Who are we?

From left to right, we're Ginger, Lorena, and Sharon. We like yarn!

Hanks Yarn and Fiber is the newest yarn store in Gainesville, Florida. We have one simple goal - to create a friendly, welcoming, and diverse community of fiber enthusiasts who share our passion for all fibery endeavors (crochet! knitting! spinning! needle felting! weaving! dyeing!) and to become a neighborhood center for all things fun and crafty.

We are ourselves knitters, crocheters, weavers, and spinners; and we carry a wide selection of yarns and tools for every budget and taste, as well as fibers, spinning wheels, and accessories. Plus we offer classes for everyone from beginner to advanced, nine years old to ninety!

Stop by and visit any time (our couch is always open, and the kettle is always on). Or, feel free to join us on Friday nights for Unfinished Object Friday after 5 PM, or Sundays for Stitch ‘n’ Bitch from 2-4:30 (our charity crochet/knitting group meets at the same time). Bring a project and make some new friends in our relaxed and inspirational atmosphere.
