We thought it fitting that the first blog post of our Shop Hop Website profile the "oldest" yarn shop on the tour. We put oldest in quotations because while they have been around for over 40 years, they certainly aren't old in spirit. Shelves in the Yarnery pair tried and true traditional Rowan yarns with new hand dyed yarns like Madelinetosh with ease.
If you haven't been to the Yarnery before, you are in for a treat. Nestled in an old house on beautiful Grand Avenue in St. Paul, this well stocked shop is comforting from the moment you step inside. The shelves are full of yarn, the bookcases are full of a great selection of books, and completed samples are everywhere!
The Kreisman Maddux family are the original and current owners! They also own Beka, Inc. which manufactures high quality rigid heddle looms, yarn swifts and toys at their St. Paul location on Selby Avenue. Even after 40 years, they remain dedicated to innovation, quality, and above all, a love of excellent yarn.
