of any two fingering weight skeins.
🧶Becca Anderson of Threadbender Yarn in Grandville, MI, is sharing the pattern for her Squirrels In Paradise with purchase of three skeins of fingering weight (or fingering + mohair).

🧶 We have LYS Day items from Katrinkles: stitch markers and a Yarn Folk 2" Keychain Ruler
🧶Not shown, we have free patterns for download from Berroco with any Berroco purchase. Stash and Stow are handy baskets to knit or crochet.
We also have marked down single printed patterns to 99₵ (you'll see them marked as "sale" here), and we've still got some Girl Scout Cookies left over! The cookies are an in-store only offer, sad to say 🙃
