Harrisville Designs Retail Store
Our retail store location is more than just a destination yarn shop. It’s where 200 years of woolen-spun textile tradition and vibrant color palettes combine to create an ethereal, uplifting atmosphere brimming with warmth, creativity, and projects yet to be discovered. Â
Housed in the 1830’s Harris Mill, the first-floor location welcomes customers with sunlit windows, whitewashed brick walls, idyllic views of the brook, and of course, endless skeins of our natural 100% wool yarn. Â
The luminous colorwork combinations from our classic Highland and Shetland lines, specialty American Cormo Nightshades and Daylights lines, Shear, beautifully carded fleeces, award-winning Friendly Loom products, and high-quality handcrafted looms and weaving accessories all continue to be manufactured right here in Harrisville, New Hampshire.
Workshops & Classes
Since 1971, the steps to the second floor have led HD students from across the U.S. and around the world, into our spacious, light-filled studio. It’s here that classes—taught by renowned instructors—are held for knitters, makers, sewers, and weavers of all genres during our annual workshop season.
Typically meeting between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m, the studio is made available 24 hours a day to students. Week-long attendees have the added opportunity to tour our spinning mill, listen to a talk on the history of Harrisville, and immerse themselves in our village community.Â
