I walked to The Knitting Tree from LAX when I had a long layover. Walked. From LAX. Yes. (Sometimes a woman just needs a little more fiber in her life...and I didn't relish sitting for hours in an airport.) Perhaps it was the 3 miles through warehouse complexes, maybe it was the persistent grey skies or the light smell of charred city still lingering from the LA fires, but it felt like a burst of fuzzy sunshine when I opened the front door and stepped in. Two big wood tables full of happy knitters! Women everywhere, in every color of the human rainbow, many with a needle of some kind and a trailing tail of some gorgeous fiber they were working their magic on. The walls are filled with balls of yarn and art. And the chickens!! There are knitted comfort chickens everywhere! This is an oasis. If I lived in LA, I'd haunt the place, just set up a little cot for myself in a corner and take up residence with all the chickens and spend the rest of my time with the lovely people who own, run, and frequent the shop. It's just that lovely:) Btw, thanks for the ride back to the airport;) read more

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! This place is THE BEST! RUN, DON'T WALK to get all your knitting, crocheting, and weaving needs.

I wanted to learn to read a pattern so I dropped in to the Knitting Tree LA. That was nearly four years ago and there is not a week goes by when I don't find myself dropping in for a class, some supplies, or enjoying social knitting. I learned to read my pattern, but I have gotten SO much more from this shop. The community vibe here is friendly, welcoming, supportive, kind, accepting, and funny. When I am out of town I miss it a lot. read more

So I finished my daughter's baby blanket and boy! Was I disappointed. I spent many hours and the last of the blanket the yarn colors were totally off (see picture). It's The Knotting Trees fault that's why I kept the five stars. We all looked at the lot numbers and everything matched. So I don't know what happened. Unfortunately I can't give this blanket to my daughter so it'll go in the trash since second hand shops don't even take blankets anymore. read more

The Knitting Tree - See the bottom? I don't know what happened since the lot numbers all matched. - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Inglewood, California

Well Yarn it! I wish I was into this. Such an amazing community in this nice shop. I brought a friend whom says: "prices are great and what a selection". For me it was the wonderful way the owner and employee interacted with all the people there for the Sunday yarn gathering. So if this is your thing or you have interest this place seems like a wonderful place to visit. Just off the 405 freeway. read more

I'm so glad I made a special stop to go to this yarn store. The owner is friendly as well as her regulars. They have instructors with their own group that meets at the store.

Is store is definitely a good place to checkout if you find yourself down at Inglewood! read more

The yarn therapy chickens are amazing! Came here for yarn crawl 2024 and was amazed by how many types of yarn they have! I know that in the past, they used to teach machine knitting classes, and I would love to take them if they ever restart them again. Super friendly staff at yarn crawl, a very large store with a lot of selection. I bought two projects worth of yarn from their trunk show. read more

This is a store I can come in just to sit and crochet, there was lessons going on at the back table and the owner was so sweet and patient with everyone. It reminded me of my first time learning to crochet or knit. The selection of yarn is wonderful and I just walked around, touching and explore all the walls of color, different fabric and samples to see how the patterns are. I highly recommend coming to this store for an experience. And sign up for mail list. read more

The Knitting Tree - Yarn Haul - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Inglewood, California

Wonderful selection of yarns and an even more wonderful community! I've taken the emotional support chicken class and attended the Sunday sweater support group and both were taught by kind and knowledgeable instructors. Even the times I've just stopped by to pick up yarn or notions, everyone in the store (staff and patrons alike!) have been so friendly and warm. It's a rare treat to find such a welcoming community of people in LA, I highly recommend stopping in if you have an interest in any sort of fiber arts! read more

so warm and welcoming and they answered all my questions since im not a very seasoned crocheter!!! such sweet ladies

I stopped in on a Sunday seeking help with a project I hadn't worked on for years. They were having their pot luck gathering and there were lots of people and I knew it might be a long shot to get help. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

We walked in at the stroke of 11am and after browsing this colorful store with the aid of the young lady there, I found myself a beautiful fiber and a pattern as well. read more

Dropped in today, looking for a wider selection of yarn for crafting projects. The Knitting Tree did not disappoint! Daughter is a proficient crocheter and beginning knitter. The owner welcomed us heartily, invited her for potluck crafting parties, and piqued daughter's creativity! Highly recommend! read more

What a magical place! The vibes are excellent. I like that there is a wide range of yarns, in terms of quality and price. They stock the best selection of Cascade yarn that I've yet found! It's also really nice that they show what they stock online, so that you can plan your trip accordingly. This is possibly the best yarn shop in SoCal! read more

Incredible selection of knitting tools and yarn, books, magazines, patterns...you name it they have it. I also really appreciate that they spin your skeins for you into yarn balls as I would have had no idea how to do it myself as well as they do! Will definitely be back for weaving lessons read more

This place is one of the best yarn stores I have been to. They have a great variety of yarn and different supplies that when you arrive to purchase supplies for your next project, it is guaranteed you'll leave with everything you need and then some. The customer service is amazing and even when it's extremely busy (during the yarn crawl) the owner will make time for you and she is the nicest person ever. She will make sure you have what you need and will make sure you are satisfied before helping someone else. This is the home of the emotional support chicken and I'm all for it. I purchased the Chickolas Cage and I am almost done with it. There were times where it was a bit challenging and the owner has a tutorial video on YouTube to help you complete it. This is amazing! They also have events that I wish I was able to attend but cannot due to distance but if they were closer I'd be there everyday! Come grab your supplies here at The Knitting Tree and enjoy a welcoming community and a great atmosphere. read more

We were visiting on business and snuck in a quick trip to the store. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! Great selection of locally dyed yarns and the chickens are adorable! If you enjoy good company and fiber arts, this is a great place to visit! read more

So I have been knitting for 15 years now and have the opportunity to travel the world with work. I have been to some of the most well known knitting stores around the world and this places was just great!!!! Super friendly and welcoming staff, a small-medium but well stocked selection of yarns, Ample space to work on projects and get/give help to others. Most impressive though was the community they have established with their knitting groups and potluck get together each week. I am now based in LA and am so happy there is a place like this nearby! read more

I had tried learning to knit from YouTube videos and found it too difficult. The teachers at this cozy little store are making it comfortable and welcoming! Freddie, in particular, deserves high marks for his patience with total beginners like me. Add to all this a store with other yarn-based hobbies (crochet, weaving, etc), and an always-cozy table of people practicing crafts, and the store becomes a little peaceful slice of heaven. read more

The Knitting Tree - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Inglewood, California

This is one of the best knitting stores in the area. Unfortunately small businesses like this are closing down. The owners and employees are extremely nice. They offer a variety of classes, yarns, and notions. They also have crochet and weaving classes. If you live anywhere on the west side I highly recommend you stopping in here. They are in a small strip mall area, they have several dedicated parking spots and there is metered parking on the street. They are probably a little less than 1 mile west of the 405 freeway. read more

I absolutely love this place! I took a knitting class here about 2 years ago and I went in today to grab a couple of items and it had such a warm buzz of people knitting, looming and crocheting. The Knitting Tree does a nice job of attracting and inviting people of all ages. They have great workshops and a beautiful inventory of yarns and accessories. I went in for a skein of yarn and came out with more than I expected because I couldn't help myself. I love this place so much. Support your local small businesses! read more

The Knitting Tree - Skull scissors and Merino blend Cascade Yarn - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Inglewood, California

I haven't had a Local Yarn Store in years and The Knitting Tree is going to fill the void! They have a decent selection of yarn at various price points. Lots of room to sit and knit and plenty of foot traffic and most importantly a diverse and excepting customer base! The other plus is it's less than 2 miles from my job and on my way home! Win-win, happy dance!!! read more

I've been going here off and on for 10 years and it always feels like coming home. Annette and the team are always a delight to work with and the store's selection is awesome. Be prepared for inspiration (and some hefty enabling from other customers) to strike. read more

This is more than just a yarn shop, it is a vibrant community. Such an incredible vibe here! So welcoming to people of color, which is especially important to me being a newer knitter. I drive from Pasadena to this shop! I love Annette (owner) and Alicia (senior instructor)! They have been so welcoming, are very knowledgeable, and very patient instructors. This shop has a great yarn selection too. If I lived closer, I would be at the shop several times a week just to hang out with them. When you get a chance, definitely check out their website and Instagram. read more

Worst customer service I've ever encountered. Overpriced, clueless sales help, and a contentious, nasty owner.

Extremely small. I will say the store looked nice. Probably is a good place to take a class. Does not have the inventory if you are making more than a personal item. read more

Such a great shop! Beautiful yarns -- you can't help but feel a boost of creativity when you walk in the door. Annette is a good teacher, and crochet class has been such a fun summer activity for my daughter and me. We're learning quickly, and it's fun to go spend a couple of hours a week with all the interesting people who take lessons at the Knitting Tree. It's a really nice group of people from all sorts of backgrounds who come together to share something we all have in common. Highly recommend! read more

Had some time to kill on a layover and didn't bring yarn (don't have any idea what I was thinking) looked around and found this shop. What a score! Great choice in yarn and a wonderful house dyed yarn that had to come on my adventures with me. Everyone there was Very nice. Had a great time. So if you need some yarn definitely stop in. They will take good care of you. read more

Okay. So, if I could choose a business to live in, it would be this place. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, and what's better than seeing people gathered together talking and knitting/crocheting? Exactly. The location is not in the busy congested part of LA, which is pretty nice. The customer service I received was AWESOME. I got really great advice and ideas, and they wind your yarn for you!! The yarn is pricy but you get what you pay for. It's a specialty yarn store, not ya average Joann's or Michael's. Best yarn store I've gone to in LA. read more

There was a lovely crowd here on Sunday afternoon. Lots of ladies (and two gents) twerking those needles with a quickness. They have a gorgeous selection. All different colors an textures. I went in with my sister as she's an aficionado of all things knit and crochet. If you need a gift for the yarn lady in your life - this should be your first stop! :) Shout out to the friendly patron in a Kermit the frog shirt who showed us around. Your excitement for the craft and for this establishment is catching! Note: They're kinda hidden in the back of the strip mall. read more
