Rainy Day Yarns & Mercantile

"Friendly, small, and quaint. It's more of a knitters store, but I still found some great yarn."

"This is such a lovely, relaxing place to visit. I am always greeted warmly and offered help. Wandering and yarn petting are encouraged, as is asking questions. Rainy Day offers a wonderful selection of locally dyed yarns, as well as commercial staples. Their needles & notions selection is extensive, as is the collection of single & double ball wooden yarn spindles. The most desired additions to my wish list however, are the amazing bags - locally handmade by a mother and daughter team. Each one is truly unique, and truly covet-worthy."

"Beautiful shop! Bright and airy! With great yarn and friendly people! A nice little area to sit and knit or crochet I looked online and they have groups on certain days that you can join or you can go use the space when not reserved. I went on a quick errand to find complementary yarn for this variegated one skein a friend gave of cashmere blend."

"Made a quick stop to Rainy Day while I’m in Washington and wanted some hand-dyed yarn as a souvenir. And it was the perfect spot for that since the store itself sells its own hand dyed yarn. The woman who helped me was one of the store owners and fellow Texan. She was incredibly helpful and super kind. I got their Suri Silk Cloud in Storm Clouds, a Bees Knees reusable candle, a blocking needle set, and a couple cute little stitch markers. Definitely want to return whenever I’m in Washington state."

"OH MY GOODNESS, this is the best yarn store I have ever been to and I've been knitting for 60 years! The yarn is either carefully purchased or hand dyed by Sherri or her sister. The yarn never stays long in the shop-it sells quickly so make sure you buy enough for your project. In addition to their hand dyed yarn and other hand dyers yarn, they have a lot of choices for yarn produced elsewhere that has been specially chosen for quality. Not just wool but also so many different types of fiber and special yarn for babies!! Since Sherri knits all the time and also designs patterns, her knowledge is exceptional. The service is amazing because it is owned and run by the same ladies. They have great classes and other merchandise. And special events-so much fun!!!"
