Circles, A Knitting Salon

Circles is your local yarn store and fiber arts community center. We host 4 free Social Circles each week, feature yarns from farms and yarn artisans, have an extensive curriculum of classes and workshops, and sponsor Travel Circles where you can learn more about the yarn industry and gain cultural experiences which allow you connect to others through knitting. All of these activities are designed to build a community where we connect to each other, inspire one another and evoke the creative potential in our fiber arts and our lives. If you're interested in learning more about the experiences at Circles please stop by the shop or join our online Forum at http://www.circles-salon.com/forum.

I first came to Circles when I was in a "bind". I needed help with a knitting disaster. The patience and companionship in the knitting circle was just what I needed.

I echo what others have said. You will find yarns here that you don't see at any other yarn shop. The staff and "regulars" are always friendly and welcoming to newcomers. Plus the shop offers great field trips. And, there is always free parking. You can stay for hours!

They are the best because there is a feeling of community, sell great yarns that are good for the environment, or help sustainable communities or are high art. Circles rocks.

The staff is super-nice and friendly. The selection is really good, leaning toward smaller companies and eco-friendly lines along with many recognizable brands. Plus, the space & community are truly wonderful.
