About Us
We are a full service retail shop for hand knitters and crocheters located in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts (for out-of-town visitors, it's just a quick MBTA ride from Boston.). Our incredible selection of yarn includes the latest each season from Rowan, Classic Elite, Manos del Uruguay, Tahki/Stacy Charles, Araucania, Malabrigo, Colinette, Knitting Fever, and more! We can provide you with whatever knitting accessories you need to make both knitting and finishing your projects easy and successful. We pride ourselves on having the most helpful staff and experienced knitting teachers around. We offer evening classes during the week for knitters at all levels of experience, and private lessons during shop hours, by appointment. Our Monday evening workshops concentrate on specific topics, such as finishing techniques, socks, bead knitting, lace knitting, and more.
Our store philosophy is simple: provide the best selection of goods and services at the best prices we can, and educate our knitters so you can feel liberated in your knitting! In order to do that we search high and low for yarns, books, and accessories that will interest you. We will also continue to learn new techniques we can so that we can share them with you.
We will take the confusion out of your knitting, so you are left with a relaxing, pleasurable experience, straight through from choosing your next project to sewing the last seam. If there is something you don't know how to do, we will direct you to a book, workshop, class, and private lesson or help you right in the store if it is feasible. The best knitter is an educated knitter!
This visit to our website is just a taste of what you will find during an actual trip to Woolcott! While in the shop, you will experience the colors and textures of the yarns and sweaters displayed, be able to browse our extensive bookshelf and pattern collection, and find the perfect buttons to complement the sweater you've just completed.
Until then, please poke around and explore the rest of our website.
