Amazing Threads was launched in 2002. There were only 8 yarn shops in the
Twin Cities and nothing in the NW suburbs. Amazing Threads had simple
beginnings in a small space in Osseo, MN.
However, we soon outgrew our space as the textile industry made new and
fabulous fibers available to us and our community of knitters grew. In 2004 we moved to new digs in Maple
Grove that included a bigger sales floor and a large classroom space perfect
for classes, knit groups, and hosting guest designers. We now have the perfect yarn shop full
of wonderful yarn, needles, books, patterns, bags, notions, accessories and
more. Our library of books is
second to none.
Yarn, knitting, friendships, shared passions…”So much yarn,
so little time” we often lament.
We only do yarn for fiber enthusiasts while specializing in yarn and
color coordination for any project.
The MN Knitters Guild tagged us years ago as a “hand dyers heaven.” We carry a great selection of hand dyed
yarns (Prism, MadelineTosh, Malabrigo, Claudia’s, Zen Garden, Dream in Color,
Shibui, Alchemy, Baah Yarns, Great Adirondack, and more) plus lovely base
fibers from a great selection of vendors (Rowan, Berroco, Classic Elite,
Plymouth, Knitting Fever, Euro, to name a few). We are a Rowan Shop within a Shop. We have space dedicated for Rowan, SMC Select, & SMC
yarns.
In addition to a shop filled with fiber and a classroom for
our community of knitters, crocheters and social fiber groups, we have project
samples galore. The staff love to
create of samples and it shows.
Our goal is a sample in every yarn with carry. We love customer show and tell as well. It’s amazing when we see yarns come
alive in a variety of accessories or garments.
Stop in and become a member of our community of
knitters. Join one of our social
knitting groups or register for one of the 30+ classes we offer every
quarter. Visit us on the web to
find out “What’s New” (www.Amazing-Threads.com)
each week and catch one of my weekly blasts that includes free patterns and
knitting resources. Share the
passion for your craft.
