Forbidden Fiber Co.
Covington
We hand-dye everything in our shop on the premises! From yarn, to cross-stitch fabrics and threads, to project bags, everything is handmade. I have always said that I want to tell a story with my yarn, and we definitely do that - everything has a theme and a meaning behind it. We would love to help you pick out something for your next project!

What to expect
I'm excited to share our new studio! We moved to this location in July 2024 and are having so much fun using up all the space! The new shop is so open and accessible, and we have a fun little area called The Living Room where anyone can come sit and stitch at any time. We are always creating something new and there is so much to see.
