My Dream Yarn Shop - Fiber Heart in Urbana, IA

[@Whatdottiemakes]

I can’t believe such an amazing yarn shop has been so close to me and I didn’t know about it. I drove up this afternoon to visit and it was just as amazing in person!

[@KnittyNatty]

Ahh I love to hear this. So happy that you enjoyed it!

[@ArabianShalifa]

I’m sort of in the same boat. I grew up in Waterloo, Iowa. I’ve lived in Dubuque since getting married 40 years ago. This is the first I heard of it. I used to drive the 20 minutes to Galena IL for Yarn at Fiber Wild, I learned to knit sock there. I learned to knit and crochet at Yonkers before we had children. I’ll have to stop by one day.

Can’t wait to visit the shop! We are planning a fall trip, soon- I hope! DK weight has always been my favorite. I am a Crocheter. I hope you have a few of those too. As for shipping, it has gone up everywhere. Thank you, Natalie, for visiting all these amazing yarn shops! What a gift!

We recently moved to Vinton, Iowa from Cedar Rapids. Now that we live less than 15 minutes from Urbana, I have to curb my yarn urge to every other week. Otherwise, I'd have to get a part-time job to help me feed my yarn stash. This is such a wonderful store with an amazing variety (with price points for every budget)! And, they have my favorite brand - Malabrigo!

[@jennteal5265]

I'm so tempted since I'm in Walker.... but I don't know how to knit OR crochet and I haven't been able to find any classes locally either. YT has been mostly a miss :\

[@janec9038]

Thank you Natalie and Kent for what you both are doing for all knitters around the world. This yarn shop is my most favorite so far. I sure wish I lived there. I would be right there knitting with everyone! ❣️🧶

[@historybuff7137]

Vicki is a precious, generous soul. Beautiful shop!

[@kayefudge9469]

Hi Natalie what a great interview with such an interesting lady ! Her yarn coffee shop is amazing Kaye x

[@nancyprinsze2211]

What an amazing yarn/gift/coffee shop. I have never been to Iowa, and now I want to go just to see this shop. Another fabulous yarn shop tour. I love them all.

[@RacheltheSAHM]

You can make it worth your while if you swing through the Amanas and/or Dubuque too :)

[@wendyhopp8137]

Wish I'd been paying attention to know you'd be in Iowa. Would have drove out to meet you and knit with you. Thank you for showing off this shop!

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Natalie and Kent. Another great yarn tour. I wish I could go visit and stay all day. I love that it is a family business that is the combination of a cafe and that they sell other products that tie in with each other. Great they cater for the community Thankyou.

[@heathertucker7056]

What an amazing place for knitters and crocheters to meet in a safe and wonderful environment! That is definitely my dream business to include all the family and leave a legacy like that! Thank you Kent and Natalie for showing us this wonderful shop and amazing owner.

[@jessicaknittingsworth7359]

Such a fun store. I hope this little community heals after losing their friend Paulette 😢

[@sharbear1968]

It’s such a blessing there are independent yarn stores scattered across the country. What a fantastic tour.

[@CharliesComfort]

I love this!! Wish i lived closer. I love the breast cancer yarn. As a survivor, i may need to make a shawl

[@victoriaressler3547]

This looks so cool!! If I ever had the guts to go into business, I'd want to have something like this. Hopefully, when my baby is weaned, I'll drive up from MO for a visit. :)

[@heidir2692]

Natalie and Kent I’ve loved watching your LYS tours and so excited to finally see Iowa! This is not too far up the road from me and I will be making a trip soon I hope to see it in person. I don’t know of any other shop close and I miss the one we used to have here. If any other eastern Iowa knitters know of shops please let me know! Thank you again for all of your content.

[@cherylmorrison2803]

What a great interview and incredible destination Yarn Shop! Thanks Natalie!❤

[@KariEngblom-Youkey]

That was SOOOooooOO fun! Looks like heaven to me❤. What a wonderful community and such a lovely family business! Thank you so much for allowing us all a peak into it😊

[@PHIMAHANGTIA]

Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa. And I’m about ready to pack up and move to Urbana. This looks like the yarn/wine/cafe/coffee/meetup spot of dreams.

[@KnittyNatty]

Haha omg I love this comment! It really is the best place!

[@sherikoehler732]

I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS EPISODE! I AHAVE RARIN TO GET TO Urbana, but because of vehicle issues, just haven't made it yet. Looking at everything Available I need to save my pop cans for yarn!😅 Thank you Natalie, Vicky and Kent for your time!

Ok, I'm taking a day to go here next time I visit my mom

[@shannonjones5324]

I want to move to Iowa now…

[@Jacobpdx]

This place looks like my dream destination. I wish they sold online thought. 😔

[@toscatattertail9813]

Wish you had an online store, it's not cost effective to drive from Council Bluffs to visit the store.

[@nicoledoyal8386]

Let’s just say it’s a good thing I don’t live near there….id have to take every Wednesday afternoon off and go claim a chair for 8 hours!

[@melbaburwell6264]

😂

[@krystalgoodrow2841]

We have Def done that and on days off for holidays, 8am to 8pm marathon! We are so blessed with this family! ❤❤❤

[@livc1981]

[@Lois-u3w]

My friend is opening a yarn store. Bought a stormer. Doing construction. Looking for yarn buyers. A lot of these stores closed during covid

[@liziking306]

What a beautiful store. How can you order the yarns online? I looked into the website and didn't see it.

[@Geeguess]

I heard the owner say they are in person store but do sell occasionally over the phone.😢

[@liziking306]

@@Geeguess - thank you for this information. I appreciate it.

[@jetv1471]

It is “fingering yarn “ isn’t it ? Not “fingerling? “ I have a friend who owns a yarn shop … so I have a “general “ idea of what’s involved . I have to say that THIS SHOP in this video has more up front investment than I have ever seen !!!- and yet the owner calls it fingerling yarn . It’s like “the ultimate “ yarn shop… checks all boxes . An amazing story thank you so much for your tours Natalie ❤❤

[@MikeWhitney-cg8ez]

Perhaps the owner was nervous being on camera and mispronounced "fingering". This lady definitely knows her yarn and would never think to correct someone who mispronounced a word.

[@wdbreezy]

You had my interest until I saw angora rabbits. Research the practice and you may feel the same way.

[@Bethene0317]

Ok…so this family won the lottery….bought land…built 7000 square foot building….and just the number of lazy boy chairs in the lounge…..yikes

[@krystalgoodrow2841]

Not quite the story. Lol Blood sweat and tears of being an ER nurse for a LOT of years, him working his heart out up the corporate ladder and sacrificing home time for work travel. I've never known a couple, a family, that works so hard to get where they are and give back so much to the community. They truly are a blessing to all of us. They have become our family. ❤

[@vickygoble1601]

Thank you Krystal. It’s so hard to publicly share a part of yourself and to be torn down because you do. I appreciate your friendship People like you are why we do it

[@historybuff7137]

Hi Vicki, it's Patricia here, fabulous lady, fabulous shop! She is a smart, creative, very hard-working, kind & generous woman. This is a beautiful store & worth the trip to see it!

[@EllensCrochet]

What a wonderful shop. I met Marcie from Bad Sheep Yarn when she was at a LYS trunk show, her fiber is just lovely. 🧶🧶🧶

[@sandistolle4874]

Such a wonderful place! I just love the lounge. 🧶
