Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop 2025
April 3 - April 6
Mark your calendar for April 3rd–6th, 2025 for Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop 2025, and plan to hop from shop to shop, discovering each shop’s interpretation of “In the Garden.” Let’s make a difference by supporting local food shelves and celebrating the beauty of creativity, community, and nature!
Step into a world of natural inspiration as we celebrate the beauty, serenity, and vibrancy of gardens. This year’s theme invites you to explore the colors of fresh blooms, the calming greens of lush foliage, and the lively buzz of pollinators hard at work.
Each participating shop will interpret this theme with exclusive, garden-inspired yarns, and patterns. Whether you’re drawn to tranquil shades of moss and fern, or the vivid palette of tulips, daisies, and buzzing bees, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
The Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop is free and open to everyone. A passport stamp and pattern are available to anyone participating. If you’d like to help area food shelves, like CROSS Services and receive a collectible, there are two options, EZ Passes or a Give as you Go.
EZ Passes
- EZ Pass $50.00(+) Food Shelf Donation ahead of time at your main shop
- Instead of donating at each shop during the hop weekend, give $50.00 (or more), beginning March 18th. Simply stop into your LYS and make your $50 donation to that store’s food bank partner.
- Every $50 donation for an EZ pass includes a commemorative tote bag while supplies last.
- The EZ Pass is also available during the Hop. Simply give your $50+ donation at the first shop you visit.
Give as You Go
- Cash donations in any amount ($5.00 per shop recommended)
- If you’d like to help area food shelves, simply give what you can at each shop you visit. We recommend a $5.00 per shop donation, but any amount is gratefully accepted. Every dollar goes a long way, as food shelves are able to buy in bulk at discounted rates.
- Anyone who donates at a shop (or has an EZ Pass) receives this year’s collectible – while supplies last.
