Mind’s Eye Yarns
About
Mind’s Eye Yarns is an Arlington yarn shop for knitters, crocheters and spinners, carrying a range of yarns and spinning fibers. It calls itself “the inclusive little yarn shop that could,” and longtime locals may know the spot as the place where the Papa Gino’s used to be. Staff are glad to offer advice on projects already underway or still in the planning stage, whatever the craft.
The shelves draw on a range of yarn makers, including Noro, Manos del Uruguay, Jody Long, Araucania and MODA Fiber Co., with space-dyed and painted yarns among the lines carried. The shop presents itself as a place where crafting and community meet, and the selection is chosen to suit crochet and knitting projects of all kinds, with spinning fibers on hand for those who make their own yarn.
