Crafting
community
one stitch
at a time.
A small yarn shop with a wide open door. Whether you've never held a needle, you've finished a hundred sweaters, or you're simply curious about the warm light in the window — pull up a chair. We saved you one.
For the brand new.
Never made a stitch? We'll help you cast on, choose your first yarn, and leave the shop already knitting.
For the lifelong maker.
Specialty fibers, real tools, and a fellow maker behind the counter who actually wants to talk about your gauge.
For the curious.
Just wandered over from Manito Park? Come in. Touch the yarn. Stay a while. There's no wrong reason to visit.
"You'll smell the bakery first — then the wool."
The Shop
A neighborhood
gathering place
wrapped in wool.
Twisted Stitch Yarn lives on Spokane's South Hill, just steps from the gardens of Manito Park and right next door to Rockwood Bakery. It's the kind of corner where neighbors run into each other — sometimes with a coffee in one hand and a half-finished shawl in the other.
Inside, you'll find shelves stocked with thoughtfully chosen yarns, a long table that always has room for one more, and a couple of makers who genuinely light up when you bring in a tricky pattern. We're a shop, but we like to think of ourselves first as a community — a place where projects start, friendships grow, and creativity gets the room it deserves.

What We Carry
Chosen by hand,
for hands that make.
Every skein, hook, and stitch marker in the shop earned its place on the shelf. We curate small, lean toward natural fibers and small mills, and we keep the staples you reach for every project.
Featured fibers
Wools, alpacas, cottons, and the occasional indulgent silk blend.
Yarn
01From workhorse worsteds to a single sumptuous skein meant for one perfect shawl — fibers chosen for how they feel in your lap.
- · Wool & merino
- · Alpaca
- · Cotton blends
- · Silk blends
- · Hand-dyed
- · Local mills
Needles & Hooks
02Straight, circular, double-pointed, interchangeable sets — plus crochet hooks in every size and a few ergonomic favorites worth the upgrade.
Notions
03Stitch markers, tape measures, darning needles, blocking mats, project bags — all the small things that make a project finishable.
Tools & Supplies
04Swifts, ball winders, gauge rulers, scissors that actually cut yarn — the gear that quietly makes everything easier.
Patterns & Books
05A small, loved selection of pattern books and single patterns — including a few you'll only find in shops like ours.
Classes & Community
Where projects
become people
you know.
Our class schedule and our Saturday gatherings are the heart of the shop. Bring whatever you're working on — or nothing at all — and settle in.
A quick heads up
Classes are on a gentle pause until summer.
We're resting the schedule for a beat. Our full lineup of in-person classes returns just after Labor Day — and Open Knit/Crochet keeps going every single Saturday in the meantime.
Open Knit & Crochet
Saturdays · 12:30 – 4:00 pm · all skill levels, all projects, all welcome.
Bring your project
Whatever you're stuck on — bring it. Someone at the table has been there.
Bring a friend
Even one who doesn't knit yet. We have a hook and a smile ready.
Or just bring yourself
A pot's on. The conversation's good. Stay for an hour or all afternoon.

Good to Know
Class info,
plainly said.
Our class policies are simple and shared up front, so everyone can plan with confidence. Questions? Call the shop — we're happy to walk through any of it.
Reach the shopIn person
All classes meet here at the shop, in person, so we can sit at the table with you.
Class size
Spots are limited so each maker gets real attention. Registration is first-come, first-served and requires full payment to hold your seat.
Supplies
Yarn, needles, and supplies are usually not included with class fees. We'll send a clear list when you register, and we'll happily help you choose everything in-store.
Minimum
Classes need at least 2 students to run.
Ages
Group classes are for ages 16 and up, unless a class is specifically noted as open to younger makers.
Refunds
Class fees are non-refundable. With at least 3 days' notice before your class, we can convert your fee to store credit or transfer it to another class. After that window, we're unable to issue credit or transfers.
Missed class
We're not able to offer make-up sessions for missed classes.
If we cancel
If the shop cancels a class — for any reason — you'll receive a full refund. No questions, no hoops.
Private & Semi-Private Lessons
Learn at your pace,
on your project.
Want to start that sweater? Finally figure out magic loop? Bring a small group of friends and learn together? We offer private, semi-private, and custom lessons designed around exactly what you want to make.
Usually capped at 4–6 people so everyone gets hands-on help.
No minimum age. Curious kids welcome — children under 12 just need an adult or guardian present.
Topic, length, and skill level shaped around you.
Lesson Rates
flat & fairFirst student
