There's still plenty of time...

As of today (August 16), the first-ever, first-epic Great Tennessee Yarn Tour is halfway over. Some of you have already "been there, done that," some of you may be planning a second round, and some of you may just be starting. Wherever you are, there is still plenty of time to get out and enjoy all that the Yarn Tour has to offer.

We chose a longer Tour period to accommodate a wide variety of schedules and approaches. If you like the fast-paced adventure of seeing as many shops as possible in a day or a weekend - you can do that! If you were on vacation and just got back, there's still plenty of days left. If you like to gingerly visit a few shops each week and are spreading out the magic, that works too. In other words, "You Tour You."

Here's a look at which shops are open, at which time, and on which days. Use this to help you plan your routes, as you finish (or maybe even start) your Tour! Shops are listed in order of opening hour and then by closing hour. For detailed information about each shop, including address and contact info, click here.
