Harriett McNabb  The Village Yarn Shop opened May 17, 2008. I had been teaching 7-8 grade English for nearly 30 years and I had been dreaming of a place to share my love of fiber, color and friendship. Terry (my husband of 34 years) still is working at Caterpillar but supports my passion whenever he can – he would even like to learn to knit – the colors are contagious!

We chose Zionsville – or rather, Zionsville chose us. When we first saw the town, the downtown shops have the homey charm that we were looking for. People here are just so warm and helpful. They have welcomed us and wished us great success.

Our selection of yarns comes from all over the world. New yarns come in all the time – the UPS man is getting his exercise.  Please come join us by taking a class-we have teachers that teach beginning to advanced classes. Kids are welcome!

Jane Fuqua  I teach beginner-level classes. My husband and I and our three sons moved from San Diego to Zionsville in 1999.  I have found knitting to be a great source of joy in my life and it has led me to meet wonderful people that I never would have known.  My favorite patterns are by Cabin Fever Knits.  I am delighted that we have a wonderful yarn shop right here in Zionsville!

Maureen Hoyer   I teach beginner and advanced beginner level classes.  My mother taught me to knit when I was young, and I rediscovered knitting a few years ago.  I love all the new yarns, fibers and designs that are available for knitters these days!  I like to try patterns that allow me to try different yarns and learn new techniques.  Knitting has introduced me to many nice people, and I love meeting all the new knitters at the Village Yarn Shop!

Aletha Hughs   I taught myself to knit in the early 60′s while living in Newport, Rhode Island and we were able to go to yarn factories and buy yarn by the pound!  I knit argyle socks and  sweaters; baby, children and adult sweaters; afghans. I have tried felting. New patterns and yarns are always coming out to give me another challenge. It has always been fun to take classes as new techniques are so much fun to learn.
