Handknitting.com is, as far as we have been able to verify, the oldest online yarn shop ever, having been on the internet since 1996.
We are Laurel and John Murphy, and we operate Handknitting.com as close to a friendly, helpful, welcoming Local Yarn Shop (LYS) as you can get on the web.

Greetings from the wet coast. Just a note to say that you’re indeed “as close to a friendly, helpful, welcoming Local Yarn Shop (LYS) as you can get on the web.” I have received consistently helpful, pleasant and speedy service from you, and I much appreciate it.
I like the new website too. If by chance you’re contemplating further changes, I have a suggestion: is it possible to make yarn thumbnails a bit bigger when one clicks on them? Some are fine, but others could usefully be bigger.
Best wishes for a successful Stitches show.
