Welcome to Yarnia, Portland's only DIY (do-it-yourself) yarn store!  If you haven't gotten a chance to come by the shop in person, you can read up on what it's all about at our main website, www.yarniapdx.com.

You're probably used to only seeing coned yarn used for weaving or machine knitting, but our yarn-on-cones is primarily used by hand knitters and crocheters.  Just set the cone next to your or below you as you work, and knit straight off the cone!

All our yarn, aside from the sock weight, is sold on 8-ounce cones.  Yardage will vary depending on the yarn weight, but to give you an idea of how this compares to what you may be used to knitting with, an 8-ounce cone is more than four times as much as your traditional 50g skein or ball of yarn.

Don't know how much yarn you need for a project?  Use our yardage estimator to figure it out!

If the blend you'd like is sold out, or if there aren't enough cones in stock for the project you need, shoot us an email!  More than likely we'll be able to wind up some more for you.  

Want to be alerted when we add new cones to the online shop?  Subscribe to this feed in your favorite blog/RSS reader and the new yarns will pop up as soon as they're added!

Gig Har...

« Yarnia is a great concept.  The shop is filled with thin "singles" (I put this is quotation marks...as the single strands are actually plied).  You pick up to six strands to form your yarn (depending on the desired thickness and look of the yarn).  They have various kinds (wool ...» Cortney A.
