The Service was very good, helpful staff, put together a project for me, and there is a lovely display of yarns

Great selection of yarn. La Bien Aimee is exquisite. Also a good selection of Fonty yarn. The young woman that helped me was so patient and kind. Thank you very much. I am now able to take home 'French' yarn read more

Excellent selection of yarns and needles in a beautiful shopping area. There are 3 Lil Weasel shops, each carries something different for what you might need for sewing, knitting and needlework. read more

Hidden in one of Paris' original passages this quaint little shop is chock full with quality yarns, hooks, needles and other notions. It was quite far from my hotel but I researched it and had to visit it. It did not disappoint. The lady there was helpful and friendly. It was my first time there but not my last. I ended up getting some beautiful 100% wool, and some super soft 100% cashmere. It's a very unique boutique yarn shop. As a flight attendant who knits I visit yarn shops all over the world and this one is on top of my list now. If you're into knitting you must visit this store someday. You'll also enjoy the neighborhood full cafes, bistros and shops that scream authentic Paris without the touristy traps read more

Lil Weasel - Yarn from Lil' Weasel - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Paris, 75

What an amazing shop. I was able to find the shop very easily. All three of the ladies working in the shop were wonderful to a nervous American. They spoke English which helped me be less nervous. I was able to purchase Eiffel Tower stitch makers and some yarn. read more

This place is a hidden gem. There are two sides to the store, so don't look at the one side and ignore the other. There are two local brands; one a house brand and one dyed in Paris that they distribute. We were lucky to get out of there at 230 Euro. read more

A delightful independent French yarn store with a great selection of local/regional yarns (near the front cash - just ask to get them pointed out and make it easy if you're a yarn tourist like me!) as well as your standard European yarns from Italy etc. Everything is organised very nicely and appealingly in efficient cubbies. There may only be one skein of any given colour on display so staff asked me if I wanted more than one of the items I picked out, as they'd just get them from a storage bin. The shop is located down an adorable covered shopping alley with lots of natural light and other lovely gift-y type shops. Across the alley is another Lil Weasel space dedicated to fabric and sewing. I noticed some yarn there as well but I suspect it was more of the commercial type and less hand-dyed or unique. The prices are what you'd expect for hand dyed interesting yarns, but not exorbitant. read more

See all

Hands down the best knitting supplies shop in Paris. Their wall of color is heaven on earth. The hues are just gorgeous and everything is so damn buttery and soft, you just want to snuggle into one of those cubby holes and call it a day. I have only been knitting for a year so I know like 1% about the craft but when I go here I don't feel like a total idiot. The saleswomen do a good job helping people from all levels, and explain things so that you actually understand, not throwing out a bunch of terms that go right over your head. Right now I'm totally obsessed with the Malabriogo Peruvian small batch hand-dyed yarn that they carry here. I already made myself a scarf with it (first scarf ever, woopwoop) and quickly went back to pick up some more the day after I completed it. When I told the woman that I had completed my first wearable project, she was genuinely proud of me. I love that. read more

Lil Weasel - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Paris, 75

The cutest little knitting supply store - where you go in for one thing - but end up getting some extra yarn, just because it is so soft and cuddly and... Well, you get the picture. The staff was superfriendly and spoke excellent English. read more

Lil Weasel - The sign - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Paris, 75

What an adorable haberdashery! The selection of Liberty fabrics was astounding--I just gazed at how gorgeous they all were. Their selection of apparel and knits was on trend for what seems to be popular currently in the indie sewer's world. They have a nice selection of patterns including Deer and Doe, Colette, Tilly and the Buttons, and many other French designers. I can't comment on price as I'm not sure of the going rate for designer fabrics in France, but I can say that I got 2 meters of Liberty bias tape for 3,5€--which seemed like a great price to this American where Liberty is few and far between. The shop girl was adorable and passionate and friendly. She spoke superb English and definitely went out of her way to be helpful. Note--this review is of the Lil Weasel fabric shop across the way from the knitting shop! Happy sewing!!! read more

Lil Weasel is located in the charming Passage du Grand Cerf, one of Paris' many covered passages. This lovely store carries a wide variety of yarn, books, fabrics, ribbon, buttons and knitting/crochet notions. They carry Anny Blatt, Cascade, Katia, Buton D'or, Malabrigo, and Debbie Bliss, to name a few. I love how the store organizes their yarn by colorway instead of by brand. If they don't have exactly what you want in stock, the ladies who work there are super nice and will place an order for you. From 10:30AM until 7PM, Tuesday through Saturday, the shop welcomes people to come knit, read, crochet, or just chat on their comfy chairs and sofa. The little shop also has a "carte de fidélité" or loyalty card: After making 10 purchases in the store, you'll receive a voucher for 10% of the amount you've spent in the store! For beginners and even the advanced, the store provides workshops and classes for couture, knitting, and finishing, as well as knitting classes for children. For those who aren't sure what to make, the store also offers prepackaged kits with yarn and pattern. This little store is a refreshing change from lining up with the masses at La Droguerie, plus I can definitely find what I'm looking for (if not more). read more

I love L'il Weasel. Found it on my last trip to Paris. This is not WEBS, and they don't have everything. But they do have a very well curated selection, very fairly prices, and from many places. I love that they organize the yarns by color rather than by weight or label! In addition to yarns and knitting/crochet tools, they have a superb selection of oilcloth (in French, " wax "). Not your granny's tiny florals - but bold designs you'll be proud to leave on your table as part of your decor. At least, I am! Highly recommend this shop. And yes, it's a bit hard to find. Persevere! read more

Super cute little yarn shop in a lovely covered way shopping street. The owner was friendly and helpful. The selection of yarn is mostly solid colors, some hand-paints. I didn't really see anything that I desired strongly. I went in hoping for interesting European yarns, but everything I saw was available (and cheaper) at my own LYS back in America. They have ribbons and patterns, too. read more

Oh my word!! So much happiness in this store!! We happened across it by accident (it was on my list all the same) and I was thrilled with what I found! Indie dyed yarn in STUNNING colours and a shop keeper who was both kind and helpful. I highly recommend this little shop for your yarn needs. read more

Lil Weasel - Indie dyed sock yarn. - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Paris, 75

This is a cute store that I discovered by accident while wandering around the neighborhood. It is mostly a knitting store and I am a sewer, so I can't comment on the prices of the yarn. However, what they had was quite lovely. They carry a small but good selection of boutique sewing patterns such as Colette, Oliver and S., and Amy Butler. They also carry a small selection of fabric, and a large number of prefab kits which contain everything that you need to complete a specific project. The owner is very friendly and helpful and it has a nice ambiance. read more

I love this shop for one reason: It carries lots of beautiful and luxurious yarn which are hard to get in Europe, like Malabrigo or Blue Sky Alpacas, etc. Although it's a bit more expensive than ordering from an US or UK online shop, it's still reasonable. The big fat downside: The saleswoman is not a business woman at all. I bought a big basket full of yarn and in the end she added yarn I never bought. She really tried to rip me off in a very nasty way. Not only did she add a few Eurocents on each yarn, she also counted the most expensive one (19.90€) twice!!! After telling her that there was something wrong with the bill, she wasn't surprised at all and one can really tell if an honest mistake was made. But her.... Nope! Anyways, I got my money back... Isn't that rude? I bought tons of yarn and instead of being nice and friendly - with the option and outcome of me coming back for more - she ripped a good customer off. I'll never go back and I'd pay more somewhere else for a good and honest service!! read more

A bit expensive, but well worth it! the most adorable little shop with many high quality yarns. impressive range and very nice staff. a must visit for knitters in paris! read more
