At Hook & Needle, we believe in the power of community, the joy of learning, and the satisfaction of building something beautiful with our own hands. Our journey began in 2015 when our founder, Cristi Blankemeyer, opened this shop with a dream and a heart for people.
Hook & Needle is not just a yarn store; it's a place where friendships are formed and creativity flourishes. We specialize in selling high-quality yarns for knitting and crocheting projects, catering to both beginners and experienced crafters. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and materials you need to bring your creative visions to life.
What sets us apart is our commitment to offering a wide range of options. We understand that every project is unique, and that's why we stock a variety of yarns to suit different preferences and needs. Whether you're looking for a luxurious, indie hand~dyed yarn, or our personal staff favorite Malabrigo Rios yarn, or a workhorse, machine washable yarn for a baby gift, we've got you covered.
We believe that knitting and crocheting are more than just hobbies; they are artistic forms of self-expression and a way to connect with others. We invite you to join our vibrant community of crafters, where you'll find inspiration, support, and lifelong friendships.
As you browse through our carefully curated selection of yarns, notions, and gifts, we hope you feel the same passion and excitement that we do. We are here to guide you, answer your questions, and celebrate your successes. Together, let's create something beautiful and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Fiber friends are friends forever, and we can't wait to welcome you into our creative community!!
