At Knit Now, we're passionate
about supporting the incredible
diversity of local yarn shops
up and down the country, all
year round. Not just because
we love to touch and feel some
yarn from time to time (and
take it home and knit it!), but
also because of the unique and
valuable communities which
grow up around our shops. Justlike our local pubs, butchers and post o fi ces though, it's a ‘use
it or lose it’ deal – if we stop calling in to our local knitting shops
to pick up a new set of needles or book on to a class, we will lose
them, and the community that goes along with them.
The good news is that, as knitters, there's something very simple
that we can do to keep these vital community hubs open. Just
keep visiting your local shop! As an extra incentive, when you buy
Knit Now, you'll be able to get special discounts at participating
stores up and down the country. This month, why not take the
time to fi nd your local shop and pay them a visit?
At Knit Now, we're working with
AIYSO (the Association
of Independent Yarn Shop
Owners) to promote local
shops in every single issue,
as well as online at
