The Lonely Skein is the first yarn store in Corvallis in nearly ten years. Opened by long-time knitters who love color and texture, our goal is to provide a wide variety of high-end yarns, fibers, tools, and accessories for the fiber arts community. We carry yarn from a variety of independent dyers as well familiar companies like Malabrigo. Other treasures are available as well, so bring your non-knitter friends in with you. Art, pottery, and knitted items compliment the yarn.
Come visit us and let us know what your favorite yarns are.
