Welcome to the Coastal Yarns blog!

This page will update every Tuesday and Thursday with information about what's new in the shop, what we're focusing on this week, and will share some inspiration for the yarns we all work with and love!

Today I'm taking you on a quick tour of the shop, back to front! Our store has two sets of "Dutch" doors - on nice days, we keep the top half open. In this image you can see our sale shelf and knitting corner. 

We have comfortable seating in our teaching/workspace for knitters and non knitters all week long. If you come in on a Friday evening, you'll be able to meet our local, open knit group. We're open late on Fridays (Until almost 9:00!) and the group is open and free to join. Come on in and knit with us!

More seating and magazines, plus lots of gifts for knitters! We have people come into the shop who have traveled to Ireland! They're always surprised and pleased at our range of "Wacky Woolies" mugs - sheep and knitters, we just go together!

 We're waiting on a shipment of Blue Moon fiber arts, but we still have lots of gorgeous hand-dyed sock yarns. Here's just a taste of what we have in stock today - Socks that Rock Medium and Lightweight by Blue Moon, Sock Candy, and Madelinetosh Sock.


 On one side of the shop we keep our wool-free blends, for our customers with sensitivities to wool (or those who just want a nice linen/silk blend for warmer weather knitting!) We carry Sirdar baby yarns, and have many of their pattern booklets as well!


On the other side of the shop are wool blends, alpaca, and our local hand-dyed selections! We carry several types of Blue Moon Fiber Arts, as well as alpaca yarns from farms local to the Pacific Northwest! 



Hope to see you soon!
