The Yarn Spot is a full service fiber store that supports knitting, crocheting, felting, spinning and weaving with a great selection of fibers and tools, along with friendly, knowledgeable help for all skill levels. Come craft with us!

We strive to have something for every crafter for every project, searching out the best quality yarns at the best prices—everything from the most basic cottons and wools from companies like Brown Sheep Company and Berroco, to hand-dyed yarns in silk and bamboo from Three Irish Girls and Alchemy, to organic and vegan friendly yarns. We also stock yarns appropriate for various charity knitting projects, such as knitting socks for soldiers and afghan squares for hospitals. Our skilled and friendly staff will help beginners get started, and guide experts to the perfect finishing touches. If you want to learn a new skill or polish a long-forgotten technique, we offer classes in everything from beginning knitting to spinning to advanced patterns.

There’s always someone working at our long table—come out and join us!

Victoria

Victoria has been knitting seriously since the age of 18, and learned to weave and spin while living in San Francisco. She opened the Yarn Spot after a long career in theater and arts education, with stints at both Juilliard and the American Conservatory Theater. A firm believer that knitting, spinning and weaving are community-building activities, she and her partner, Jill Goldwater, welcome everyone who wants to make something, and have designed not only a full roster of fiber classes, but have also opened the Spot to lectures and projects that are important to their customers. As a teacher and tireless crafter, she loves to help others create the objects and garments they crave, and is always up for trying a new technique.

Jill

Jill’s been knitting since she was young, and her addiction led to a friendship with Victoria—they met at a knitting group! A great multi-tasker, she is always working on several projects at once. She is currently the Executive Director of Congregation Shaare Tefillah, where she focuses on community building. She is very proud of the community that the Yarn Spot has built!
