Located just five blocks from the King Street metro station in historic Alexandria, fibre space™ is a full service knit and crochet shop and community. We have a wide selection of yarns, needles and notions in a wide range of prices. We specialize in indie and local companies as well as wonderful “staple” yarns. We are a landing pad for busy professionals and families in the DC metro area who are seeking a creative outlet. Let our helpful staff get you started on your next hand made creation!
New to knit & crochet? We can help! Our classes are small (6 people max) and focused on getting you started on a lifelong craft. Check them out here. We also have wonderful starter kits, books and project ideas.
