Knitting Shop

We carry a great selection of yarns by Patons, SRK, Diamond NOVA, Schachenmayr, Briggs & Little and and we have recently added a selection of Fortissima Sock Yarns. and a brand new product from Patons - hot from the mills. Come and see the new Silk and Baby Bamboo yarns !

We also have a selection of books, patterns and knitting needles, including a new line of bamboo needles.

When browsing our yarns, remember that the yarn companies have standardized their system for categorizing the weight of yarns. There is, however, still a range of small differences in the yarns that are in these categories, so for the most accuracy it is best to knit a swatch and follow the number of stitches for 4 inches as recommended by the pattern designer. The new Standard Weight System is linked here.
