About Us

We get it.

You know that sinking feeling when you drive 45 minutes to your "local" yarn store, only to find a handwritten sign saying "Closed Today" taped to a locked door?

Or when you finally make it inside during their impossibly narrow hours, only to be watched like you're about to shoplift, ignored while the owner chats with their friends, or made to feel unwelcome because you dare to crochet instead of knit?

We started this directory because we believe yarn shopping should be joyful, not an exercise in disappointment. We believe you shouldn't have to take time off work just to buy yarn. We believe asking questions about patterns shouldn't earn you eye rolls. We believe your money is just as green whether you're 25 or 75, whether you knit or crochet, whether you're buying your first skein or your thousandth. You deserve better.

You deserve to know if a store will actually be open when they say they will. You deserve to know if they welcome all fiber arts or just their chosen few. You deserve to know if you'll walk into a warm, organized space where your questions are answered with enthusiasm, not annoyance.

That's why we're here.

We're building more than a directory - we're building a community where your experiences matter. Where honest reviews help fellow yarn lovers avoid the gatekeepers and find the gems. Where indie dyers connect directly with customers who appreciate their craft. Where every fiber artist can find their people and their perfect yarn, without the drama.

Because at the end of the day, we all just want to create beautiful things. And that journey should start with a shopping experience that sparks joy, not frustration.

Your yarn adventure should begin with excitement, not dread.

Let's find you the stores that deserve your business - and help you skip the ones that don't.
