McKinney Knittery

McKinney Knittery McKinney Knittery is a yarn shop in Historic Downtown McKinney, Texas. We carry mostly natural fibers, many hand-dyed yarns, unique accessories, and fabrics.

All are invited to attend our weekly Knit Togethers. Stop in and stay awhile! I'm a quilter. So, why a yarn shop? Over the years I have considered opening a quilt shop only to come to the conclusion it was the right time but the wrong place, or the wrong time and the right place. And then we moved to McKinney in 2013. I picked up knitting again, a hobby I found myself coming back to more frequently. I became frustrated with the lack of a local yarn shop. Sometimes you really NEED a size 6 16-inch circular needle right away! It wasn't long before I starting thinking about opening a yarn shop. I was very happy to be joining the outstanding team at Doozie's Corner, bringing yarn and knitting supplies to Downtown McKinney. Interestingly, it is my understanding the building which now houses Doozie's Corner used to have a yarn shop upstairs. So I guess I'm just continuing a tradition. McKinney Knittery is now in its fourth location in Historic Downtown McKinney, the beautifully restored 120-year-old Enquirer Building located at 117 W Louisiana Street. We are loving the additional space, classrooms, of course more yarn...and the addition of fabric and sewing supplies in our sister company, Downtown Dry Goods! I invite you to visit McKinney Knittery and Downtown Dry Goods. Bring a project and knit awhile with us. Maybe even be inspired to start a new project. Take a stroll around the Square. I guarantee you will leave with a smile. While you’re downtown, enjoy a meal at some of our award-winning restaurants. Enjoy your day and come back soon!

Welcome to post No. 4 of : 🐸 FROG IT OR FINISH IT 🧶....our yarny version of the chopping block! Betsy just can't get back into this one... so many other things on her list right now!

We’re pulling out abandoned projects and putting them up for review.

Should we FROG IT 🐸 and reclaim that precious yarn?
Or FINISH IT ✨ and see this thing through to the end?

And here’s where YOU come in! We want your two cents. We’ll show you the project, tell you the backstory, and let you comment with your thoughts and ideas.
Because sometimes a project just needs a little encouragement… and sometimes it needs to be set free. 😂

Zig and Zag your way to a new hat!!

A Hat That’s Really a Gauge Swatch? Yes, Please! Aimee Sher released the Zig Zag Along Hat and its matching Zig Zag Along Pullover just in time for Rhinebeck, and the hat is doing double duty as the perfect gauge swatch for your sweater. Knit the hat, check your gauge, and then you’re ready to zig zag your way into the pullover!

Even better, Aimee is using De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, one of our favorites, for the design. Kristen has already cast on the hat, and it’s pictured here with a possible pom-pom addition. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but she’s not quite finished… the pom-pom is strategically covering up the fact that the crown is still missing! 😂

One of your favorite Baby Suri Alpaca blends has been restocked!! Aren't the colors gorgeous!!

Fyberspates Cumulus
Lace Weight
74% Baby Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk
164 yards - 25 grams

This yarn is a heavy lace/3-ply weight with a luxurious feel. Its silk core shines subtly through a soft alpaca halo, reminiscent of fluffy clouds—hence the name Cumulus.

A joy to knit with, Cumulus offers an alternative to mohair. The delicate alpaca halo and smooth silk core blend seamlessly to create incredibly soft knits with a beautiful drape and delicate haze, ensuring comfort without any itchiness.
