Nestled 
in the heart of old town Anacortes, Fidalgo Artisan Yarn & Clothing is home to luxury hand-dyed yarns: from lace to worsted weights. We often joke about an overabundance of beauty; our shop is filled with thousands of skeins and colors in over 20 blends. Our guests sometimes gasp as they walk through the door. When they can’t decide or seem a little overwhelmed, our advice is to choose that first skein – the one that immediately caught their eye and beckoned their fingers.
In addition to the ever changing kaleidoscope of freshly-dyed yarns, we also offer a carefully selected group of commercial yarns, among them Malabrigo, Berroco, Juniper Moon Farms and others. We have a selection of coned yarns for weaving (and also great for knitting and crocheting!) including the full color offering of Harrisville Shetland.
