Welcome to The Nifty Knitter, where creativity and community come together in a cozy haven for fiber enthusiasts! Nestled in the heart of Gilman Village in Issaquah, Washington, our shop has been delighting crafters of all kinds since 2016. What started as a dream to create an inclusive, welcoming space for knitters, crocheters, and fiber artists has blossomed into a beloved destination for the crafting community. Our founder—a professional musician, theater artist, and avid knitter—wanted a place where everyone, regardless of experience or identity, could feel at home. From the humblest beginnings in a small storefront, The Nifty Knitter quickly outgrew its space and moved into its current charming location, filled with light, laughter, and a dazzling array of yarn.

At The Nifty Knitter, you’ll find carefully curated yarns from around the world, each chosen for its quality, color, and charm. Whether you’re on the hunt for luxurious hand-dyed wool, versatile blends, or those hard-to-find sparkly skeins, we’ve got something to inspire every maker’s imagination. Beyond yarn, our shop offers needles, notions, and unique project kits to fuel your creativity. Our knowledgeable and friendly team is always on hand to help you select the perfect materials, troubleshoot your projects, or share a laugh over the latest crafting memes.

But we’re more than just a yarn store. The Nifty Knitter is a vibrant community hub, hosting classes, workshops, and events designed to bring people together. From beginner knitting nights to advanced techniques, we aim to spark joy and connection through shared learning. And don’t miss our special events, like trunk shows and book signings, which showcase the incredible talent within the fiber arts world.

Whether you’re just picking up needles for the first time or you’re a seasoned stitcher, The Nifty Knitter is your happy place to learn, shop, and connect. Stop by and discover why our little corner of Issaquah feels like home.
