Yarn Store, Knitting & Crochet Classes in Westport, CT
Your Local Yarn Store and Creative Community in Westport, Connecticut
Welcome to Stitch Haven LLC, a local yarn store and fiber arts community in Westport, CT where knitters, crocheters, and makers can find beautiful yarn, dependable tools, expert guidance, and plenty of inspiration for their next project.
Located at 582 Post Road East in Westport, Stitch Haven serves fiber artists throughout Westport, Fairfield County, and surrounding communities in Southern Connecticut. Whether you are shopping for the perfect yarn for a sweater, choosing your first pair of knitting needles, looking for crochet supplies, or hoping to learn a new skill, our team is here to help make your next project more enjoyable from the very first stitch.
We believe a great yarn store should offer more than shelves of yarn. It should be a place where you can see colors in person, feel different fibers, ask questions, discover new ideas, and connect with people who share your love of making things by hand.
That is what you will find at Stitch Haven.
Premium Yarn, Knitting Supplies and Crochet Supplies
Every project begins with the right materials.
At Stitch Haven, we carry a thoughtfully curated collection of yarn for knitters, crocheters, and fiber artists with a wide range of interests and experience levels. From classic fibers and versatile everyday yarns to hand-dyed colors and specialty blends, our selection is chosen to help makers create projects they will enjoy working on and be proud to finish.
Looking for yarn for a sweater, scarf, shawl, baby blanket, socks, hat, afghan, or gift? Our knowledgeable staff can help you consider fiber content, weight, texture, color, gauge, and project requirements so you can make a more confident choice.
In addition to yarn, Stitch Haven offers the tools and accessories you need to keep creating, including:
- Knitting needles in a variety of sizes and materials
- Crochet hooks
- Stitch markers and notions
- Measuring tools
- Project bags and organizers
- Buttons and accessories
- Patterns, books, and project inspiration
- Supplies for beginner and advanced projects
Shopping for yarn in person gives you something an online product photo cannot: the ability to see colors together, compare textures, feel the yarn in your hands, and talk through your project with someone who understands the craft.
Visit our yarn and notions shop to learn more, or browse Stitch Haven's online collection when shopping from home.

Want to learn how to knit? Interested in learning crochet? Already know the basics but want help tackling a sweater, shawl, new technique, or challenging pattern?
Stitch Haven offers knitting and crochet classes in Westport for beginners, experienced makers, and just about everyone in between.
Our classes combine hands-on instruction with the welcoming, social environment that makes fiber arts so much fun. Small-group instruction gives students an opportunity to ask questions, practice techniques, solve problems, and build confidence while spending time with other creative people.
Beginner Knitting and Crochet Classes
If you are brand new to fiber arts, you do not need to figure everything out on your own.

These classes are also a great option for people who learned years ago and would like a refresher before starting a new project.
Weekly Classes and Guided Groups
Sometimes the best way to improve is simply to keep stitching.
Our weekly knitting and crochet classes and groups give local makers an opportunity to work on projects, ask questions, overcome frustrating mistakes, learn from an instructor, and enjoy the company of other knitters and crocheters.
Bring what you are working on, settle in, and keep your project moving forward.

A Yarn Shop Where You Can Ask Questions
Anyone who knits or crochets knows that projects do not always go according to plan.
A dropped stitch appears. A pattern instruction makes no sense. Your gauge is off. The yarn you loved in the skein behaves differently once you start working with it. Or you simply cannot decide which color will look best.
Those moments are one reason having a knowledgeable local yarn store matters.
At Stitch Haven, personal service is an important part of the experience. Our team enjoys helping customers find materials, think through projects, understand their options, and become more confident makers.
You can also meet the Stitch Haven staff and instructors before your next visit or class.
We welcome beginners who have never held a knitting needle as warmly as experienced knitters and crocheters who have been creating for decades. You do not need to know exactly what you need before you walk through the door.
Bring your idea, your pattern, your questions—or simply your curiosity.
We'll help you take the next step.

More Than a Yarn Store: A Place for the Fairfield County Fiber Arts Community
Stitch Haven was created around a simple idea: making is better when people can make together.
Knitting and crochet may begin with yarn and a pair of needles or a hook, but the experience can become much more than the finished object. Fiber arts create opportunities to slow down, practice a skill, exchange ideas, solve problems, and meet people who enjoy creating things by hand.
That sense of community is an important part of Stitch Haven.
Our Westport yarn shop welcomes customers from throughout Fairfield County, including Fairfield, Norwalk, Weston, New Canaan, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich, Ridgefield, Trumbull, Milford, and neighboring Connecticut communities.
If you have been searching for a yarn store near Westport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, or Stamford, we invite you to make Stitch Haven your next stop.

Open Table Time and Ongoing Project Help
Sometimes you do not need a formal class. You simply want a comfortable place to work, talk with other makers, find inspiration, and finally make some progress on the project sitting in your bag.
Stitch Haven's Open Table Time gives fiber lovers an opportunity to gather at the shop, work on projects, trade ideas, and spend time with other members of the local knitting and crochet community.
The shop also offers additional guided groups and private or semi-private lesson options for makers who want more focused help.
Schedules, availability, pricing, and class offerings can change, so check our current class information or contact the store before planning around a particular session.
New to Knitting or Crochet? Start Here
Learning a fiber art can feel intimidating when you are looking at unfamiliar needles, hooks, yarn weights, patterns, and terminology.
It does not have to be.
One of the easiest ways to start is to choose a manageable first project, get the right supplies, and learn a few fundamental techniques from someone who can answer questions as you go.
Our team can help you select beginner-friendly yarn and tools, and our introductory classes provide hands-on instruction in a supportive environment.
Once you understand the basics, an entire world of projects opens up. Scarves can lead to hats. Hats can lead to sweaters. A first granny square can eventually turn into blankets, bags, garments, and gifts.
The goal is not to know everything on day one. It is to learn your first few stitches and enjoy making progress.
Explore our beginner knitting and crochet classes in Westport to get started.
Experienced Maker? Find Your Next Project at Stitch Haven
If knitting or crochet is already part of your life, Stitch Haven gives you a place to discover something new.
Browse yarns you have not worked with before. Experiment with a new fiber or color combination. Find materials for a pattern sitting in your queue. Join a project class. Get another perspective when a pattern becomes challenging. Or simply stop in and see what inspires you.
Because our yarn collection is curated rather than simply stocked with as many products as possible, visiting the shop can be a great way to discover fibers, colors, and project ideas you may not have considered.
You can also explore project classes and specialty workshops designed to help knitters and crocheters build on the skills they already have.
Your next favorite project might begin with a pattern you planned months ago—or with a skein of yarn you did not know you were looking for.
