Where else would one find a barn full of yarn but in Texas? In actuality, the Yarn Barn is housed in a sweet cottage with a porch and old wooden floors. You walk through the various rooms realizing that this was someone’s home once upon a time. It is a quaint cottage full of beautiful yarn.
Today’s Yarn Barn is under new ownership. When I lived in San Antonio, the old Yarn Barn was my LYS. I remember when they were closing – their lease was up and they would have to find a new location – so the owners decided to retire. I was so worried that the Yarn Barn would cease to exist! But not to worry. Enid came to the rescue and kept its doors open.
The new Yarn Barn has a wonderful selection of yarns in all fibers and colors.
The Yarn Barn also caters to needlework beyond knitting and crocheting and has an extensive selection of canvasses and threads for needlepoint, cross stitch kits and some weaving supplies.
The Yarn Barn is located at 1615 McCullough Avenue in San Antonio, Texas. Parking is a challenge, especially if you park out front, but they do have overflow parking across the street. The location is a bit off the beaten path – not much retail around it – but accessible from IH35 and the McAllister Freeway (U.S. 281).

Oh my goodness! I had no idea this place existed. I live in San Antonio and this sounds so perfect. Thank you for sharing!
You have to stop by! Everything is so orderly and displayed clearly and neatly. Enjoy!
I will try to visit next time I am in SA!
Let me know what you think!
If only we had yarn stores like that here in Greece!!!!
Do you have many yarn stores there? Are they smaller shops?
Sadly there is no variety. You can find acrylics and cotton but the real wool is nonexistent.
This is a stunning place. Wish I could get around there for some serious shopping. 🙂 maybe I should add Texas to my “to do” list? 😉
Thank you for a great post, and such beautiful photos!
If you come to Texas, you have to let me know and I will show you around. Of course, SA – as you know – has wonderful locally sourced fibers and yarn.
Thank you. 🙂
Yes, we have very lovely yarns and fibers as well. I do like to support the local suppliers and dyers, and adore the yarns they supply to us. Some are so soft, I just love knitting with them.
looks like so much fun! And I spotted some yarn (Done Roving) from one of our local producers – good to see it spreading across the land!
So glad! They do have a variety of international brands and local yarns.
Looks like a fabulous spot to visit!
There are several very nice yarn shops in San Antonio – surprising for such a hot place!
😍 this place looks like heaven on earth!
