News

• Our New York store has a new location and a new look
Our new location is on the corner of Broadway and John St., right next to the Hallmark Card store:

• Portland, ME and Web Store
We have a new section of our store and website that will be devoted to yarns from Maine. We have sourced some beautiful hand dyes from Done Roving Farm, Pine Woods Yarns and Eastport Yarn that we think offer something different as far as colors and fibers and also showcase what can be done locally by talented fiber makers.

Plymouth Yarn Books,
Socks, Wraps, Hats and Accessories,
Crochet Books and
Seaport's Favorites
