The Knitting Nest

Yarn never had it so hip. When the Knitting Nest set up shop in South Austin, its bright, colorful new digs were welcomed by local crafters and newbies alike. It offers classes and personal instruction, a knitting lounge, and a friendly, personable staff. Carrying the largest supply of Cascade Yarns in the Southwest United States, employing world-class knitters, and sporting – let's face it – one of the cutest Westies in all of Austin as its mascot, this place has set itself up to be one of our faves for years to come.
