A Yarn Story occupies a narrow Georgian storefront with a vibrant, hand-painted sign hanging above the entrance. This shop specializes in high-end, hand-dyed yarns sourced from independent producers across the United Kingdom. Carmen Schmidt opened the doors in twenty-fourteen, transforming the space into a workspace for the local knitting community. Rows of saturated skeins fill the shelves from floor to ceiling, and the scent of raw wool lingers near the counter. Schmidt teaches workshops here on techniques like Fair Isle knitting.
