Looped Yarn Works Washington DC

DC's happiest yarn shop

""Looped Yarn Works" calls itself D.C.'s happiest yarn shop, and I can't argue with that. The shop is like your best friend's living room..."

Looped Yarn Works calls itself D.C.'s happiest yarn shop, and I can't argue with that. The shop is like your best friend's living room (complete with a couch and a fireplace), but the walls are lined with rainbows of yarn. Doesn't that sound nice? It's a warm and welcoming space that has very friendly and bubbly staff.

During non-pandemic times, the shop offers knit and crochet nights, classes, and meetups, and welcomes you to sit and work on your projects whenever the shop is open.

One bonus to shopping here is that you can feel good about your purchase: most (if not all) of the yarns sold are natural, handmade, and come from small businesses, both local and international. The shop also sells little nicknacks (pins, charms, totes) made by local crafters.

The shop is currently open for in-person shopping, but you can also place your order over the phone and do curbside pickup.
