Read MoreI live in Kansas City, but for yarn (and most recently for a rigid heddle weaving class), I go to Lawrence, KS, to a magnificent store called The Yarn Barn.
It is located downtown Lawrence, which is worth a day trip all on its own. Parking ont he street in front of the store (if you are lucky and note: during the week) is paid parking with an App. It is free on Sundays. If you don’t want to pay, there is a parking garage on the street parallel behind it on the top level.
Now to the important part: this place is a true unicorn in the yarn world. Yarn Barn has the most knowledgeable staff I have ever met in a yarn store. They hire true artisans who have studied at different fiber arts and who teach many of the classes.
This store introduced me to yarn I didn’t know existed. Once you use yarn like this, it’s impossible to go to Joann or Michael’s. Truly. The quality of their yarn and their looms and other equipment is impeccable.
Pictures attached are from a recent weaving class. I’m a prolific mosaic crocheter and love, love, love the Malabrigo yarn they sell from Uruguay and Peru as well as a brand called Sirdar from the UK…
If you’re wanting to learn a yarn or fiber craft, check out their website! They are one of the best yarn stores with the most competent teachers not only in the Midwest, but in the whole US!
