Yarn Quest 2011: A Fiber Journey – Let the Adventure Begin!
The fifth annual Yarn Shop Hop is April 7 - 10, 2011. This is the biggest Shop Hop yet with nine of the Twin Cities’ area best yarn shops participating. To begin your fiber journey, pick up driving directions and an entry card at any one of the shops listed. At each shop, get your entry form stamped and pick up a free pattern for a unique Yarn Quest 2011 knitting project. A completed entry form, stamped at each and every shop, qualifies you to enter the drawing for the Grand Prize valued at over $2,000 of knitting supplies or one of nine First Prizes full of knitting goodies. At the same time you can also enter your name for exciting door prize drawings at each shop. The first day of the Shop Hop is Thursday, April 7th. You can complete the Shop Hop all in one day or spread it out over four days.
LIMITED EDITION YARN: To enhance your fiber journey each shop has commissioned a limited edition hand dyed yarn. Each shop will have its own yarn that will be featured in the free pattern given to shop hop visitors.
HELP STOCK LOCAL FOOD SHELVES: Each shop will have a limited quantity of unique, collectible charms that will be yours in exchange for your donation of cash (the suggested donation is $5 per shop) or non-perishable food items to a local food shelf chosen by each shop. If you prefer, you can make a $5 purchase at each shop to qualify for the charm. In addition, your completed entry card along with the qualifying donation or purchase will entitle you to a pin to easily display all your charms (only one purchase is required at the final stop for that shop’s charm and the pin). Come early while supplies last.
