Planning a Denver yarn-store trip
Only Yarn Shoppe Denver and LambShoppe are within Denver city limits. The others are nearby: The Tangled Ball in Edgewater; Blazing Star Ranch and Wooden Spools in Englewood; and Colorful Yarns and Piney Creek Yarn in Centennial. If you are visiting more than one, map the route first rather than treating them as downtown stops.
Bring your pattern, required yarn weight and yardage, and a photo or sample if you need to match a colour. For a first visit, our yarn-store etiquette guide explains how to get useful help while supporting local shops.
Budget and creative-reuse yarn options
For donated or secondhand supplies, two current craft-reuse stores are worth knowing. ReCreative Denver, at 765 Santa Fe Drive in Denver, sells donated art and craft materials including yarn. The Craft Box, at 6191 West 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, specializes in secondhand craft supplies, including knitting and crochet materials. Inventory at both changes frequently, so neither replaces a full-service yarn shop when you need a specific yarn or dye lot.
Looking for hand-dyed yarn online?
Local yarn shops are worth visiting for hands-on advice and community. When you need a colourway or base they do not carry, shop Wild Woollys hand-dyed yarn online. Our current collection includes fingering, DK, worsted, bulky, and mohair-silk options dyed in small batches.
