Notes

Knitting Bee has a really good variety of yarns for knitting and crochet in a bright and cozy shop staffed by friendly people. Open Mondays in December and January.

You'll find all the big name yarn companies represented including Rowan, Classic Elite, Berroco, Noro, Debbie Bliss, Cascade and Plymouth. Plus lots of artisan dyers like Dream in Color, Malabrigo, Mountain Colors, Manos del Uruguay, and Lorna's Laces. And local favorites Stitchjones, Black Trillium and Frog Creek.

The shop also has a great selection of books and patters, lots of options in needles and notions, and a small area dedicated to spinning and needle felting.

Located just west of Portland, just a couple of minutes once you exit the Sunset Hwy. Worth the drive from downtown, or a quick stop if you're heading out to the coast.

Jami and her staff are knowlegable and welcoming. Selection is varied and good. From handspun to Noro and everything in between, you'll find it here. Stock is rearranged seasonally so the yarns you seek the most are usually in the front of the store. Drop in knit nights are every Wednesday and there's a free sock club monthly on Friday evenings (they request you purchase your yarn at the store). Don't let the strip-mall fool you, this is a great place!

A great LYS! I've been shopping there for a couple years and the only time I ever stumped them was when I asked for an elastic drive band for my spinning wheel, which is a pretty obscure thing to be looking for.

Excellent service and selection, the friendliest store I've found in the Portland area, and they seem able to help with any problem I ask about.

Definitely worth the drive from downtown Portland! Beemergirl and I expanded our knitting tour to include this shop and we were treated to a wonderfully organized store and an engaging staff! The owner chatted with us about the history of how she opened the store (just 5 years ago!) and we have to hand it to her, she has done a marvelous job!

A real gem of a knit shop! SunflowerCompass and I unfortunately walked into the shop about 10 minutes before closing due to heavy traffic on 84. The staff allowed us to look around at our leisure, while they worked on closing the shop. They even wound the yarn that I purchased- It is important to them to not cut corners or rush, making sure that all our needs were met. I will definitely visit this store again when in Portland!
