Our Westport Roots
We're proud to call Westport, CT home. Our town has a rich history of supporting the arts, and our yarn store continues that tradition in its own way.
We're inspired every day by the coastal beauty of our surroundings—the ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and lush greens often find their way into our color palettes.
Being a local business also means we're deeply connected to our neighbors. We welcome knitters and crocheters from Westport, Fairfield County, and across Southern Connecticut, and we're always delighted to see familiar faces come through the door.
We even carry our own hand dyed Stitch Haven Brand of Yarn in our own colorways, all named for local Westport and Fairfield County locations and scenes.
Getting Started is Easy
If you're new to knitting or crochet, don't worry—we make it simple to begin. Start with one of our beginner crochet kits, which include yarn, hooks, and an easy-to-follow pattern. Or we can set you up with a skein of yarn of your choice and a pair of needles to get started. Pair that with a beginner's class and you'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something beautiful.
