LYS Day, 2026

LYS Day Weekend Fun!!

Hey yarn & fiber craft lovers!  We’ve got a thing going on April 25th & 26th. It’s a yarn hunt!  5 Austin area LYS’s, 5 fresh skeins to find, 1 grand prize.

Shops

Yarning Fiber Arts, Worldyarns, Knit ATX, The Sated Sheep, Fiber Fate

The Lost Skein of Austin

Visit each of the five shops on LYS Day and the following day, Saturday & Sunday.  You will receive a clue or riddle.  Search for the shop’s special LYS day skein. Once you have found the lost skein, there are 2 ways to enter to win a grand prize.  Either post and hashtag on Instagram or get your printed map stamped.

Please note:  If you are posting to IG, do not reveal the actual skein or the clue in your post.  No spoilers.  Tag each post #lostskeinofaustin.

If you are choosing the paper entry, turn in your map at your last stop of the weekend.

Grand Prize:

$50 gift certificate from each store.

Additional info:

Rachel, Yarning Fiber Arts, will consolidate all the entries and draw the winner.  Drawing will take place the week of April 27th.  FYI, Rachel is the creator and organizer of the yarn hunt.

No purchase is necessary to play. No purchase is necessary to enter the grand prize drawing. Visit all shops to enter drawing. Play even if you can only visit a few shops. If no one does all 5, the minimum number for the grand prize moves to 4. We are working on a second prize for those that visit 2 or 3 shops as well.

Paper maps: print your own map from the image online or ask for one at your first shop.

Gauge is not able to participate in the hunt this year.  They are a core LYS located in north Austin.  Don’t forget to visit Gauge on LYS Day, Saturday, April 25th.
