Seconding the other reviews, I absolutely love this store. There are good yarn shops in Seattle, but the Artful Ewe is absolutely worth the drive and/or ferry trip. My husband and I stopped in after stuffing ourselves at Mike's BBQ right across the street. I was not planning to buy anything, as my yarn stash is *ahem* healthy. But I pretty much had to buy something after seeing the store (a) filled with gorgeously colored and textured yarn, (b) finding out that the owner spun and dyed all of it (!?!) herself, and (c) getting love licks from the darling store Whippet. I came away with 400 yards of a stunning grey/black wool and silk blend. Unlike a lot of the homemade yarns I see at the farmer's markets, this yarn is soft enough to make into something worn by the skin. I would have bought more - her blues are especially vibrant - and I will, as soon as I budget for a few sweater's worth of her yarn! She has every color you could want, in luscious tones, and unusual fibers, like yak. Definitely coming back asap! read more

Amazing hand-dyed yarn, a very cozy feel with a welcoming staff. Their dogs are the sweetest and owners will let you pet them. Spinning wheels are also placed throughout the store with lessons offered. If you are into touring yarn shops in the area make sure to stop here. read more

This place is beautiful and the people are so friendly. I can tell they have a tightknit group! The yarn are artistically placed and with so many different fibers. I am writing a review cause I can't wait to go tomorrow! read more

If I knew how to create using needles I'd always shop here to find the perfect yarn for that perfect gift. This shop is thoughtful and gorgeously rustic, walls and tables overflowing with skeins of different colors and weights of wool, all labled with the harvest location and some Shepards - this is where you go to find "that one yarn from the wool of that guys/gals sheep". There is a slight midieval feel to the interior - a far cry from your local craft store "yarn wall". It's incredible, and the resident well behaved whippets are an added bonus surprise. read more

The Artful Ewe - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Port Gamble, Washington

The sign on her entrance door says "Dogs not allowed. Service dogs are welcome". So we proceeded in, when to our surprise, were her 3 large dogs. One of which immediately charged the door to attack my service dog. She yelled at us that dogs weren't allowed and we said it's a service dog. When then she said "Most owners announce when they are coming in with a service dog". Well, we were astonished by that comment. We have NEVER had to announce this. So to future patrons: BEWARE!! She does NOT have a sign on her door that says she has not 1, not 2 but 3 large dogs on the other side of that door. Extremely unacceptable by a store owner. read more

The lady ("maybe" owner) was very helpful, although she didn't introduce herself, hence the "maybe". I think intros are a thing of the past ? Well, the yarn shop was super cool and most, if not all, were hand dyed by her. I didn't see knitting needles or other tools in the shop and I didn't get to ask either. However, I wish that she had a free pattern with the yarns that I purchased for my young lady . It is on the pricey side, 2 skeins for approximately $65 (rounded up from a few cents short of the price given). I know my daughter will find the perfect pattern for these beautiful skeins. We will be back when we are in Port Gamble. If you love specialty yarn shops, you will love this place . She wound up the 2 skeins when I asked her to , thank you. read more

I am so shocked to see this hasn't been reviewed yet. This is the most lush, gorgeous fiber geek store ever. The owner is so nice, friendly and knowledgeable and clearly passionate about all things fiber. The shop focuses on locally spun and dyed yarn (she does the dyeing herself), fibers for spinning and spinning supplies and weaving supplies. Prices are very reasonable and everything is super high quality. This is probably my favorite yarn store ever. read more

This is more than a fiber shop, it's a treat for the eyes and the soul!!! A veritable feast of colors and yarn and fibers greet you the minute you step inside! The owner is a true artist and a gentle soul as well. Well worth the trip to come explore this wonderful shop in historic Pt. Gamble. read more

My bf and I visited this shop on the recommendation from the local yarn shop in sequim. The two dogs in the shop gave us more attention than the shop keeper did. :p there were a lot of yarn there I wanted to buy, but she completely ignored our presence. After walking around for probably 10-15 min of blindly perusing the selection. We decided to leave because we really had no idea how to purchase anything (the material is loose and needs to be spun) we said good bye with silence for a response. :/ just glad we bought yarn at "the local yarn shop" beforehand. :) read more

I walked into the shop and said hi to the shop keeper. I was ignored. She was talking to someone else at the time, so I looked around. After talking to the other customer (there were only two of us) she went in the back and sat down completely ignoring my presence. There was a lot of fiber in the store and nice yarns, but I decided to shop elsewhere. read more

This store is "yarn heaven" The most beautiful yarns you have ever seen or felt! the owner Heidi, does all of the dyeing herself. heidi is very nice, knowledgeable and very willing to help or advise. the shop also has lots of fibers for spinning too. her quality is the best and prices are very reasonable. Feel free to bring what your working on. Heidi has a corner of her shop devoted to knitting, spinning or chatter. This is especially wonderful in the winter with the wood stove going. when you stop in, be sure to say hello to "grace" she is Heidi's loyal whippet. Some folks just stop by to see grace! This is by far "My favorite Yarn Store!" read more

This place is the real deal! Quality products, unique and artistic store. Owner is very personable, and passionate about her store and products, and it shows! Walking into this cozy environment is like getting one of your Grandmas hugs! And it is a feast for the eyes, so many things to look at, all beautiful. (Balancing various groups of customers can be a complex tango, so if you need something and the proprietress is busy with someone else, excuse yourself into her attention during a quiet moment, and let your needs be known.) read more

This place has a lot of artisan yarn, spun and dyed by the shop. Beautiful colors and soft yarns, worth the extra cost. I made a cowl out of some silk merino yarn and it is now my favorite thing that I've ever knitted. The woman working there was so friendly and I enjoyed talking with her briefly. Will visit again next time I'm in the area! read more

I wandered into this shop looking for someone to help me finish a project that had been hibernating for 15 years. What I found was a community of knowledgeable, supportive fiber artists practicing their craft amid beautifully hand dyed yarns. The shop is is a sensory treat, the people inviting, the textures tantalizing. I have become addicted the The Ewe and so will you! read more

This is my FAVORITE yarn shop ever. Yarns are hand-dyed by the owner, and are all works of art, as is the shop itself. The beauty is inspiring. And the owner, Heidi, is one of the most generous souls to grace the planet. I have watched her give away her own patterns, and needles, and yarn. She is gracious enough to teach anyone who wants to learn, and she does it without charge. This place is well worth the drive/ferry/whatever-it-takes to get there. read more

I walked into this yarn and fiber store and it was as though I stepped into another world! Surrounded by such beauty, color and texture; it made me want to learn how to knit. The owner offered to teach me how - and I took her up on it! She is so generous with her knowledge and talent - and made me feel so welcome! Be sure to stop in; whether you're an accomplished fiber artist or a newbie like me. You are in for a rare treat, I promise! read more

I've been shopping in yarn shops for many years and this shop is my favorite! Heidi, the owner hand dyes the great variety of yarns, fleece, silks and luxury fibers, creating wonderful palettes of color and texture. She freely shares with her customers her vast knowledge of fiber and offers to help her new and returning customers in any way she can. The rich ambiance of the shop makes me want to curl up in the cozy corner and stay to knit for awhile. The shop is truly a gem tucked away in Port Gamble, making the trip worth the drive! read more
