Local Yarn Store Day 2026 Participating Stores
Local Yarn Store Day is one of my favorite celebrations in the fiber world. It is such a joyful reminder of how important our local yarn stores really are. These shops are more than places to buy yarn. They are gathering spaces, classrooms, creative sparks, and community cornerstones.
For so many makers, a local yarn store is where inspiration begins. It is where a beautiful skein turns into a project, a question turns into a new skill, and a quiet hobby turns into connection.
This year, I’m so excited to partner with 40+ participating local yarn stores for Local Yarn Store Day 2026. On April 25, 2026, shoppers at the stores listed below will receive a free copy of my Autumn Waves Wrap crochet pattern with their purchase.

Why I Love Supporting Local Yarn Stores
Local yarn stores are such an important part of our community. They give us a place to ask questions, discover new fibers, learn new skills, and connect with other makers.
They support creativity in such a personal way, and Local Yarn Store Day is a beautiful excuse to celebrate all that they do.
