History

Established in 1984.

It began with our owner, Dona Zimmerman, producing and selling her own top-​quality wool. In 1984, she made the progression from raising her own flock of Romney sheep, a breed from the Romney Marshes of England, to opening The Web*sters retail store in downtown Ashland Oregon. Although the store has expanded several times since 1984, we’re still at our original location.

Such a treat! Amazing yarn, knitting needles, and notions selection! I purchased Madtosh, Sweet Georgia, Opal, and Mountain Colors, as well as a LoLo Bar, which I’ve always wanted to try (it works awesome). The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the yarn store had a wonderful feel to it.
This is definitely a LYS to see!

Wonderful yarn store. Great selection of yarn with a really helpful knowledgeable staff. They helped me find the yarn in a some patterns so we could determine gauge since the pattern was open lace and it didn’t specify. We looked all over the store for 7 different types of yarn for 7 patterns. They are incredibly knowledgeable and make good suggestions. They followed my friend around for 30 minutes while she made up her mind. They were amazing and have been every time we visit. They talked to me about the loom classes and about a special class to design my own sweater. Love them!! n love their yarn selection. We stop here twice a year.

This is one amazing yarn shop — such an amazing collection of yarn, implements, and books. What I also really appreciated was the two rounders they had with numerous knitted garments (samples) that were great for ideas. But what really impressed me was the kind and helpful staff. This is a must stop if you are passing through the area.

They give fantastic advice. As a moderately new knitter, I went in wanting to make my first pair of socks and I got great advice on which yarns would be best to learn on and which patterns they recommended most. Not to mention that all the yarn in the store is gorgeous…
I HIGHLY recommend this store!

Websters is an incredible array of color & texture! With floor-​to-​ceiling yarns in every color, fiber, and weight — as well as a wonderful selection of accessories — this store is a knitter’s paradise. I could have spent hours exploring the I credible selection of yarns. I could never knit fast enough to make all the projects that came to kind as I wandered through the store. If only I didn’t live 2000+ miles away!

Ashland is such a charming town it is only fitting that they have an equally charming yarn store… And Websters is it!
I spent most of my time drooling over the Habu Textiles yarn, the selection was fantastic! My friend had to literally drag me out the store, I could have (and should have) spent all morning there! YES WEBSTERS IS A MUST when in Ashland!
Plus Oregon doesn’t have any sales tax… EVEN MORE REASON TO BUY THERE!

One of my favorite places in Ashland, full of wearable art I can’t afford but love to admire. At the very least I press my nose against their front window and yearn, but usually I go in and drool. They have a great selection of interesting jewelry and that’s more affordable. I’ve lost track of how many pieces I’ve bought there over the years. They also sell yarn, so if you knit or crochet you’re in heaven.
