Buttons, buttons, buttons!!


The perfect button makes your project not just special, but extraordinary. We've got a collection for you to browse with a new shipment just in. Now, that's something to look forward to on your next visit!

Ever lose your place?

If you've ever been happily working away on a pattern only to find dozens of rows in that you've missed a row, then we've got a gem for you!

Hightlighter Tape is here! All you do is tape your line, and move the tape as you move on through the pattern. Brilliant!

New Yarn!


We welcome a new yarn to the fold. From Jojoland, this 100% wool yarn is available in both fingering and lace weights. Melody is an inexpensive superwash fingering weight. Great for socks too! It comes in twelve colorchanging shades with recommendations for US #1-3 needles to obtain 7-8 stitches per inch. Harmony is the lace weight, which comes in eight colorchanging shades. US # B1-D3 hook sizes are recommended.


We are putting together a kit for you that includes a pattern to make a shawl and a scarf. Also included is the yarn to complete your project. See, we've done all your work except for the fun part....knitting!

Stitches N-2 Socks






There is something new in the shop! and it's local!


Jeanne Whiteside of Whimsical Fibers & What Have Ewes has brought her "Stitches N-2 Socks" to Fiddlehead Yarns!


Jeanne has handdyed these "flat socks" in fabulous colors and left the appearance of the sock a mystery. You can unravel the mystery by knitting them up. Here's the fun part....Choose any sock pattern you like, unzip the bottom edge and start both socks at the same time. 2 strands begin to unravel which are exactly the same. Exactly the same color yarn means 2 matching socks! There are 400 yards in each of these which is enough for almost anyone's feet!


While you are here, pick up one of the great books we have in the shop on the subject!
