Cast Away Yarn Shop

The best yarn shop ever! Big and bright and beautiful, a huge selection of high-quality yarns (in an accessibly price range), modern and stylish, with a friendly and helpful staff. Justine focuses on stocking ethical, sustainably sourced, and/or family/BIPOC owned yarns. Lots of knitting/crochet notions and tools, plus a few things for weaving, punch needle, and embroidery. Plenty of knit and crochet samples to check out. Literally want to live in this shop!

I am in love with the store. There’s a great collection with a lot of variety and the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I love going to the Saturday stitch in! It’s a great place to hangout and meet other knitters!

Great little spot to let your creativity flow! Amazing selection of product, super friendly & knowledgeable staff. Wide range of classes and the building is in a cute little historic district of Santa Rosa. Make sure you sign up for the rewards program! I’ll definitely be returning! 💛

The BEST yarn experience
in ALL of CALIFORNIA!
The owner is so helpful,
friendly, and wonderful!

Great place to pick up unique wool. Very high quality and extremely soft to knit with. I can't walk out without purchasing at least several types.

Amazing LYS! Their fiber selection is phenomenal and the shop is very cute too. I usually meet very knowledgeable people when I travel to new shops but the experience I had here beat them all.

I typically look for yarn (of course), bags, stitch markers and a random pair of needles I don’t have in my collection yet. While asking for the needles, the woman helping me recommended a circular needle size I typically would never have purchased. After I politely declined, she made it a point to respectfully ask what I’d normally buy and why.

Long story short, I’ve been making more work for myself by buying my circular needles way too long. Anyone could have just listen to my request for a longer needle, rung me up and kept the day going. Instead, she took the time to understand what I normally use and why. I learned about a technique of knitting that I’d never considered and walked away very happy.

It’s easy to buy online but this is exactly the reason why I try my best to buy from LYSs. I’ll be sure to visit every year when we take our annual trip to CA for the holidays.

I’ve added a picture for fun. This is apparently how it supposed to look when you knit a hat 😅. It truly is much faster for me.

Beautiful shop with a good selection of fibers and accessories. Bonus: not a hint of that wierd stand off'ish vibe you get from some places, where they make you feel like a burden. The hostess was super helpful, and her pup super asleep. When we asked about a certain tool, she explained how she stopped carrying it because it didn't perform well for her. Nice to see interest in helping folks vs strictly being about profit margins

Best yarn store I've ever been to. Great vibe, sooooo much good yarn. Delightful place.

Cast Away is within a beautiful historic building located on Historic Railroad Square. The interior itself is light and airy, with helpful displays and quirky accents, like an antique “cast-away” sailboat. Helpful staff showed me around the store, and told me about lessons that they offer at the store. The store is family owned as well, by a mother and daughter team, so bonus points for that.

Very helpful employees! Went in to buy a gift for a knitter (knowing nothing myself) and the employees were very patient and informative, guiding me towards the right gift within my budget. Great quality goods.

Great to have a local yarn shop where I can stop in and be inspired. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, and various types of weaving - the store serves many types of crafts.

Beautiful store, friendly owners, quality products! I could easily spend all day browsing and buying! Classes are great too :)

Luscious yarns and much more. Super helpful owners and Olive is simply adogable.

Love this shop. Always helpful and the classes are great! Highly recommend Cast Away Yarn!
