Woven Art's Home in East Lansing, Michigan
Woven Art is a unique and inviting yarn shop and fiber art gallery in downtown East Lansing, at the doorstep of Michigan State University. Our specialty is artisan yarns. We have our own line of hand-dyed and hand-painted yarns. We also carry handspun yarns, and yarns from small mills. Our large selection also includes yarns that are made from sustainable and environmentally friendly fibers, and yarns supported with great patterns and designs.

We got into this business because of a life long love of all things stringy, and an equal passion for sharing this love. We offer classes and workshops in knitting, crochet, weaving, dyeing, spinning and more. In addition to our own talented teaching staff, we bring in well-known instructors from both near and far.


Woven Art is a good place to get ideas for your next project, buy the best and most unusual yarn, and see exhibits of inspired and inspiring fiber art. Want to stay connected with WovenArt?

12.31.2013Knit and Crochet Help Night
Got a technical problem with your Knitting or Crochet project? Want to learn something new, but we just don't have quite the class you want? Every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m., beginning right after Labor Day, we have our help night. You can join in for $15 per session, but a better deal is to buy a punch card for $40, which is good for four sessions, whenever you need them. We do ask that you reserve your spot one day ahead, and it is extra nice if you let us know what you might be working on.

12.31.2013Announcing Craft Night - Thursdays 6-8
One of the things that makes knitting, crochet and other fiber crafts a bit different from other art forms is the potential for social interaction. You can do your fiber craft on your own, and often I enjoy that. But knitting and crochet in particular are well suited to participation with others. There is nothing quite as lovely as chatting with friendly people in an inviting environment while your hands are working with beautiful materials.
Woven Art has some opportunities to do just that.
Sunday Afternoons you will always find a group of people making things in our comfy chairs. On the 1st Sunday of every month, you will encounter a book discussion! Everyone is welcome to the Woven Art book club, but if you would like to participate, please call ahead for the book title, so you can read it.

Now every Thursday is Craft Night! Bring your knitting, crocheting, spinning wheel or portable loom, and enjoy the company of others while you enjoy your craft! 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., free of course.
