Lint is a yarn shop who's focus is on making your time here, in the shop, enjoyable. We want you to feel at home in our space. Relax, take in the joy and beauty that knitting can offer. Your well-behaved children and small pets are always welcome. We have  a carefully chosen selection of yarns to suit any taste. We are a Rowan Stockist, which means we are your source for Rowan and RYC yarns and all currently in-print pattern books. We also carry a wide selection of Blue Sky Alpacas, Noro, Debbie Bliss, Crystal Palace, Brown Sheep and as well as Nashua, Berroco, Tahki/Stacy Charles, and more. There is a library with a variety of books and patterns with a focus on fresh, modern styles. You can browse through them in the comfort of our sitting area and have a complimentary cup of tea.

In addition to great yarns, we carry a line of accessories and gifts including needlecases,cards, bags and fine jewelry. Remember us as you need gifts for knitters and as the holidays approach. Some items are unique to LINT, so you wont find them anywhere else.

I invite you to check out our class schedule and I have to say that I am proud to have some of Portland's best teachers here at LINT. If you don't find the class you're looking for, please let us know, or join us for our popular "knit night", an open knitting session every Tuesday evening from 6-9pm. Enjoy sharing projects, learning new techniques and sipping a glass of wine in the company of friends. There will always be someone available to answer your questions.

So let me extend a warm invitation to all of you, new and experienced knitters alike. It is my pleasure to welcome you to your newest knitting adventure.
Sincerely, Melissa Chakmakian
Owner, Lint
