Bare Naked Wools: Where We Love to Knit Naked!

Why Your YDT Adventure Starts at Bare Naked Wools

Hi there! We're Bare Naked Wools, and if you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about coming to the Yarn Discovery Tour (YDT) this year. Or maybe you’ve never heard of the YDT, and that’s exactly why we’re here—to convince you why it’s the yarn extravaganza you don’t want to miss in 2025! And, most importantly, why you should visit our Bare Naked Wools shop!

First of all, yes, we KNIT NAKED. How? Bare Naked Wools is all about keeping it real with 100% natural, undyed yarn. No chemicals, no superwash—just fresh, high-quality yarn straight from farm to table... or in this case, to needles (or hooks, if that’s your jam).

We’re not just serving up gorgeous yarn—we’ve got knitting patterns galore, all designed by Anne Hanson, the founder of Bare Naked Wools and designer of Knitspot, the creative force behind everything you see on our website and in our shop. With over 600 patterns (and counting!), there’s no shortage of inspiration. So when you visit the shop, prepare to be dazzled and inspired for your next project!

But that’s just the beginning! Aside from our Bare Naked Wools collection, we offer an entire world of woolly goodness from breeds all over the globe—especially in our Barn Box Subscription (cue the “oohs” and “ahhs”). With the Barn Box, you can discover new and rare breeds every other month.

We’re based in Canton, OH—yep, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame—but we promise we’re more about wool touchdowns than football touchdowns. Whether you shop online or visit our cozy shop in person, trust us, there’s plenty of yarn magic happening here!

Although we’re all about 100% natural yarns, we occasionally throw in some “Special Edition” hand-dyed colored yarns—so you might just spot a pop of color here and there, paired with the perfect design to match!

Now, while the Yarn Discovery Tour doesn’t kick off until September, there are plenty of reasons to visit us again and again. With spring in full swing, we're swapping out winter cozies for lightweight, breezy designs and fresh, season-perfect yarns. Plus, we’ve got new designs and special edition yarns coming soon—so who knows if they'll still be here once the YDT starts!

And trust us, there’s more to do in Canton than you think. Make a whole day out of it! Hit up other craft shops like the Artist Gallery (just 10 minutes from us), unwind at Gervasi Vineyard with amazing food and wine. Need a caffeine fix? Walkie Talkie is our go-to coffee and dessert spot. And if you’re after a killer sandwich, Deli Ohio is hands down our fave deli.

(Don’t worry, we’ll even hand you a printed list of all the must-see spots when you stop by. We've got your perfect Canton day planned!)
