We love knitting. No, scratch that. We are absolutely and wholeheartedly obsessed with it! Needles, crochet hooks, Tunisian crochet, felting, lace making—every part of it brings us immense joy. We've noticed that people fall into two categories: those who find knitting calming and those who find it infuriating. We’re definitely in the first group.

Like many knitters, we started with whatever yarn was available—something simple, budget-friendly, and not necessarily eco-friendly. But once we discovered Italian stock yarn, there was no turning back.

Cashmere, alpaca, baby merino, eucalyptus, silk, linen—just hearing these names is enough to make us swoon! And the tactile experience? It’s pure pleasure, and we can't wait to share it with others.

Skein yarn is wonderful when our vision aligns with the designer’s. But what if we suddenly crave something fluffy, flowing, and in a specific color? Blending skeins doesn’t always work because the yarn can become too thick. Cone yarn offers endless creative possibilities: you can mix and match fibers in any combination to achieve the perfect thickness and texture.

And then, there’s the magic of bloom—the way yarn transforms after a gentle wash and heat treatment. It softens, fluffs up, and reaches its full potential. It’s a kind of textile alchemy that never ceases to amaze us.

💡 At our store, you can buy yarn starting from just 50 grams, giving you full creative freedom. Please choose carefully — we do not offer returns. If you're unsure, start with the minimum quantity to get to know the yarn.



That’s why we opened Good Yarn in the most creative city in America—Portland! We wanted to create a space where everyone can immerse themselves in the beauty of Italian yarn magic. But more than that, we wanted a place where people could come together—to knit, sip tea, watch a movie, chat with friends…

And it looks like it’s working! Come visit us, let’s get to know each other!
