McKinney Knittery

McKinney Knittery McKinney Knittery is a yarn shop in Historic Downtown McKinney, Texas. We carry mostly natural fibers, many hand-dyed yarns, unique accessories, and fabrics.

All are invited to attend our weekly Knit Togethers. Stop in and stay awhile! I'm a quilter. So, why a yarn shop? Over the years I have considered opening a quilt shop only to come to the conclusion it was the right time but the wrong place, or the wrong time and the right place. And then we moved to McKinney in 2013. I picked up knitting again, a hobby I found myself coming back to more frequentl

y. I became frustrated with the lack of a local yarn shop. Sometimes you really NEED a size 6 16-inch circular needle right away! It wasn't long before I starting thinking about opening a yarn shop. I was very happy to be joining the outstanding team at Doozie's Corner, bringing yarn and knitting supplies to Downtown McKinney. Interestingly, it is my understanding the building which now houses Doozie's Corner used to have a yarn shop upstairs. So I guess I'm just continuing a tradition. McKinney Knittery is now in its fourth location in Historic Downtown McKinney, the beautifully restored 120-year-old Enquirer Building located at 117 W Louisiana Street. We are loving the additional space, classrooms, of course more yarn...and the addition of fabric and sewing supplies in our sister company, Downtown Dry Goods! I invite you to visit McKinney Knittery and Downtown Dry Goods. Bring a project and knit awhile with us. Maybe even be inspired to start a new project. Take a stroll around the Square. I guarantee you will leave with a smile. While you’re downtown, enjoy a meal at some of our award-winning restaurants. Enjoy your day and come back soon!

Sharing Ginger's Newborn Vertebrae she's knitting for her newest granddaughter. This pattern is a shop favorite for sure! Even though it is a fi*****ng weight pattern, Ginger loves the way it knits up in a sport weight (this is a The Plucky Knitter sport weight yarn)!

Join us to learn this super cute mesh bag. Made with a basic worsted weight cotton yarn, these crochet bags take up very little space but then expand to hold groceries, yarn purchases or even your beach essentials! Once you make one, you'll want to have a spare in each car or purse! Please note this is a two session class. In session one, we will construct the bag bottom and sides. Session two will involve designing and completing the handles.

Two session class: July 9 and 16, from 5:30-7:30pm each session! Sign up online, or call us at the shop! 469-714-4002

Meet Pippi Lace from — the newest addition to our shelves and a yarn that feels like a cloud in your hands!

Crafted from 95% Superwash Extra Fine Brushed Merino and 5% Nylon, Pippi Lace brings you the same super-soft brushed merino you've already fallen in love with in Pippi Fi*****ng, now spun into an elegant lace weight. Light as air, wonderfully ethereal -- it has the most delicate halo.

And the marling possibilities? Absolutely irresistible. Hold Pippi Lace alongside your favorite yarns to create beautiful depth, dimension, and that signature glowing halo that transforms a project into something truly special.

What makes Pippi Lace even more exciting is what's not in it. No mohair. No alpaca. Just beautifully brushed merino. If you've been waiting for a soft, fluffy lace-weight yarn without mohair or alpaca, your wait is over.

Pippi Lace

95% Superwash Extra Fine Brushed Merino, 5% Nylon
Lace Weight
345 yards / 50g skein (approx.)

Soft. Airy. Dreamy. Entirely its own. We can't wait to see what you'll create with it.
