Love your yarn shop – 29 March – 31 May 2025
29 March @ 8:00 am – 31 May @ 5:00 pm
Do you have a favourite yarn shop?
Now is the time to show them some love by checking if they are taking part in the UK Handknitting Association’s Love Your Yarn Shop event.
Then collect a LYYS loyalty card from them or look out for one in Simply Knitting, Simply Crochet, Knit Now and Crochet Now.
You can use the loyalty card every time you visit the shop between 29 March and 31 May to collect stamps or signatures each time. Once you have validated your card four times, leave it with the shop to be entered in the prize draw.
There are 50 prizes worth £40 each to be won in the draw. There will also be seven instant win prizes up for grabs worth £25 that will be allocated to shops at random during the campaign.
During the campaign the UK Handknitting Association will be asking you to share pictures of your yarn shop visits and what you buy. So don’t forget to take some pics and look out for posts on their social media.
And if you love more than one yarn shop, you can complete a card for each of them.
