​How the
YDT Works
The following information is subject to change.
​
​The Yarn Discovery Tour offer lots of ways to have fiber fun! Shop in-store and virtually as well. Virtual shopping can mean calling a shop or visiting a shop's e-commerce site. Check out the Participating Shops listings to view each shop's free pattern offerings.

It's important for you to check out an individual shop's website and your passport for complete information about that shop's business hours, etc. Here are more details:
  • Purchase an $8 passport at any participating shop & receive a free YDT souvenir tote bag. Passports available for purchase at every participating shop beginning August 30 continuing through the 2022 YDT.
  • You can participate by visiting shops in person or from home on our "virtual tour." 
  • The 2022 Yarn Discovery Tour begins Tuesday, September 6 and concludes Sunday, September 25.
  • Purchase a minimum of $10 (before tax) from any participating shop and receive that shop's free knit or crochet YDT pattern and entry into that shop's Prize Basket drawing ($100+ value). 
  • When you make your purchase, receive a passport stamp or sticker from that shop as well as their YDT souvenir pin for your 2022 YDT tote. Shop at a few shops or shop them all - either in-store or virtually.
  • Purchase of your passport serves as your entry into YDT Prize Basket drawings as well.
  • To celebrate our 15th Anniversary, there will be a special "Complete the Tour" prize basket, drawn from participants who fill their passport, virtually or in person. Completed passports will be checked at your last stop on the Tour. If you are making that stop virtually, you will need to e-mail photos of your passport pages to that store's e-mail address to be entered in the drawing.
  • Prize winners will be drawn and notified the first week of October. Winners of YDT Prize Baskets may pick those up from their shop of choice via curbside delivery or in-store.
  • Winners will be posted on the website as soon as possible after the YDT concludes.
