Is there anything cozier than a weekend spent with yarn, needles, and a great local shop? This Saturday, April 26, marks Local Yarn Store (LYS) Day, a nationwide celebration of small fiber arts businesses – and Rhode Island’s knitting community is showing up in style. Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or just yarn-curious, four local shops are offering exclusive deals, events, and giveaways to celebrate.
Since opening last summer, Knit Club has fostered a tight-knit (pun fully intended) community of fiber lovers. On LYS Day, anyone who arrives wearing something they’ve knit or crocheted will be entered into a raffle for a prize pack featuring a Knit Club tote, essential tools, and a $100 gift card. Providence
Beloved for its curated yarn selection and cozy vibe, The Mermaid’s Purl is celebrating with special pricing on yarn and kits, plus giveaways throughout the day. They’ll also debut Ultraviolet Mermaid, a limited-edition colorway dyed exclusively for LYS Day by Moon Drake Co. North Kingstown
This go-to spot for yarn lovers will host a trunk show with Woolens and Nosh and unveil a custom colorway from Hope Made Yarn Co. Shoppers can also enjoy surprise gifts with purchase (while supplies last). East Greenwich
With a carefully curated yarn inventory, Stitch Source is spotlighting fibers from Hudson & West and Biches & Bûches. On LYS Day, expect additional markdowns and a fun surprise at checkout: a mystery discount that adds an extra thrill to every purchase. Barrington
