Now open in Newark, DE! The Ministry of Yarn — Yarn and Tools for Knit and Crochet
announcement!
The Ministry of Yarn is taking a Winter Break!
We are open as usual the week of January 6-10, but then we will be closed the following week, January 13-17. We'll re-open on January 20th and resume normal hours.
After the roller coaster of construction and fit-out, followed by the intense push to open the doors and find our footing with daily operations, capped off by the holiday rush, we need a minute! We're taking this downtime to catch our breath, reflect on everything that got us to where we are now, then plan and prepare for what we will bring to you next.
The best part is...after Winter Break will come Winter SALE!
the gift that always fits
Need a quick and easy gift for the yarn lover in your life?
The Ministry of Yarn has gift cards! They're perfect for when you want to support your person's hobby, but it's better for everyone if they get to choose their own materials.
Cards can be set up for any denomination from $10 to $500, and they never expire. Stop by the shop or call 302-294-6078 during business hours, and we'll hook you up! If you purchase by phone, we are happy to mail the gift card to you or directly to your recipient.
Thank you for making our first four months a success!
The shop's first day in business was Saturday, August 30. Since then, we've been in a soft opening phase while we're building up our inventory, preparing to offer classes and events, and otherwise getting our sheep in a row. A grand opening celebration is in the works, but you don't need to wait until then to visit!

Social Stitchin' (a.k.a. open stitching times)
We invite you to bring your yarn craft project (knitting, crochet, anything fiber-y and portable) and come hang out in the shop with us! We have a comfy living room space where you can meet other makers, share what you're working on, get inspiration or advice or sympathy, and make new friends who get your love of yarn.
