View collectionBooks & Patterns
We still believe in physical pattern books — and we know most of ours inside and out. Before you buy, the real question to ask is: are there three to five patterns in here worth the cost, or would you be better off buying a single pattern on Ravelry? We’ll give you an honest answer either way. That’s always been our approach.
Staff picks are genuinely staff picks — patterns we’ve made ourselves or watched customers fall in love with. And if you’re looking for a pattern to match a yarn you already have (or fell in love with upstairs), we’re glad to help you find it.

Classes & Events
We teach skills, not just projects — because we want you to leave class confident enough to keep creating on your own long after it’s over. Whether you’re picking up needles or hooks for the first time or ready to tackle something that’s been intimidating you for years, there’s a class here for you.
We also host free Thursday community time every week from 4:30–6 PM. Bring whatever you’re working on, sit down with other makers, and ask questions or just enjoy the company. No registration. No pressure. Everyone welcome.
Not local? We offer a monthly Zoom gathering for fiber artists everywhere. You don’t have to be in Laramie to be part of this community.
Want to teach something at Cowgirl Yarn, we would love to hear from you!
When registering for a paid class or event, please take a moment to review our Class Terms & Conditions and include your email and phone number at checkout. That way we can reach you if anything changes.

Embroidery and cross stitch are some of the most portable, meditative making you can do — and we’re glad to carry supplies for both. If you’re just starting out, a beginner kit gives you everything you need in one place: fabric, floss, hoop, and instructions. If you’ve been stitching for years, you know what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find it.
Not sure which to start with — embroidery or cross stitch? Come in and ask. We’re happy to walk you through the difference and help you choose the right first project.

Gifts & Gift Cards
Buying a gift for someone who knits, crochets, or weaves can feel overwhelming if you’re not a maker yourself. We can help. Tell us a little about the person — what they make, what they love, what their style is — and we’ll help you find something they’ll genuinely use and love.
Gift wrapping is always free (it costs a smile). Gift certificates are handwritten and come in any amount. And if you’re shopping for yourself — which is absolutely allowed — you deserve this.

There’s something deeply satisfying about needles that glide just right — smooth joins, gentle clicks, stitches moving with ease across the cord. The right pair almost disappears in your hands, letting you settle into rhythm.

Needle Felting
Needle felting is a relaxing and creative way to work with fiber. Whether you’re just starting out or expanding your skills, you’ll find dependable tools from makers like Fiber Trends, Clover, Ashford and more at Cowgirl Yarn.

Needles & Hooks
The right needle changes everything — not just for your tension, but for how much you enjoy the process of making. We carry a range of brands, materials, and tip styles because what works beautifully in one person’s hands doesn’t work for another. Wood gives you grip. Metal gives you speed. Wood gives you warmth. Interchangeable sets are worth the investment if you knit often.
Come in and hold them before you decide. We’ll remove them from the packaging so you can feel the difference yourself. That’s the only way to really know.

Spinning and Weaving
The Fernwood Studio, downstairs of the shop is where weavers and spinners come to work, learn, and find what they need. Whether you’re setting up your first rigid heddle loom or adding to a spinning practice you’ve had for years, we carry the supplies and can help you figure out what’s right for your setup.
Beginners are especially welcome here. Weaving and spinning look more complicated than they are, and the right guidance makes all the difference. Ask about our classes — we teach both skills from the ground up, with no assumed knowledge and no gatekeeping.

View collectionTools and Notions
Notions are the tools that make your making easier — and there are a lot of them out there. We stock the ones that actually work. Our rule here is function first: if it does its job well and happens to be beautiful, even better. If something is cute but fiddly, it doesn’t earn shelf space.
Not sure what you actually need versus what you just think you need? We’ll give you an honest answer. (And if you already own six of something, we’ll probably tell you that too.) Come in and hold the needles or hook before you buy them — it really does make a difference in how much you enjoy your making.

Wyoming Grown Yarn
View collectionWyoming Made
This is the collection we’re most proud of. Every yarn and fiber here was grown, raised, and made right here in Wyoming — from Mountain Meadow Wool in Buffalo to small-batch producers across the Cowboy State. We carry Wyoming-grown fiber because we believe the best yarn comes from knowing exactly where it started, and because buying it means supporting the ranchers and makers in our own backyard. If you’re a traveling fiber artist, this is where to start. If you’re a Laramie local, this is how you shop your values.

Yarn
We’re known as a wool shop — and we’re proud of that.
Wool is at the heart of Cowgirl Yarn: timeless, beautiful, and made to last. But we also know life isn’t always hand-wash only. That’s why we thoughtfully curate yarns for a range of projects and price points — from Wyoming-grown and American-made wool to easy-care, machine-washable options for busy families and everyday wear.
Our shelves hold fibers from close to home and from around the world.
Not sure which direction to go? We’re always happy to help you find something you’ll truly enjoy making with.

Yarn
Finding the right yarn starts with color — and that’s exactly how we built this collection. Whether you’re hunting for a specific fiber, need something machine-washable for a busy household, or want to splurge on a skein of Wyoming-grown wool you truly deserve, you’ll find it here. Browse by weight, fiber type, or care instructions. Not sure what you need for your project? Tell us what you’re making and we’ll point you in the right direction — that’s what we’re here for.
View collectionYarn Bowls
Yarn needs a yarn bowl to call home while you knit or crochet! We are proud to offer a selection of handmade yarn bowls as well as top name brands like Lykke and Chaiogoo.
View collection
Yarn Cones
At Cowgirl Yarn, we believe you can weave with just about any yarn — but sometimes a cone is exactly what your project calls for.
You’ll find a thoughtfully curated selection of yarn cones here. We carry trusted brands like Gist, Lunatic Fringe, Great Northern Weaving, Ashford, Venne, and American Made — each chosen for quality, color, and performance.
Not seeing what you need? Let us know. We’re always happy to special order for your next project and help you get exactly the right yarn for the cloth you’re dreaming up.
