What we’re about
Welcome to The Common Thread: St. Pete’s Yarn Shop & Café! 🧶☕
We’re a brand-new local fiber-arts hub bringing together knitters, crocheters, weavers, embroiderers, rug-tufters, and makers of every kind. Our shop features a curated selection of high-quality yarns and tools, plus a full-service espresso bar to keep your creativity flowing.
Through this Meetup group you’ll find both free socials and ticketed workshops: from casual knit-nights and crochet circles to hands-on classes in embroidery, weaving, rug tufting, and more. Whether you’re a total beginner or a lifelong maker, you’ll find inspiration, guidance, and a warm community of fellow fiber lovers.
Bring your projects, share your skills, or simply sip a latte and soak up the good fibes. ✨
We can’t wait to stitch, sip, and create with you!
