McKinney Knittery McKinney Knittery is a yarn shop in Historic Downtown McKinney, Texas. We carry mostly natural fibers, many hand-dyed yarns, unique accessories, and fabrics.

All are invited to attend our weekly Knit Togethers. Stop in and stay awhile! I'm a quilter. So, why a yarn shop? Over the years I have considered opening a quilt shop only to come to the conclusion it was the right time but the wrong place, or the wrong time and the right place. And then we moved to McKinney in 2013. I picked up knitting again, a hobby I found myself coming back to more frequently. I became frustrated with the lack of a local yarn shop. Sometimes you really NEED a size 6 16-inch circular needle right away! It wasn't long before I starting thinking about opening a yarn shop. I was very happy to be joining the outstanding team at Doozie's Corner, bringing yarn and knitting supplies to Downtown McKinney. Interestingly, it is my understanding the building which now houses Doozie's Corner used to have a yarn shop upstairs. So I guess I'm just continuing a tradition. McKinney Knittery is now in its fourth location in Historic Downtown McKinney, the beautifully restored 120-year-old Enquirer Building located at 117 W Louisiana Street. We are loving the additional space, classrooms, of course more yarn...and the addition of fabric and sewing supplies in our sister company, Downtown Dry Goods! I invite you to visit McKinney Knittery and Downtown Dry Goods. Bring a project and knit awhile with us. Maybe even be inspired to start a new project. Take a stroll around the Square. I guarantee you will leave with a smile. While you’re downtown, enjoy a meal at some of our award-winning restaurants. Enjoy your day and come back soon!

This is the yarn we've been waiting for!!!
We’re excited to welcome Katia Concept Cotton-Merino to the shop! This incredibly soft yarn is cozy luxury at its loveliest. It's a unique blend of 70% Cotton and 30% Extrafine Merino. It combines the breathability of cotton with the softness and warmth of merino—creating projects that are warm yet practically weightless.

The versatile gauge makes Cotton-Merino perfect for knitting at either a DK or Worsted gauge, making it a wonderful choice for accessories and sweaters! Ginger knit two gauge swatches (second image), with the big swatch at 16 stitches / 4" and the small swatch at 17.5 stitches / 4".

What makes this yarn truly special is its construction: an undyed chainette cotton tube is filled with unspun, super-soft Merino. The wool peeks through the cotton chainette, creating a halo of color with a beautiful heathered, textured effect.

And...the colors...OH MY! There are so many to choose from!

Katia Concept Cotton-Merino

Worsted weight

- 70% Cotton, 30% Merino Extrafine
- 115 yards (105m) / 50 grams
- Recommended needle size: US 7–8 (4.5–5mm)
- Versatile for DK or Worsted gauge

Handwash gently in cool water with mild wool wash
We are already busy choosing patterns for this...and the Far Hills Scarf by Jared Flood or the Cloud Sweater by PetiteKnit look like great candidates! Ginger is bound and determined to tweak our The McKinney Raglan pattern for the gauge of this yarn because it would be amazing! Stay tuned for how that works out!

Sock knitters know that a sock project is one of the three projects every knitter should have at the ready. Socks are the perfect project for travel because they are small. Their size also makes them good projects for warm weather knitting because it's less fabric on your lap. And, it's almost a requirement to knit a pair of socks in Socktober ;)

The socks in the photo were knitted from Summer Lee's Clog Sock pattern which calls for a DK-weight sock yarn. They have such a clever and well-fitting heel with the added bonus of being beautiful. The cable pattern splits at the ankle and goes down each side of the heel--so cool! I knit these from Honey Hill Favorite Sock which is sadly very understocked right now. Hopefully I can get back out to the dye room soon...but truthfully it may be awhile. I was thrilled when Summer came out with the Clog Sock Lite, a fi*****ng/sock weight version of the pattern with the same heel construction. Yay! Lots of great sock yarn at the shop! Leave it to Summer to spoil us with such great sock patterns!

We can't wait to see your Socktober projects!

Sharing Ginger's Clog Socks Lite, the fi*****ng weight version of Summer Lee popular DK pattern "The Clog Socks". She used the Katia Yarns & Fabrics "Concept United Sock & More" minis for a fun stripe sequence, and loves the cable in the back that splits around the heel.
