Whether you enjoy picking up knitting needles or crochet hooks, the yarn shops around San Diego can help you create fabulous projects. They carry everything from cashmere to merino wool. The shops near our San Diego apartments include:

Needlecraft Cottage

Found in a historic cottage, Needlecraft Cottage has been a local fixture for over 40 years. Megan, Aaron, and April took over in 2020. They strive to bring young people back to handicraft arts and invite all skill levels to come and learn and collaborate. In addition to the yarn, you can also shop for hooks, needles, and pattern books. For a fun challenge, join the shop's Sweater Club. You'll receive ten percent off the tools and materials needed to make your sweater and enjoy a monthly in-person club meet-up and one-on-one assistance by appointment. You have two months to complete your project.

Apricot Yarn & Supply

Sara Heckman learned to knit as a young girl. Her first project was riddled with holes. Years later, when Sara was pregnant, she decided to teach herself to knit again. Today, she owns Apricot Yarn & Supply and enjoys helping beginning and seasoned knitters and crocheters create amazing projects. Yarn types include alpaca, silk, and cashmere. To enhance your skills, ask about the shop's classes.

Yarn & Thread Expressions

When Carol Fuller decided to change careers, Yarn & Thread Expressions was born. She learned to knit and crochet as a young girl and knew she wanted to turn her passion for these handicrafts into a boutique. The yarn comes in a variety of colors and textures, so you're sure to find something to make your newest pattern. At the counter, you may find the friendly shop dog sound asleep.
