Description

Step past the unassuming front into a space that's surprisingly spacious, with a huge selection of yarn in all kinds of colors. The offerings go beyond standard skeins: weaving looms, knitting tools, buttons, and more. A free yarn library makes larger crochet projects financially accessible, while class fees can be eased by a scholarship fund and a Project Punch Cards rewards program. The beverage counter keeps crafters fueled with options like Thai iced tea, and the vibe stays welcoming, bright, and helpful.
