Founded in January, 2010, Yarns To Dye For is a specialty yarn shop located at 19 Ash Street in historic downtown Frankfort, IL across from the Old Plank Trail & Breidert Green. We stock yarn from around the world and our expert staff of knitting & crochet instructors take part in all vendor meetings to ensure that we will always carry some of the best yarns you will find in Chicago's South & Sou
thwest Suburbs. We are proud to feature the dynamic duo of Amy and Pat, our fabulous knitting & crocheting instructors. They lead several class series here at the shop teaching everything from the basics of knitting & crochet up through intermediate and advanced patterns as well as knitting & crocheting techniques. When not teaching, Amy & Pat are on hand to help you choose your next project and to answer any knitting & crochet related questions. We carry a wide variety of notions to help you with your projects. We have a full range of knitting needles, crochet hooks, stitch counters, hand-made project bags and much, much more. If you don't see it, please don't hesitate to ask us. Chances are that Jean, the shop proprietor, can order what you need. We also carry prints by Rosalind Lyons, a local artist with some of the most excellent drawings of Chicagoland landmarks you've ever seen and Yarns To Dye For is proud to be the only place where you can purchase Rosalind's prints. If you don't see a landmark you're looking for, let us know. Rosalind is known to take commissions. Every Thursday night, you are invited to join the crew from Knot Just Knitting as they invade the shop for one of two weekly meetings. The KJK crew is a very diverse group of ladies (and sometimes gentlemen & on rare occasions, a Klingon Knitter). Bring your project & dive on in for an enjoyable evening of stitching & conversation. We hope you stop in soon and let us assist you with your knitting & crocheting needs!
