Staff Favorites: LYS Day + 13 Years of Monarch
Celebrating 13 Years + LYS Day at Monarch
For Local Yarn Store Day and our 13th birthday, we styled our front table with a collection that feels especially close to us, each team member’s favorite yarns and notions. These are the pieces we reach for time and time again, the ones that make their way into our projects and stay in our knitting bags.
You might just discover your new favorite, too. 🧶
