One of our YARN-TOURERS wrote and asked if there is a downloadable list of shops. Why, YES, YES there IS! Just go to www.ncyarntour.com then in the navigation section at the top of the page, click on MORE, and you will find it. Thanks for a great idea, BETH!

Incidentally, I am told that the map can also be downloaded through googlemaps, and you can even plot out your roadtrip and add additional stops (favorite quilt shops anyone?? I haven't tried this, just heard tell of it from some kind of uber-techy person.

You can download and print the list (another idea: what about putting the pdf in KNIT COMPANION, AND YOU CAN MAKE NOTES ALL OVER IT!!)

44 shops are rolling out the red carpet for YOU, all during JULY!

🎉 TWO yarnie things to be excited about this week!

This is my 7th year celebrating Local Yarn Store Day - one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. These small, independently owned shops are the heartbeat of our fiber community, and I'm so proud to support them with a brand new FREE pattern every year.

1️⃣ The Treasured Skein Scarfette is available starting TOMORROW at 9 AM Eastern!

Visit a participating local yarn store this weekend, pick up a 100-gram skein of DK weight yarn, and ask for your free Ravelry code! Codes are active starting Friday, April 24th at 9 AM Eastern and expire Sunday, April 26th at 11:59 PM Eastern.

No local shop nearby? The pattern is also available to purchase on Ravelry starting tomorrow at 9 AM. 🧶

👉 Find your nearest participating shop and learn more: doublethestitches.com/lysday2026

2️⃣ Join me for a FREE Cast-On Party on Friday, May 1st at 7 PM Eastern!

Whether you grab a free copy at your LYS this weekend or purchase the pattern, come celebrate with us! We'll walk through the pattern together, cover key techniques and tutorials, share knitter photos for yarn inspiration, and answer your questions live.

The event is hosted on Zoom and streamed live to YouTube. Sign up at the link below to receive the Zoom link in your inbox before we get started - and don't worry if you can't make it live, a replay will be shared after the event!

👉 Sign up for the Cast-On Party here: doublethestitches.com/lysday2026/

If you're heading to your local yarn store this weekend, please give those hardworking shop owners and their staff some extra love. LYS Day is often one of their busiest weekends of the year, and they pour their hearts into making it special. 💕
