Stitch & Skein

Stitch & Skein Offering yarn and fiber arts supplies, craft lessons, and more, located in Downtown Marion Hello! I'm Candice, and to say I love yarn would be an understatement.

I have always had a fondness for anything handmade - there's just something about someone gifting you an item they made with with their own two hands that really says how they feel about you. After all, when you know how much time and skill goes into something, you know how much work went into it. And it just gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings knowing someone cared about me enough to spend

their precious time making something just for me. One of the things I love about making things is how meditative it can be once you get the hang of it. Plus, with yarn you can just about take it anywhere you go. There's a calm peacefulness about it that I don't find anywhere else in life, and it's the perfect antidote to how busy our day-to-day lives can be. Stressed out? Sit and stitch a while. Angry? Long wait at the doctor's office? Sit and stitch for a while. Feel like you should be doing something productive instead of binge watching another episode of your favorite show? Sit and stitch for a while... because at least then you're being productive at the same time! Here at Stitch & Skein, I want to bring a little bit of cozy relaxation to your life, too.

Hi friends.

It has now been almost a year since our final in-store shopping day. When I closed the physical shop in May 2025, I told myself (and you all) that it wasn't a closure for good, but a transition. I'd channel my energies into selling the yarn online, but I'd still be teaching classes and workshops and pattern designing and all the other things I loved the most about fiber arts and our local community. That the momentum would still be there, or at least return after a break.

But the truth is, it hasn't. I've spent months carrying the weight of that "someday" - someday I'll get new classes posted, someday I'll promote it, and someday I'll feel like a shop owner again. The reality is, my hands hurt when I knit now and it's becoming harder to ignore. My heart isn't in the inventory and spreadsheets and all the mental labor that is keeping up with taxes and class planning and such. And, when I was finally in a place where I could honest with myself, the dream shifted and I realized I have been holding onto the shell of something that's already gone.

So, I'm closing this chapter for REAL this time. Everything will be going on sale in the online shop as I clear out what's left.

Right now, I have the yarns discounted so there's no coupon code needed. As per my in-store closing, I will do my best to make sure we have matching lot numbers on any yarn you order and will email you if there's an issue to let you know. There is still free shipping if you order $75+ of product, as well.

To everyone who walked through the door, placed an order, sat and knit with me, or just believed in what I was building - thank you. This mattered. You mattered. And even though it's ending for good, I'm grateful it existed at all.

I don't know know exactly what comes next, but I know it's time to stop keeping one foot in the past and start moving forward.

With love and gratitude,

Candice ♥

Tonight's the night! Join me at 6:00pm at Emanuel Lutheran Church for some stitching!

It's the announcement you've all been waiting for! 🧶

In case you missed the email that went out earlier, we officially have an open stitch location! For the last 6 weeks I have been teaching knitting and crochet at Emanuel Lutheran, and the sweet ladies in my class have decided they wanted to continue meeting to work on their projects and I've been given the thumbs-up to invite you all to join in!

We'll be meeting monthly on the 1st Thursday each month, with our first meet up on Thursday, November 6th from 6-7:30.

If you've missed our friendship and community this summer (I know I definitely have), please make a plan to stop out and join us!

Hi friends! Apologies for the silence all summer - I had fully intended to take the summer off and rest and recharge to start jumping back into things after school started back up. But, it turns out, you can't rest on a specific timeline, and I realized halfway thru that maybe this season of transition might take me a bit longer to get thru than I originally planned.

After not touching my needles all summer, save for a brief bit on a sock on vacation, I finally picked up this Julgran sweater this morning and it feels... good? Am I, perhaps, on my way to the other side of burnout, and now finding joy again in the hobby I loved enough to open a whole shop around? I sure hope so!

More soon, loves ❤️

Who all hit the Great Lakes Fiber Show, and what all did you come home with? I told myself no yarn buying and then ended up inspired for possible design ideas and came home with these 🤷🏻‍♀️

Friends, THANK YOU. Thank you for the last 4 years, for all the laughs and the friendship and the tears and just... everything.

The brick-and-mortar shop is officially closed, and I'm starting the process of boxing up the yarn that's left and taking inventory so I can make sure the online inventory matches up so I can re-open the website sales.

I'll be back with more details soon-ish on when the website is back up, what's next, etc!

OUR CLOSING SALE STARTS TODAY! Shop is open Thurs 10-4, Fri 11-7, and Saturday 10-4! Come in and shop our inventory at 30% off this week (excludes consignment products).

This is a GREAT time to stock up. Think ahead to those holiday gift projects you might want to make. Have a sweater on your Ravelry queue you're itching to get started this year? Get it now!

I don't want to stress you out to panic buy - I know, from both personal and shop experience, that so many of us have large enough stashes to last us a good while. Even if I sat down and strictly knit from my stash it would probably keep me busy for several years. But tariff pricing emails have already started to be sent out from my vendors. Some already with price increases, others anticipating increases coming this summer as they start restocking their US warehouses. If you've got specific plans for projects this year that you don't already have yarn in your stash to make, and you have the financial means, consider getting it now.

Our closing clearance sales kicks off this week, and you can stock up on our quality yarns at a 30% discount as we wind down our brick-and-mortar retail store.

A reminder that we are now only open Thursday 10-4, Friday 11-7, and Saturday 10-4. We are still hosting an open stitch session on Fridays 5-7pm thru our closing, so feel free to stop out and grab a project and hang out in-store while I'm here!
