2025 LYS TOUR REVIEW
The 2025 Tour welcomed several new shops and had 25 Participating Shops. The Tour ran over five days from Wednesday, May 14th to Sunday, May 18th, 2025.
Shop Hours were 10-8 W/Th/F, 10-6 Sat & Sun.
The Participating Shops were divided into Regions for easy grouping of shop to ease travel plans. We continued our efforts to minimize waste by printing fewer patterns and offering easy access to digital download pattern. Printed passports upgraded to a higher quality keepsake quality booklet and provide room for download codes and project notes!
Grand Prizes were award for 3 Tiers: 8 Shops, 16 Shops, and all 25 Shops, which enabled the Tour to award prizes to a wider segment of participants. Whether you visited all 25 shops or just a few, we are grateful for your excitement and participation in this year's LYS Tour.
The commemorative bags were a hit again - graced with the design by our art contest winner, "Puget Wound" by Kyle Muir that appeared stretched from seam-to-seam across the front of the Tote that added a large exterior pocket this year and the Zip Pouch featured a modified close up of the boat with a ball of yarn rising (or setting) behind the mountain.
THANK YOU for making the LYS Tour one of the largest and longest running in the nation.
