LYS WEEK EVENTS
Monday, April 25, 2022 – LYS WEEK EVENTS
We invited you to join us
this week for LYS Day.
What is LYS Day?
Local Yarn Store Day (LYS Day) is a TNNA (The National Needlearts Association) program designed to drive traffic to local yarn stores. LYS Day has brought thousands of ‘yarnies’ from across the US and Canada to their local shops to see the exclusive, unique products created specifically for LYS Day. Think of it as an international Yarn Crawl!
We here at London Yarn are participating in the fifth annual LYS Day (Local Yarn Store Day) scheduled for April 30th! BUT…we’re doing it one better…we are going to make it a LYS WEEK! Join us for a week-long celebration of our unique community of knitters, crocheters, felters, weavers and spinners.
Here is a brief summary of what we have lined up in today’s email that details our LYS Week Events:
- Zen Yarns Yarn Haul – 300+ skeins in the store!
- Sock Yarn SALE – save up to 15% off
- Free Pattern from Casapinka
- Free Pattern from Berroco

Are you as excited as we are?!?
Do you love Zen Yarns? You know that WE love Zen Yarns! So, to start off our LYS Week ‘with a bang’, let’s enjoy a ….
Zen Yarn Garden
‘Yarn Haul’!
We have brought in more than 300+ skeins of Zen Yarn Garden Yarns in fingering weight (#1) in a wide array of colour choices and dyed on a variety of yarn bases for you to ogle and enjoy.
These yarns tend to fly out the door quickly, so if you see something you like, it’s best to grab it right then and there while you have it in hand, so as to avoid disappointment later.
Please join us this week for our spectacular Zen Yarn Garden ‘Yarn Haul’!
Note: For 1-2 skein project ideas, read through to the end of this email.

2022 LYS DAY Shawl
This is Ric Rac from Casapinka.
Ric Rac is a boomerang shaped shawl that uses just 2 skeins of fingering weight (#1) yarn (min. 365m/400yd each) in contrasting, complimentary, variegated or solid colours and is knit with very simple stitches.
Come in during LYS Week to purchase the yarn to knit this Shawl and receive a coupon code to get the pattern FREE! (*coupon code is only valid for two days on the weekend - April 30th and May 1st)
Ric Rac is a good pattern for beginners & advanced knitters alike, as the stitches are simple, the knitting goes quickly, and the yarn does all of the work!
But, what yarn options do we have to make our Ric Rac Shawl? Good question!
Feel free to choose for yourselves, but if you’re at a loss, here are a few suggestions…
BERROCO FREE PATTERN OFFER…
Berroco is offering a FREE PATTERN download with Berroco yarn purchase. Choose from ANY of their online Single PDF patterns (reg. $6-$8 USD), then purchase or order the Berroco yarn from us and receive a coupon code to download the pattern FREE!
