This place is adorable. We got parking right out front. My daughter was shopping for some unique yarns for her art projects. I loved the silk and linen yarns they offer. The staff was helpful and attentive. Very inspiring place. You could probably go upstairs and work on a project if you needed some quiet time. read more

This is a small jewel box of a shop with beautiful high quality yarns, some locally made. Staff were very friendly and helpful. This shop is the kind that gives you renewed faith in humanity. read more

Took a couple tutoring sessions and group session. Great instruction. Loved all the special yarns. I highly recommend stopping in.

Such a warm inviting space. Beautiful selection of natural fiber yarn, lovely employees and lovely customers!

The proprietor was friendly and helpful. The shop has a lot of variety of yarn colors and styles and it's clear they have been working at this for a while and knows the community. There is a winding service, which is lovely, even though I have a winder. Totally worth coming here instead of the big box places that are left. read more

Adorable 2 story little shop. If you're a fan of muted, earthy tones, this is the place for you!

One of my absolute favorite yarn stores. I stop by whenever I'm in the area. The owner knows a lot about yarn and she's very helpful and welcoming. So glad Pasadena has this little gem. read more

I was in the neighborhood, so I wanted to stop in and check out the local yarn store. I have a few projects in mind that could use some interesting yarn. However, after 15 minutes of being completely ignored, I walked out empty handed. Terrible experience. read more

Really cute yarn shop. I popped in on a Saturday morning for some Brooklyn Tweed. I found parking easily on a side street and they wound my yarn. read more

Wollhaus Artisan Yarn & Tools - They'll spool your yarn too!! - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Pasadena, California

My absolute favorite yarn store. They have an amazing selection with great quality yarn and the customer service is fantastic. The owner is the sweetest and I would gladly drive an hour just to support her wonderful shop. Since this was the first LYS I ever visited, it's been the standard. Unfortunately, not many places reach the same expectations. I've visited many other yarn stores and this one is by far the most organized and clean. They don't increase the prices of the yarn and if they do it's like 25 cents at the most; they are actually sometimes cheaper than online stores. Lastly, I never felt unwelcome for not being the stereotypical knitter, which has happened to me in other LYS. Please support this shop so it never goes away lol read more

Pro: Great supplies and a cozy space. Con: REALLY cold service. I'm new to knitting and my questions felt like they were met with annoyance. The 2 people who worked there were waaay more interested in doing their own projects than providing good customer service. While I was checking out, they were asking each other tips on how to do their own projects, which made me feel invisible given I was still being helped. I tried to make small talk and that was shut down with a 1 word answer. This is not the place to go if you have questions about knitting - they don't have the time of day. I still went forward with my purchase, but I wish I would have stayed authentic to myself and just left as soon as I walked in - the coldness was felt immediately. They also offer classes, but I can't see who would want to take a class there with that kind of service and disdain towards people. read more

What a great store! Beautiful yarns, warm atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff! I have more than once brought my knitting project/problems here and the wonderful staff here patiently answered my questions, offered suggestions, and in some cases, corrected my mistakes to save my projects. And on Wednesdays, there is a social stitching period where you can bring your project and knit and chat with fellow knitters. As a beginner knitter, I especially appreciate having a wonderful resource for support and inspiration. read more

Came here to find yarn for a new project. Left with yarn and a new friend. As everyone else has already said, Ulli is a gem. Knowledgeable, kind, practical and smart. She will put together great colors and remind you of what matters: making a knitted item the receiver will love. I'm sold! read more

Wollhaus Artisan Yarn & Tools - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Pasadena, California

Gorgeous yarns! A bit costly but well worth it. Also, "drop in" classes are not at all, about dropping in. You have to reserve your spot for $30.24 hours in advance. Not a problem for me but I just think it's not clear on the website. read more

Was taking the vibes in Sam Marino and Alhambra....to make it up to Pasadena! Wooooo found Wollhaus! Met sweet Betty there. OMG so kind and sweet. Found 3 skeins of pure squishy joy that found their way to my heart! Smaller store that carries lovely wools and artisian yarns. Mellow friendly vibe. Its cozied in a nice courtyard next to a lovely little coffee shop.. 1 hr Street parking and validated parking available. read more

This store is so charming! There are so many fantastic and high-quality yarns here to choose from. The wool is organized by color which is super helpful, and as someone who was using acrylic yarn to start out, switching to wool feels luxurious. Kathy is super helpful and friendly and had great online resources for crochet and knit patterns. Also, they will wrap your yarn in a ball for you, which is a really special touch. I can't wait to come back! read more

Fantastic store with an amazing selection of beautiful yarns and with a very personable and helpful owner- who has travelled the globe to purchase the yarns offered for sale. read more

Wonderful community. The owner is very personable and helpful. And she's a top notch knitter! I enjoy going to see what new goodies they have. I've found Bookhou bags and Addi flexiflips and Brooklyn Tweed and Knitted Wit and Mad Tosh... and I could go on! Lovely colors and nice knitting area upstairs. This place is a gem and is in the courtyard of a very cool Old Town shopping center. Feels like you're away from the bustle when you are there. I highly recommend and I am so happy this place is around! read more

I have made a hobby of visiting yarn shops whenever I am traveling. This shop stands out to me as one of the better that I have been to. The owner is incredible in her skill is a knitter, her friendliness, and her ability to meet the needs of her clients. While I was in the shop, a brand new knitter and an experienced knitter both came for help and to purchase materials, she was completely gracious and helpful to both of them. I was thrilled with the variety of yarns and happily made a purchase! read more

Brought my mom here since she loves to knit and was visiting from DC. Beautiful selection and everyone was really helpful and kind inside. Lots of natural daylight so you can see the colors accurately. Easy to get to, we just parked in the Target garage and walked since we were going to target anyway. We walked past the alcove it is located in the first time so keep an eye out for that. read more

The ladies who work here are so friendly and knowledgeable! I've never been in a shop so beautiful and charming! It may seem small, but you'd be amazed at how many varieties of yarn they have. They have every thing you need to help tackle your next project. I absolutely love the quality products and service here. I would highly recommend this shop to everyone! read more

Thank you Jordan for your help with my shawl knitting project.. you saved the day for me..much appreciated

This is a fantastic yarn shop. Support local business by coming here and get some beautiful yarn in the process. I have been coming here since I moved to the area and they do not disappoint! read more

What a great yarn store. My wife and I were walking by and stopped in. They have a great selection of yarn and other items. The staff was very friendly, made recommendations, and really knew their products. We walked out with yarn and a bag. I highly recommend Woolhaus. read more

I want to give special thanks to Jo, who helped me get passed a block I had with a sweater I am working on. I dropped in not realizing it was sales week, so they were super busy. I felt torn between taking up Jo's time in between other customers and needing to get past my problem or scrap the project! (I think beginner knitters know what I'm talking about). I will look forward to the Saturday drop in class when it resumes in September. read more

Amazing and helpful and great selection. Owner is super nice and really goes above and beyond. I've been to this store numerous times and never leave empty-handed!! read more

Lovely little yarn store. Beautiful selection and I loved looking at all the samples they have knit up for inspiration.

Recently know as Abuelita's, this little knitting shop is amazing. A great place for purchasing yarn, taking classes to learn to knit or crochet and hanging out with other awesome knitters on Thursday nights. Wide assortment of yarns at various budget levels. Natural fibers galore and wonderful owners. Basically the bees knees :) read more

I finally made it out to visit Abuelita's since they made the move to Pasadena, and it is still as cute as ever. When I went, I was greeted by a friendly woman working the register, and we talked about knitting and crochet, and she was so cute and showed me which yarns were new, which colors were new, the hand dyed yarns, a shawl she had made out of a new yarn they just got, etc. She asked me whether I knit or crochet, and I told her I used to knit a lot, but now have given up knitting for crochet. I told her about my Etsy shop, and she was so excited for me (sooooo cute!) but I felt kind of bad because I would never buy yarn from a fancy yarn shop to make the items I sell in my shop. It just costs way too much. The shawl she showed me took 7 skeins to make. And each skein was like $20. What the..?! Well, that's what you can do with your money if you have a lot of it, I guess. I am currently a poor grad student, so I will not be making a 7-skein shawl, but I did take home a lovely Blue Sky Alpaca Azuli yarn :) It's a lovely cotton yarn, so it's machine washable! If you have any questions about yarn, go ahead and ask the staff at Abuelita's, they will be happy to help you! Also, they will spin the yarn for you into a ball if you want - the other lady used to ask me, but this time she didn't so I had to ask. Also, make sure you give them your number to sign up for their digital punchcard - after you buy 10 items, you get $8 of your next purchase! Parking: there is free street parking in the streets surrounding read more

I recently made an afghan as a wedding gift with wool I purchased from Wollhaus. Unfortunately, there was a previously unknown problem with the spinning that caused a lot of pilling, which made me unable to give the blanket away. When I brought the finished product in to show Ulli, she contacted the vendor to find out what happened and fully reimbursed me for the yarn. How delightful to feel supported by a business owner. Not only does Wollhaus have a warm, welcoming environment and beautiful yarns, it has owners who care about their customers. And that's a great combination. read more

While recently visiting Pasadena from out of town I stopped by this knitting store, and was charmed by its offerings. Its tucked into a little shopping courtyard right of Colorado Blvd, with parking on the street or validated in the back parking lot. Its a small store, with a small selection but that selection is a very nice quality of yarns sizes and colors. They offer a community table and a delightful array of knitting fun stuff too (place markers, cases, bags, etc) If you are looking for a mega selection this isn't the place, but if you are stopping by town and eating at any of the fun restaurants and a knitter - I highly recommend you come over and just take a look. You never know what you might find !! :) read more

I had a great time looking the the yarn selection here. I am a new knitter and everyone that worked here has helped me immensely when I have questions regarding yarn type and knitting patterns. Highly recommend stopping by and looking through all the beautiful yarn. read more

Came back for some stitch markers and they have a really good selection of them. Also, I love that there is absolutely no political propaganda like most other stores are doing now. Thank you so much for that! read more

This place is incredible!!!!not only do they have beautiful yarn, they have the kindest, most patient person. Jordan was beyond fabulous!!! She helped me white lost stitches and saved me hours of work. I will definitely be back. read more

This is a little gem in Pasadena. Was there for interweave convention and decided to take a walk outside. The store was adorable and carried lots of varieties but the best part was how helpful the salesperson was (can't remember her name wut had a German/Austrian accent). She was awesome! read more

I've recently become an obsessive knitter. Of course, I've been wanting to try out a local yarn shop to buy yarns but there are none near to me. I was thrilled to find a yarn shop close to where we stopped one afternoon. Woolhaus did not disappoint. The owner is knowledgable and friendly. The store is well stocked with quality yarns. I loved all the beautifully knitted samples. I got many ideas for future projects and bought more yarn than I should have. read more

I've always gone to Michael's for all my yarn needs but I'm so glad to have found this little shop. Their yarn selection is beautiful -- perfect for the nicer projects I have planned. The staff were so kind and helpful too. I'll definitely be back again! read more

Been knitting for years and knew about this place in its previous iteration as Abuelta's. Rediscovered it with the pussy hat craze. So happy with the change of ownership! Kathy and Ulli are warm and generous with their time and expertise. Love the open table times and classes. And they stock the yummiest yarns!! read more
