2019 LYS TOUR REVIEW
In our 14th year, the LYS Tour got back to basics. Shops voted to restore the name "Puget Sound LYS Tour" and adopted an adorable new logo. We made plans to use these exclusively going forward.
We upped our pattern game, with every shop putting forth maximum effort to release gorgeous knit and crochet patterns. The daily drawing prize bags were also a huge hit - ranging from $150-200 in prizes. Our merchandise also got a boost when we offered black tote bags (instead of the regular natural color) AND new, smaller sized grey zipper bags. Our daily drawing winners received their gifts in a navy colored tote. Finally, in a fun twist we revealed our grand prize drawing winners LIVE on Facebook, and also gave away our extra navy prize bags to additional winners!
​
Whether you visited all 24 shops, from Lynden to Renton, Port Townsend to Carnation, or just your own local yarn shop, we appreciate your excitement! From all of us, THANK YOU for making our LYS Tour one of the largest and longest running in the nation.
