About Us
Who we are
We're Vicki and Lewis, based in Lincolnshire. Vicki is an avid knitter, with an ever growing yarn stash, and a genuine belief that making things by hand is good for you. Lewis hasn't learnt to knit (yet!), but is an enthusiast for natural fibres and is keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. The Yarn Nest started with a chat, and quickly turned into something we couldn't stop thinking about, so we decided to make it happen!
Why we're here
We wanted a yarn shop that felt like the kind of place you'd discover by accident... tucked down a side street, staffed by someone who cared, stocking things worth caring about. That shop didn't quite exist online, so we're building it.
What we stock
Natural fibre yarns from a carefully chosen range of brands, budget through to premium, all earning their place. We won't stock anything we wouldn't use or want to wear ourselves, and we'd rather stock fewer things well than everything poorly.
Why Natural Fibres
Natural fibres are wonderful to knit and crochet with. We love the way they feel in your hands, the way they wear over time, and the qualities they bring to finished garments. That's why we only stock natural fibre yarns. It's not a marketing angle, it's simply what we choose to use ourselves, and what we genuinely want to share. Every brand we stock is selected with that in mind.
Our Kits
They aren't quite ready just yet, but our kits will exist because starting out is genuinely confusing. We're busy putting them together, and they will include yarn, patterns and anything else you need to get started!
Say Hello!
We're a small operation and we actually read our emails. If you've got a question about a yarn, need help choosing something, or just want to talk about a project, just let us know. We'd love to hear from you by email, or on our socials!
Vicki & Lewis,
The Yarn Nest
