On The Road to Puyallup!


Join us at the 2008 Sewing & Stitchery Expo at the Puyallup Fair Grounds. Tons of great classes and stuff to see.

If you are not in the Tacoma area, stop by and see our newly expanded store, upstairs from our former location. We are still moving things around and getting ready for the Grand Opening in March—but all the fabric, blankets and more are on the shelves and available.

How to find us


Living on a divided highway has it's challenges. So, for those who have not visited us yet, here is a handy little map that shows you how to make the little loop around to get to our store if you are coming south from Portland.

Our address is 8500 SE McLoughlin Blvd. Portland, OR 97222
From Downtown Portland: take 99E/Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd until it becomes McLoughlin Blvd. Continue South on McLoughlin until you pass under the orange Springwater Bridge and take a right at the light (Ochoco Street). Loop around Ochoco back to McLoughlin Blvd going North. Our store is in the parking lot just North of the Springwater Bridge.
From the South: take SE McLoughlin Blvd North under the orange Springwater Bridge. Our store is in the parking lot just North of the bridge.

Store Expansion







Forgive the lack of news on the blog these last few month. We've been SOOOOO busy getting ready for our move upstairs into the bright and beautiful new space.
Now, don’t get me wrong – we all had a love for our “Little Red Store” and the “cozy” basement annex. But who could turn down the offer to consolidate both stores into one giant ÜBER STORE? Not your friendly neighborhood Woolen Mill Store staff. So we are excited to welcome everyone to the new location – across the parking lot and up the stairs into what use to be the Weave Room at the Pendleton Foundations Mills.
We are still getting things arranged. The newly painted floor design will be ready for walking on by Tuesday, but the rest of the 12,000 (!) square foot are ready for your visit.

More info to come on expanded hours, space for you to work on projects, gallery hours for the tapestries, our vintage animatronic mill, classes and whatever else we dream up for our lovely new space.
