The Bloomin' Spindle

A scoop of sorbet on your walk to take a dip in the pool, let your hair dry and you lounge through the park on your way to create a beaded fish keychain with a few friends.

Right across from a beautiful park, and right next to a gelato shop. If you’re really in for a full afternoon of summer, you can walk down to the pool!
When you need a break from the heat, hop in for one of our classes. Learn to knit, crochet, or revisit childhood crafts during our Friday night “camp spindle” events. Bring a craft and hop into the next Sunday book club chat, or spend a Wednesday night meeting new friends at our WIP circle.

Did you see the newest addition to our shop line?
This sparkly DK with neon flecks has already sold out some of its first colorways! Law and Chaos has been a cheerful addition to our shop, what will you make with it?

We had a fun and memorable morning at The Bloomin' Spindle, introducing and CBS Chicago to Chicago's knitting, crochet, and fiber arts community!

The Bloomin' Spindle in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood is a clubhouse for crafters, selling fine yarns from around the world and providing a welcoming space for fine fiber artists, knitters, crocheters and crafters of all skill levels.

We're thrilled to have CBS Chicago Morning News here at the Bloomin' Spindle filming live segments all morning long. It's a beautiful day to shine a light on knitting, crochet, fiber arts, friends, and our community here in Portage Park.

Here are some of the best ways to gift yarn from our shop:
- grab anything from gnome depot fiber, always a favorite and dyed here in Chicago!
- ask us what is new, this time we’d point you to our oink pigments
- sign up for a year or quarter of the mystery skein club
- grab a mystery box for a skein of yarn and some notions
(And just note… all of these are a great way to use your gift card, too!)

Did you see our spooky notions this weekend? We didn’t order many, so order online or come in if you need some haunting additions to your Halloween knitting or crochet while you pass out candy this year!
