About Us

We are a local yarn store in Berkeley, California. Our space is bright, open, and welcoming. Our staff is friendly and helpful. Can't come see us in person? We are available online too. We carry a full selection of indie-dyed, non-superwash, budget friendly, and luxury yarns. We support many small and micro businesses, whether they be indie dyers, designers, or makers.

We are founded on community. We started as an off shoot of an Oakland Stitch & Bitch group and continue to hold community at the heart of our mission to support and grow our crafting community. Come join us at the table to visit with us or to get help with your project. There is always room for one more; all are welcome.

The owners, Maia and Sally, are big fans of sweater knitting and a broad spectrum of yarns from rustic to ridiculously soft. They are also big fans of color: bright, bold, moody, and soft and strive to have colors for all skin tones. Education is another cornerstone of the shop. They are building a library of information for your use via the Blog and the Useful Information in the footer of every page of the website. Is there something you wonder about? Please stop by or shoot us an email.
