EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL CREATIVE
The Artful Yarn is a fun, boutique yarn shop, a friendly retreat for local and visiting fiber friends! We love meeting fun knitters and crocheters from all walks of life, all skill levels and all connected by a love of fibering - whether it's fun classes, new projects, new skills or a special event. We especially welcome the beginner and the not-so-confident. Our intentionally-curated collection focuses on yarn, supplies and gifts from other small businesses, especially those owned by women, families or their employees. We support fair-wage companies and those that foster ethical treatment of animals and responsible disposal of dye. Even our gift bags are made from recycled paper, not plastic. We're looking forward to meeting you!

Evoking the flower-lined paths of country walks to the color of gemstones concealed in pockets, Christine’s self-striping shades can be crafted perfectly into socks, shawls or scarves. And try the sparkle yarns for holiday fun! |
Tour of the Season
April Color of the Month: Vanity Fair Amelia Sedley, of good family, and Rebecca Sharp, an orphan, leave Miss Pinkerton's academy on Chiswick Mall to live out their lives in Vanity Fair — the world of social climbing and search for wealth. Amelia does not esteem the values of Vanity Fair; Rebecca cares for nothing else. Vanity Fair written by William Makepeace Thackeray is sometimes considered the "principal founder" of the Victorian domestic novel. In addition to April's Vanity Fair, we stock 3 semi-solid coordinating colorways to use with our Tour of The Season Colors of the Month. Fun Upcoming Classes
