Celebrating 10 Years
August 7, 2011 was our first day!
Join us through the Fall as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary!
​

​​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 online classes, new projects, new skills or a special event. We especially welcome the beginner and the not-so-confidant.  Our intentionally-curated yarn and gift collection features companies owned by women or families, many of them from the United States. 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. Check out our website for Our Calendar, Shopping Online and more!

Cool Notions
from Coco Knits

Visit our thoughtfully designed collection of craft tools from
the maker team at Coco Knits!

We just brought in the Kraft Caddy
with as many pockets as possible - on the inside and the outside - you can never have too many!  The center is wide open for bigger items like knitting projects, lunch and a water bottle, a rolled-up sweater for travel - and the whole thing fits right down inside a tote. It's made of washable kraft paper!

Keep it on a shelf or desk as a storage bin without handles, or add short, wide leather handles (ordered separately) so you can grab it for travel.

The rest of our collection includes
(from top left)
The way-cool needle gauge, 60 colorful locking bulb stitch marker sets in a small, round cardboard box, the famous Coco Knit row counter (Joji Locatelli agrees!) and the very handy and elegant stitch fixer with how-to videos on
he Coco Knits website.

​Or you can ask us - we've got some experience with dropped stitches ;)

Trunk Show Now!
Emma's Yarns

Admit it! You love Emma's Yarns as much as we do. We just can not get enough! What is it about our yarn crush?!

It's hard to put a finger on it
but it's all about the color and the intentional choice of fibers - soft merinos, shimmery silks, and more. 

We like the unexpected additions of enticing speckles that are not overdone, unique color combinations
(oh! that's color again!)
and yes, we really like the labels
(does that make us weird?)

Visit a huge collection of 
Super Silky and Simply Spectacular DK
in the shop now through June 20th

And we love to throw in a trunk show special just for you, right?!

20 Extra Yarn Card Dollars because we're all so happy to be out and about a little bit more, the weather is warm and we're feeling a little happier.

Yarn love! Feel it at The Artful Yarn!

Holden Shawlette
Saturday, June 19 & July 17

​We love this shawlette!
It's been a Top Shop Favorite for many years and it's popularity never faades!
​It makes the perfect scarfy project for anyone. We also love that, while not named for the Holden Arboretum, it is a cool nod to a Northeast Ohio conservation attraction!

Holden, designed by Mindy Wilkes, is a classic top-down triangular shawl knitting with fingering yarn. Inspired by the waves breaking along the shore, the shawl features wavy lace and is finished with a lovely picot edge. A great first lace project and an easy summer knit!

Pattern provides directions for three sizes depending on your knitting bliss.
Pattern included with yarn purchase.

COMPLETE INFO ON OUR CURRENT COVID PRECAUTIONS

​​The CDC has announced an immediate cessation of many of the COVID precautions which have impacted the operation of shops such as The Artful Yarn. Like many of you, we received this information with mixed feelings about how to move forward.

​We support your decision to wear a mask or not. We will continue to ask people to either wash their hands or use hand sanitizer. While capacity restrictions have been lifted, you may request a shopping/help appointment before or after our regular business hours. We will also place chairs outside in our hallway if you would prefer to wait for a few people to finishing shopping and then enter our space when they have exited. Please click the link to the left for complete details on our approach going forward.
