Overview: We are four long time friends who believe in the philosophy that friends who sit together should knit together.  After sharing 15 years of sitting and watching our children at the local baseball fields, soccer fields and hockey rink, we found ourselves facing the empty nest syndrome.  We decided to continue sitting together and share thoughts and knitting afforded us the best avenue to achieve this goal.  We started knitting in October of 2004 and immediately became hooked.  We spent every spare minute knitting as our new obsession began taking over our lives.  Soon, we were traveling all over the Minneapolis area exploring every yarn shop we could find.  Realizing that we could not get specialty yarn in our home area, Coon Rapids, MN, we thought out loud: "Why not open our own shop." Thus was the birth of "All About Yarn", a specialty yarn shop.  Because we like to sit and knit we decided to incorporate this theme into our store and have included a beautiful fireplace and living room setting into the middle of our shop. 
Our Products: We have a fun and relaxing atmosphere where beginners as well as advanced knitters will find a cozy family room style knitting area.  Our shop carries a wide array of beautiful and reasonably priced yarns from at least fifty different companies, some unique to this area.  If you love felting as much as we do then our shop is the place to be.  We offer a huge and very colorful selection of wool.  We also have hundreds of different yarn choices to create beautiful scarves, hats, mittens, fingerless mittens, shawls, afghans, sweaters, baby items or anything else your creative mind can think of.  Our sitting area is perfect for individuals looking for a quiet get away or small groups who love to knit together.  We offer classes for all levels and have a wide assortment of knitting accessories, patterns and books.
