Jorstad Creek Yarn

History

The inspiration for the Jorstad Creek Studio came from many trips to Hood Canal on highway 101 where you will find a charming little community overlooking the water. This is the community of Jorstad (or Jorsted!) Creek, a place that inspired the dream of creating and sharing beautiful hand dyed yarn and fiber. Five years later and many skeins dyed, the Studio moved into our little warehouse behind a local pub in downtown Olympia to have a public space for the dye process. We opened to the public in July of 2015. The Studio now offers a full range of yarn weights and ideas for projects. We also offer a variety of skill-building classes including summer dye classes for the curious.

Specialties

Our working studio turns out beautiful hand dyed yarn and spinning fiber. We are more than a yarn shop - you can view us at work dyeing our products live and in-person! We stock our yarns in various weights and luxury fibers. We also feature knitting patterns from the BK Collective as well as unique and locally crafted items like drop spindles. Also featured are Chiagoo and Brittany needles and crochet hooks and a variety of notions and tools for knitting, crochet, and needle felting. Come visit our Studio!
