The Artful Yarn is a fun, boutique local 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 classes, new projects, new skills or a special event. (We do love to throw a party!) We expecially 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. 

Please know how grateful we are for your support. As this difficult time continues, The Artful Yarn follows government recommendations for maintaining a safe & healthy retail place to visit and shop.  Click here for complete details

Learn to Knit in the Round: Ellis Hat
​Online Class

Thursday, August 20 & September 3
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

This great, great pattern is perfect for your first hat in-the-round. We highly recommend Spun Right Round Squish DK (250-yards soft, superwash merino) for this project. Add a faux fur pompom and you have a great gift! Or keep it for yourself - you deserve it!

This hat is knit bottom up and includes sizing for the whole family with a slouchy or beanie version.

Class 1: Discussion regarding hat sizing, reviewing the pattern, learning how to join in the round

Class 2: Learning how to decrease at the crown and finish your hat

Prerequisites: Cast-on, knit, purl, bind-off. It is helpful to know K2tog and SSK, but not required

Instructor: Cathy Hougan

Burst into Bloom
designed by Tina Tse

Designer Tina Tse is a favorite of new sales associate, Kelli Minelli - you'll see Kelli more in the shop in August and then on Saturdays in the Fall.

We love this colorful wrap with great textures! And it uses just two skeins of fingering weight yarn. Kelli has created a few one-of-a-kind color combos from some of our favorites in the shop.

Tina's patterns are not available on Ravelry but we have access through Tina's website. Our kit price includes the pattern and you can choose USPS shipping, in-store or curbside pick-up.

Kits include 800+ total yards fingering weight yarn from companies including Stitch Together, Spun Right Round, Madelinetosh and Malabrigo.

Tina Tse is an American-born Chinese from Queens, NY, currently living in Metro Detroit, MI.
We love introducing new designers to you!
We're talking with Tina now about a trunk show and visit to an upcoming Zoom Chat!

BURST INTO BLOOM KITS

Celebrating 9 Years!

The Artful Yarn is celebrating its 9th anniversary and we’re throwing a virtual party! First pour your favorite beverage then party along with us!

The Skeinaversary Mystery Pack is an individually-curated yarn surprise with a twist and it’s fun!

Choose the amount you want to spend and we'll put together a fabulous yarn surprise + knit or crochet pattern for you + a fun notion + one of our most popular recipes from past parties at The Artful Yarn.

In the notes of your order please share a memory you have about The Artful Yarn to guide our selection for you – it could be singing "Sweet Caroline" at a trunk show, sweating it out at OTN Rally Day before the Town Hall had air conditioning, shopping in the dark when the electricity went out, anything – you get the idea! And please tell us if you prefer a knit or a crochet pattern! Otherwise, we'll pick something fun for you ourselves!

​Thank you for 9 wonderful years!

CELEBRATE HERE!
