Heart Strings Yarn

Heart Strings Yarn is a small knit shop in Quincy offering yarn, supplies, classes and a social space for knitters and crocheters. Its guiding idea is that knitting nourishes the mind, body and spirit, and the shop presents itself as a cozy, welcoming place where creativity, connection and community come together. Its tagline sums up the approach: “Where Knitting is Our Therapy.”

The shop grew out of the owner’s habit of wearing hand-knit hats and ponchos to book club and neighborhood gatherings, where friends often commented on them, and the story began in 2017. Today the schedule includes Sunday afternoon classes in the fall and early winter, project-based sessions such as building sock-making skills on a larger scale, and occasional special events such as spirit readings.
