About Us

Yarn has been part of our family's life for as long as I can remember. While other kids were glued to screens or collecting baseball cards, one of us was always the kid with a crochet hook in hand, learning new stitches and making gifts for everyone we knew. There's something deeply satisfying about turning a simple ball of yarn into something useful, beautiful, or both.

Who runs Yarn World?

Yarn World is a small family business, started to be the yarn shop we always wished existed — a place where every skill level feels welcome, quality doesn't mean expensive, and the joy of handmade is celebrated every day. Every order is packed by hand, and every email gets a real response from a real person.

Where is Yarn World located?

We're an online shop, run from our home base in Andover, Minnesota, shipping across the United States — no storefront to visit, just fast, carefully packed orders. Have a question? Reach us anytime through our contact page (or email info@yarnworldhaven.com) — or check the FAQ for quick answers.

What does Yarn World sell?

We carry specialty yarns — including recycled sari silk made by women in fair-trade co-ops — plus crochet and knitting patterns, beginner-friendly kits, tools and notions, and handmade gifts. New makers are our favorite people — if you're not sure where to start, start with the Yarn Journal.

Why "Where creativity connects us all"?

Because it's true. Everyone deserves access to quality yarn and the joy of creating something with their own hands. Every project you make connects you to a worldwide community of makers — and every order supports a small family business with big dreams.

Happy crafting,
The Yarn World family
