About Us

Back in the day, 2 friends asked each other, why not open a yarn store?  It would be fun, and we could teach everyone how to knit and get to open boxes and boxes of pretty yarn!  So we did, balancing family and all, learning as we went. 

 

15 years later, you'll still find the owner, Shelley, at the shop, rearranging, adding new stock to walls, teaching someone to spin, or jabbering at anyone who will listen about weaving.  She's still dyeing after all these years and is the maker behind Palouse Yarn, bringing you saturated kettle- dyed colors, custom blended bases in natural fibers, and great project inspiration. 

 

Our mission is to keep the fiber community vibrant while supporting local and American companies.  We're here to bring you squishy yarn, irresistible fiber, affordable tools, and most importantly, good help! The shop is loaded with a great selection of wool yarns, local yarn and fiber, small mill and US- made products, big brands too, plus spinning fiber and spinning wheels, as many needles and hooks as can be squeezed onto the wall, needle felting supplies, and a growing supply of small looms, weaving tools and cone yarn.

 

Free meet ups, friendly staff, classes and events are the backbone of this creative and inclusive community.  With a newly expanded space, there is more room to gather for Yarn Circle, Friends Spinning, classes and a rest on the spouse couch.  It is Shelley's favorite to see the shop full of people sharing inspiration and good times-- it is a place where possibilities abound, creativity is nurtured, and friendships bloom.  She says, "Community happens here, now and with you.  Come join in the fun!"

 

Classes run August through April, check the Classes tab to see what's happening next.  Find us on Facebook, we always post events and classes there, and on Instagram and BlueSky for a day-in-the-life posting and last minute updates.
