Nurture your Love of Fiber Arts

As you crisscross your way through NE Ohio be sure to stop in at Long Tail Knits located in Northfield Center. We are the Crossroads of NE Ohio and can be easily accessed from US271, US77, Rt 8 and the turnpike.

Long Tail Knits is not your ordinary yarn shop. We are a fiber arts store as we do so much more than knit and crochet. While knitting and crochet are important to us, so is spinning, weaving, needle felting, macrame, etc. Fiber arts include many forms, and these can cross over into each other.

Our local indie dyers, Kris and Sue with alk&me Fiber Art Studio, provide a wide variety of yarns and other fibers for spinning, weaving and needle felting. Kris also teaches dye techniques from her studio here in Sagamore Hills, Ohio, as well as our beginner and advanced spinning workshops here at Long Tail Knits.

Long Tail Knits will be hosting Laughing Cat Fibers for a trunk show. Laura will be here with all her wonderful yarns and other fibers Thursday through Sunday September 4 – 7, 2025. Be sure to stop in and say “Hi!”

Mission statement: To create an environment where knitting, crocheting and other related arts can be developed, nurtured and appreciated in the fiber arts community by providing materials, skills and confidence to our customers so they can attain their individual personal goals.

We stand by our mission statement and feel we not only have the best customers, but friends that come to visit and stay awhile. We like to hang out with them daily. Check out our website at www.longtailknits.com to see the many different techniques we enjoy teaching along with opportunities to come and join us at any of our Open Craft Groups.

While in the area, be sure to check out The Thrifty Owl used bookstore just 2 doors down from us. Need a refreshing snack or beverage? Visit Incredibowls Fruit Co. in the next plaza. Fresh fruits are the perfect choice to boost you along the way. Need something sweet? We have the infamous Rosati’s Frozen Custard just up the hill. It is within walking distance, too.
