HOLLY SPRING HOMESPUN first opened her doors on the 17th of April,
2004 in the historical village of Powhatan County, Virginia. In
August of 2007 we moved to our present site, "the little white
house" near the courthouse.

We are only about a 30 minute
drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Take 288 to Midlothian
Turnpike and go west for about 10 miles - turn left onto Route 13
(Old Buckingham Road) towards Powhatan Courthouse. Go around the
traffic circle - we are on the right side. There is a delightful Bed
and Breakfast and several dining choices within walking distance of
the shop. We'd love to see you.

We offer a unique
assortment of fine yarns including wool, silk, alpaca, cotton, corn,
milk, bamboo, as well as novelty yarns from such suppliers as Tahki
Stacy Charles, Schaefer, Classic Elite, Brown Sheep, Harrisville,
Dale of Norway, Tilli Thomas, Scarlet Fleece, Kollage, Universal and many more.
We are the only shop
in the greater Richmond area offering spinning wheels, drop spindles
and supplies from suppliers such as Majacraft, Schacht and Grafton
Fibers, including roving locally grown and hand-painted. We also
feature needle felting kits and supplies.
The first and third Tuesday of the month
(6:30-8:30 p.m.) is our official Knit Nite,
which is our excuse to get together with a lively group of
knitters - this is a diverse group ranging from expert to novice.
The common thread is we all love the needlearts and we love to have
fun!

Our Thursday mornings
(9:30-11:30) are set aside for our Sit Knit
which is just another reason to get together with fellow needlers.
This is the perfect time to work on your projects, perhaps get a
little help and, of course, laugh and eat a little. Although the
makeup of this group does change somewhat from week to week, we do
have our regulars who, like us, will look for any excuse to play
with yarn.
