Yarn Shop Day 2019

27th April 2019

Yarn Shop Day is back!

Launched in 2014 by Let’s Knit magazine, along with its sister title LGC Knitting & Crochet, Yarn Shop Day is the biggest retailer event in the knitting and crochet industry. Its aim is to help bricks-and-mortar stores by encouraging yarn lovers all over the UK and the Republic of Ireland to visit their local store and discover the great things it can offer, while at the same time enjoying a day of treats, fun and meeting like-minded crafters!

Find out what people are saying about Yarn Shop Day:

"A bricks and mortar yarn store is so much more than a place to buy wool and threads; it is a place of common interest, to share ideas and techniques, to learn new skills, and to be a part of a community of like-minded people who won't judge you for the size of your stash! Yarn Shop Day serves to highlight and celebrate the importance of your local store and crafting community, which you may be yet to discover!" - Erika Knight (Designer, Yarn Shop Day Ambassador)

'I've attended a Yarn Shop Day event every year since 2014, and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Not only is it a fun and memorable day, it's also a fantastic way to make contact with your local crafting community and feel part of it. Every year I come away inspired, uplifted and carrying a bag full of fab yarn!' - Sarah Neal (Editor, Let's Knit magazine)
