The Websters Located on the Plaza in downtown Ashland, Oregon, The Websters has been a resource for discerning fiber artists for more than 40 years. Dona was a spinner.

It all began in Ashland, Oregon, in 1978 when Dona Zimmerman started raising sheep and selling the wool produced from her flock of Romney sheep, a breed from the Romney Marshes of England. Soon enough, in 1984, Dona and four friends embarked on a creative, cooperative experiment. Jim, Kris, Lucy, and Molly were weavers. All five shared a passion for natural fibers and were ready to help fuel that passion in others. With no other yarn store for hundreds of miles, The Web*sters was born. Today, soft, squishy, smooth, silky, warm, and cozy textiles fill our shelves. Our yarn inventory reaches up to the high ceilings, and our supplies and patterns keep passionate fiber artists inspired and productive. One-of-a-kind Art to Wear, hats, handbags, and jewelry collections beckon from the picture windows that face the Plaza and the store bustles with the happy sounds of felters, knitters, weavers, crocheters, and spinners learning, laughing, playing, and creating together. Our staff is comprised of knowledgeable, creative, passionate experts who revel in being surrounded by people who love natural fibers as much as they do. Our loyal customers count on their wisdom daily - for troubleshooting a tricky pattern, choosing the perfect yarn for a new project, and teaching new skills - they are the lifeblood of our shop. We’re also grateful for the many visitors who return annually to seek out the latest Art to Wear fashions, replenish their supplies, and keep their creative juices flowing. As Ashland’s only yarn shop and Southern Oregon’s oldest, we’re proud to call ourselves The Web*sters. Next time you’re in Ashland, OR, be sure to stop in and say hello. In the meantime, join our online community by subscribing to our email list. We’d love to keep in touch!

Fall is for cozy knits, squishy wool, yarn shopping, new books (especially knitting related 😉), warm drinks, and making something with your own two hands!

Basically… we’re already ready for sweater weather 🙈🧶
