The Hook and Needle Nook

 We love our Northwest Indy Dyers here at The Nook. The Nook stocks a variety of local yarn dyer's yarns and love to support their small businesses and creative genius! We love independent dyers so much, that we also have our own line of yarn, dyed by Esther!                                          Lyrical Fibers Yarn Dyed by Tiffany Landres Every single fiber artist and indy dyer has a different style.

It is a treat to see them all walk through the door, when we make an order.       ...

If you want to find your niche, start your fiber journey at The Nook.  We teach classes and I have many different ...

At The Hook and Needle Nook  you will find an amazingly hospitable place to sit and knit, crochet, or spin.  We always have refreshments on hand, a smile, and a comfortable place to sit.  AND lots of friendly advice on your pet projects. Whether you are having trouble with a particular pattern or yarn you are currently working on, or you need some help finding yarn and a pattern, you can start at The Nook. We are wonderful enablers and there are great instructors here. We always have time to help with the fiber arts. If you are looking for a wheel or a loom, we would love to show you what we have on hand. In addition, we will even let you take them for a spin. The idea is to have a nice relaxed place where you can calmly craft, shop or ask for help. Even with Covid implementations (masks and social distancing) we continue to keep up the comradery. Have a group that gets together to get crafty?  Contact us!   We would be happy to have your group meet here....
