McKinney Knittery

I'm a quilter. So, why a yarn shop? Over the years I have considered opening a quilt shop only to come to the conclusion it was the right time but the wrong place, or the wrong time and the right place. And then we moved to McKinney in 2013. I picked up knitting again, a hobby I found myself coming back to more frequently. I became frustrated with the lack of a local yarn shop. Sometimes you really NEED a size 6 16-inch circular needle right away! It wasn't long before I starting thinking about opening a yarn shop. I was very happy to be joining the outstanding team at Doozie's Corner, bringing yarn and knitting supplies to Downtown McKinney. Interestingly, it is my understanding the building which now houses Doozie's Corner used to have a yarn shop upstairs. So I guess I'm just continuing a tradition.

As of March 1, 2017, McKinney Knittery has moved to its own space at 106-1/2 S Church Street. We are excited about the additional space, and the opportunity to host drop-ins and classes.

My husband and I live in McKinney's historic district. We thoroughly enjoy the proximity of the downtown, the great restaurants, and quality shopping. It is my hope that McKinney Knittery will be a good addition to the area, and a convenient resource for local knitters.

I invite you to visit McKinney Knittery. Bring a project and knit awhile with us. Maybe even buy a skein of yarn. Take a stroll around the Square. I guarantee you will leave with a smile. While you’re downtown, enjoy a meal at some of our award-winning restaurants. Enjoy your day and come back soon!
