All Points Yarn is filling the gap for fiber artists

Local fiber artists confront reduced access to yarns and sewing supplies due to the closure of JoAnn Fabrics. All Points Yarn, located in Des Moines, WA, has been a thriving establishment since its inception in May 2008, catering to the needs of knitting and crochet enthusiasts. Owner Morgan Hicks prioritizes quality products and customer service while embracing social media and online sales to enhance customer experience. The shop encourages community interaction, offering a space for customers to seek guidance on their projects. Hicks' transition from an aspiring librarian to a successful yarn store owner illustrates his creative journey fueled by a love for fiber arts.

The clientele consists of a diverse mix of individuals and families, highlighting the shop's inclusive environment. All Points Yarn plays a critical role in sustaining the local fiber arts community in the Puget Sound area. As local artists adapt to changing market conditions, establishments like All Points Yarn remain invaluable resources.
