That Yarn Store

Live music this Saturday!

About Me

We're a funky (in a good way) little family-run store in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. We have your requisite yarn and needles, and we try to stock unusual yarns from small manufacturers (we have buffalo yarn!). We also have classes, a men's night, fun stuff to do on Fridays, and some comfy couches for your knitting and crochet enjoyment. We're bored, so stop in! 5028 Eagle Rock Blvd www.thatyarnstore.com

If you want to know what we're all about (hokeypokey) then see our Squidoo Page .

My Interests

Knitting and crocheting, obviously, it consumes our life. We dream of yarn-overs and purls. And cheese, can't forget the cheese.

I'd like to meet:

Knitters, Crocheters, lovers of yarn. Or people kind of ok with yarn, or people ambivalent to yarn.

A few events coming up. For more information, please see our website www.thatyarnstore.com

The Friends of That Yarn Store will hold a yard sale on Saturday, October 18, from 9-4pm at 4952 Vincent Ave. in Eagle Rock 90041. All proceeds will benefit our favorite LYS, That Yarn Store.

Please donate items for sale - fyi, we’re avoiding all clothing except for kids, vintage/retro, and high-end. Drop items off at 4952 Vincent Ave before 8am on the morning of, or at That Yarn Store sometime that week.

Tough economic times call for creative responses. Please help us keep this small, local business part of our community. Thanks!
