About Us
Skein Shop is a small business with big dreams. We hand pick high-quality items so you can make the most of the time you spend unwinding.
Here's a brief history of who we are and how we got to be here...
Sasha learned to crochet when she was six and knit when she was seven. Thus began a lifelong obsession with the fiber arts. Fast forward several years to college when she met a geeky juggler who just happened to be amazing with computers. David encouraged her to start dyeing her own sock yarn with a focus on man-friendly colors - a blatant bid to get more hand knit socks for himself. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a local hit, and in 2012 Dashing Mouse Designs yarns and patterns were launched.
Along the way, Sasha and David started selling some of Sasha's favorite yarns and knitting needles to complement their own yarns and patterns. Between Sasha's knowledge of the products and David's ability to work computer magic, this aspect of the business grew and evolved until in early 2015 it completely eclipsed the original dyeing and design enterprise.
It was decided that to honor both endeavors, a complete restructuring was in order, the result of which is Skein Shop! Everything we carry is something we'd be thrilled to use ourselves, and we offer friendly, knowledgeable service so you can simply unwind with your favorite craft.
