We’re located in the Spring Arts Tower, on the South-East Corner of 5th and Spring downtown LA. Our official address is 453 S Spring, but the best point of entry is through The Last Bookstore on the 5th street facing side as shown above. Look up to your right, and you’ll see our yarn hanks in the upper corner unit. The stairway upstairs is towards the back on the right. Ask bookstore staff how to get to the yarn shop on the Mezzanine. Call us at 213.908.2656 if you have any trouble! See you soon.
About Us:
Gather DTLA brings yarn and fiber to the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Part of the Historic Core and Gallery Row we’re located on the Mezzanine floor of The Last Bookstore, a 10,000 square foot historic space originally a bank…now pure feat of the imagination, housing thousands of (mostly) used books, records, a coffee shop, artist studios and a growing community of creatives who think outside the box while staying rooted in their shared love of literature.
Gather is focused on sourcing supplies for knitting, crochet and spinning that are local, made in the US, fair-trade, and eco-friendly. You’ll find an urban oasis filled with hand-dyed, organic and unique materials and a community of talented yarnistas and design-a-saurs to help you with your fiber adventure. Whether you’re knitting a hat, looking for unusual art materials for your fiber project, or just trying to learn patience we offer classes, yarn tastings, designer workshops, and curate interesting fiber art from around the world.
Yarn Crawl Special Events:
Thursday Visitors will have a unique opportunity to experience the monthly celebration know as The Downtown Art Walk. This event is a free community happening that takes place in and around the Historic Core and Old Bank Districts of Downtown Los Angeles, home of more than 60 unique art galleries, curio shops and dining options.
Friday, we will hold a sheep shearing and spinning clinic (well, only partly true). The sheep to be sheared is the beloved shop sheep, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff doggy who is finally due for his trim. We have invited our favorite local groomer to perform the honors and will talk about how to harvest your dog’s coat for knitting and host a spinning wheel demonstration at 7pm.
On Saturday and Sunday, visitors will have a chance to participate in an hour-long tour exploring the history and hidden secrets of Historic Downtown LA. Tours will be held at 11am, 2pm, and 5pm.
