​

Every shop has a new knitting and crochet pattern, designed specifically for the Tour. Customers who visit in person will receive download codes for these patterns for FREE. Patterns can be downloaded from Raverly.com and in some cases also from a secondary website. If you're Touring remotely, you can receive a shop's patterns for free by placing an order of any size from the shop during the Tour dates. Pattern download codes will expire July 1, 2023, so don't delay in redeeming the patterns.

Helpful Tips for Touring:

You'll need a Tour passport (or just the stamp page), a trustworthy map/GPS, and a car. It's also fun to travel together with a group of friends! The LYS Tour does not provide transportation for the event.

​

Be sure to put your name and contact information in your passport just in case you accidentally leave it at a shop! This happens more than you know...

​

Visit any participating shops you wish, in any order you wish. Plan the route that best works for you (and your group). Transportation tools are linked at the bottom of this page.

​

At the end of the day, each shop will pull THREE winners from that day's pool of in-person visitor entry slips. One winner will receive a tote filled with amazing donated yarns, patterns, and treats. The other two will receive a $15 gift certificate to that shop. 3 prizes per shop, per day adds up to 300 changes to win! Customers will be informed of their winnings by phone or email. It is the customer's responsibility to pick up their winnings in a timely manner. If a customer does not wish to arrange to have their item(s) picked up, they can decline their prize, and another Tourist will be chosen.  

​

Be sure to turn in the grand prize entry form from your passport at the last shop you visit. Grand Prizes are awarded after the Tour ends, randomly selected from the pool of qualifying entries.

Vist at least 12 shops to be entered to win one of five $100 grand prizes. Visit all 20 shops to be entered to win one of three $500 grand prizes. The drawing will take place approximately 7-10 days after the Tour. Gift certificates will be awarded, and winners can select the shop(s) where they want to spend their winnings.

​

Contact your fiber-loving friends, mark your maps, arrange your carpools, and plan your Tour.  We look forward to seeing you.
