Specialties
Fuzzy Goat is a yarn shop in Historic Downtown Thomasville, Georgia, 30 minutes from Tallahassee, built around a colorful lodge where anyone with a project can settle in and strangers end up friends. More than 90% of what we carry comes from independent, women-owned, and Southern makers: hand-dyed yarn, needles, notions, project kits, bags, and gifts. Curated Boxes ship nationwide, and classes run year-round. We host maker retreats, and Jane + Hank's, our restored home a short walk from the shop, sleeps four. Shop in person Tuesday through Saturday, 11 to 5, or online anytime. All makers welcome.
History
Established in 2014.
Fuzzy Goat opened in August 2014 in Historic Downtown Thomasville, GA. Cadence Kidwell left a career in academia (she holds a Ph.D. in Creative Writing from FSU) to open the kind of yarn shop she always wanted to find: colorful, welcoming, and full of indie makers whose stories are worth telling. From the start, over 90% of what we carry has come from independent, women-owned, and Southern makers. We started with a physical shop and grew into Curated Boxes, online sales, classes, retreats, and a nationwide following of makers who found us and stayed. We're part of the Downtown Thomasville Creative District, and the walls are still collecting new stories.
Meet the Business Owner: Cadence K.
Fuzzy Goat is the kind of yarn shop I always wanted to find: colorful, welcoming, values-driven, and yes, with great music. Before I opened in 2014, I was at FSU finishing a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. I went back to school when my three kids were little, and somewhere in that chaos I learned what creativity actually does for people. It steadies you, surprises you, and connects you to others in ways you didn't expect. I get to be part of a chain that runs from the indie dyer who pours herself into a colorway, to the person who walks in not sure they're a maker yet, to the friend they bring back next time. Watching that happen is why I'm here. Our battered SERVICE sign hangs over the counter because that's the point. We're here to help you find something that makes you want to make something. Downtown Thomasville is the kind of place where you slow down, wander, and find things you didn't know you were looking for. That's the same thing we try to be.
