Welcome to our yarn and fiber shop in Paige, Texas!

We are a full-service yarn and fiber shop with a focus on local, eco-friendly and uniquely handpainted and/or handspun yarns and fibers.

We carry a large and varied selection of yarns for knitting, crochet and weaving, along with one of the largest selections of spinning and felting fibers in Texas! In addition to carrying yarns in skeins and hanks, we offer a nice selection of coned yarns and threads from cottons and linens to wool/silk blends.

Check out our spinning and weaving tools, too! We have looms, spinning wheels, hand-crafted drop spindles, drum and hand carders and loads more, including Indian charkhas that we fine tune to spin perfectly for you.

With so much to see, you'll want to make us your destination when you are traveling anywhere in central Texas! For those in the greater central Texas area, we look forward to being your favorite LYS. While you are here, try out our Ruta Maya coffee, a lovely Stash tea or Izzy fruit drink. Sit and enjoy, meet new friends and you may want to spend the day! Oh, and come welcome our newest staff, our angora shop bunnies, Coco and Chanel.

What's New?

Amy King's book all about spinning the yarn you want, Spin Control, has now arrived! They are selling fast so ask us to reserve a copy for you so you won't have to wait.

The Mango Moon DK Recycled Silk is in and oohlala! We whipped up a scarf in no time flat and it is just the perfect accent and a one-skein project to boot! Colors are rich jeweltones.

For the lace knitters and weavers, we got in glorious Claudia Handpaints Silk Lace (a 20/2 handpainted 100% silk yarn), and Fiesta's Ballerina, a lace-weight 50/50 alpaca tencel blend that is so soft and lustrous you'll want it next to your skin.

Just in, a complete restocking of Xie, SWTC's 100% Bamboo on cones. This makes beautiful shawls and scarves for knitting, crochet and weaving. We have all colors in quantity. The more we use this yarn, the more we love it!

Oh My! We got in a one-time special offering of Lantern Moon needles! What makes these so special? They are made out of Dalbergia, that has unique color variations.Once these needles are gone, there will be no more! From now until July 5th, we will be offering them at 30% off their regular retail price, making these luxury needles at great bargain and opportunity to try them out.

Also, in the needle front, Addi Clicks have been hard to come by! But we now have very special edition sets in silk Della Q interchangeable needle cases, while they last. The cases are awesome!

We now have Ty-Dy Sock from Knit One, Crochet, Too!. It's soft, the colors are so interesting and bold, and there are 460+ yards on every ball - enough for even a large pair of socks.

Brown Sheep Naturespun on cones... yes, you read that right. And we have it in loads of colors! We are listening, so please make sure you keep your requests coming...

Then we got in yet another shipment of Marble Chunky, the beautiful chunky that makes the Knitting Pure and Simple Bulky Shrug up to size Large with just one ball (341 yards on each one!). Come in and try on our model... made longer in the sleeves and length, and still just one ball! For a luxurious look and feel, we held it with a strand of the laceweight Louet Kid Mohair.

We love models and know you do, too. So we are thrilled to have a gorgeous sweater model out of Haze, the supersoft corn/cotton handpainted yarn we love, and one made from Linares, the Ester Bitran cotton/viscose blend that has beautiful drape and sheen..

And on that note, here is a sampling of the handpainted yarns we have gotten in recently:

• Beautiful Linares, by Ester Bitran. This is a hand dyed 55% cotton, 45% viscose yarn that drapes wonderfully, has 229 yds to the skein and the colors are dreamy. This will make great spring and summer tops and scarves.
• Another Ester Bitran yarn, Olmue, is lighter weight, 85% cotton, 15% rayon, also hand dyed, and would make light shawls, tops, cardis and even socks! The colors are unique and produce spectacular results. You will want to feel and see this one!
• Ella Rae Lace Merino! This amazing handpainted yarn is a tightly spun, machine washable, extra-fine merino that is perfect for socks (ask to see Susan's socks!), or the featured shop model, and so much more! Did we mention that we are drooling over this yarn?
• And then there is the Araucana Lonco Multi yarn, a handpainted fingering weight mercerized cotton. This is a 5/2 weight cotton (for the weavers and crocheters among us), and the colors are luscious! There is a sample piece from a scarf woven out of this that really shows off the colors and hand of this yarn.
• Haze, the corn/cotton handpainted yarn by Queensland Collection, we already mentioned. Did we say this yarn is good enough to eat? Subtle colors and wonderfully soft, this will be one you will want to try for a summer top.
• The wonderful and unique colorways of Farmhouse Yarns' Fannie's Fingering yarn. Each skein is unique and has a complex and unexpected burst of colors.
• Plain and Fancy Wool and Yarn Co's Sportsweight Handpaints and Hand Dipped. This yarn is definitely unique in that it is spun exactly to specs of the Texas indy dyer, then dyed by her in glorious and unexpected complex colorways. And yes, we have a scarf model made from this... in fact, Gus our nearly real shop dog is resisting sharing!
• and last, but not least, we are once again dyeing our very own Yarnorama Handpaints! We are expanding our fiber offerings, too, to include a gorgeous All-American produced Alpaca/Merino blend, a Merino Chunky and Merino Top for spinners.
  

Speaking of spinners, we have gotten in some corn fiber from SWTC/Louet and some of Louet's multicolored merino/bamboo/mohair blends. Then there is Sari Silk fiber in 250gm packages. Super lustrous and soft, this exceeded our expectations, and that's saying A LOT. This was a special order of a limited stock, so we don't know when or if we will get them in again.

Also, for spinners and felters, we got in a special spinning top order of 50/50 merino/yak, 50/50 camel down/tussah silk, 100% baby camel down. And recently in, New Zealand Coopworth roving in white and several colors of natural browns. This stuff spins easily for the beginner and more advanced spinner and takes dyes beautifully.

For weavers, lace knitters and spinners, we got in a new shipment of Jaeggerspun Zephyr. This is a top-of-the-line 50/50 merino/silk lace yarn at a very affordable price and we can wind it off into 4oz cones. Let us know what colors you want and we will make sure we have them for you as we build up our stock!

Finally, our weaving/spinning studio is now set up for weekly rentals. We are able to rent looms and spinning wheels for use in the studio and for classes. We are very excited about this and hope you will be, too! Check our Studio Space page for times and fee schedule.

What's Coming?

Fiesta... yes! Ballet and Grace, the luscious alpaca blends in DK and lace weight for knitters,crocheter and weavers in lots of colorways.. Colors are amazing, textures are dreamy!

Silky Wool, the Elsebeth Lavold wool/silk/nylon blend that is light and airy, perfect for knitters/crochets, but a fantastic weaving yarn, too. I hope we surprise you with all the color choices! that's not too much of a tease, is it?

New yarns and colors from Manos del Uruguay, Alpaca with a Twist, Mirasol and more!
