Quick answer: How do I redeem a yarn gift card?

To redeem an AriYARN gift card online, start by opening our online store and adding yarn, tools, or classes to your cart. When you reach checkout, enter the gift card code exactly as it appears in your email or on the physical card. The balance will be applied to your order total; if there’s anything left over, it stays on the card for next time.

To redeem a gift card in-store, bring the email or physical card with the code visible to the register at AriYARN Shop & Studio (153 N Northwest Hwy, Park Ridge, IL 60068). Let your fiber guide know you’d like to pay with a gift card and they’ll enter or scan the code before processing any remaining balance on a debit/credit card or digital wallet. Because we’re a cashless shop, gift cards are a handy option for kids, teens, and anyone who prefers not to store a card on file.

If you’re gifting the card, you can also pair it with a spot in one of our furoshiki gift wrapping workshops so your recipient can learn to wrap their handmade pieces in beautiful, reusable fabric.
