Located within a small cluster of shops in Cape May, known as the Washington Commons, is Fiber Arts Yarn Shop, a premier knitting shop stocked floor to ceiling with exotic, organic and natural yarns from around the world. Founded in 1986, Fiber Arts Yarn Shop recently celebrated 30 years of providing quality yarn and kitting accessories to the Cape May County community and beyond.
Owner Jana Greer started Fiber Arts Yarn Shop at the age of 31 when her children were just 2, 4 and 6 years old. A stay-at-home mother, Jana needed to find something she could do while staying home with her young children. She resorted to knitting, a hobby that warped into so much more.
“I wanted to do something creative with yarn, colors and designing, and this was something I could easily do at home,” Jana shares. “I loved to knit and create garments and accessories for my kids and family, and there wasn’t really another yarn shop around, so I started selling yarn and it became my job.”
The business only grew from there, and eventually landed Jana in the beautiful space Fiber Arts Yarn Shop occupies today.
Fiber Arts Yarn Shop not only offers beautiful, brand name yarns, but also specialty knitting tools, handcrafted buttons and a large selection of books and accessories. Classes are available for first-time knitters, or experienced knitters who just need a hand!
Fiber Arts Yarn Shop’s mission is simple: to represent all the Fiber Arts modalities – knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving and machine knitting; as well as inspire your creativity and enhance your fiber skills while providing fine quality yarns, implements and one-on-one instruction to do so. Stop by soon at 315 Ocean St., Cape May, and find lovely yarns and lovely people!

Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
