Story

At Second Story Knits, we offer beautiful yarns, expert advice, and a warm and friendly atmosphere. You do the rest – and it’s amazing what you can do!

A delicate lace shawl? An indestructible toddler sweater? We’ve got you covered. Our yarns include everything from hearty basics to sinful luxury fibers – although we will confess to a preference for hand-dyes and natural fibers.

Just starting out? Need to brush up a skill? Learn something new with one of our project and technique classes, or take an individual lesson to master something tricky.

Want to stitch with others? Come share your latest project at our weekly community knit/crochet night, or drop in any time for some quick help.

We’re glad to see you whenever you come by, and hope we’ll be your new favorite yarn store!
