Best yarn shops in Boston, Massachusetts

Windsor Button

When you need a breath of fiber after following the Freedom Trail, Windsor Button is the perfect respite. Yarn, patterns, plus of course, buttons. Open since 1936, the store focused more on bridal accessories and of course, buttons, but now the yarn is equally lovely. It is a hallowed destination in what was once the textile district of town.

Newbury Yarns

Tucked behind the shops on the street, Newbury Yarns greets you with a large round wooden table covered in finished objects, magazines and if you're lucky, a trunk show!

Yarns in the Farms

This yarn store has a comfy couch and excellent atmosphere... plus wonderful selection of yarns. Tink and Wink lift your spirits no matter how low it may go!

Seed Stitch Fine Yarn

A beautiful store on a street that boasts beads and quilting as well. Great place to knit and a wonderful selection of yarns. Courtney and crew do a great job of sourcing local yarns when possible, so you'll see things you just don't find anywhere else!

Mind's Eye Yarns

You're walking into Lucy's passion for knitting, crochet and spinning when the door opens at Minds Eye. Do not miss her lovely hand dyed yarns for socks or lace knitting.
