Loopy Yarns

vegan-friendly
Yarn store in the south loop
Loopy Yarns has all the supplies for pretty much any knitting or crocheting project, including yarns, needles, patterns, and books. They also offer classes for all ranges of learner levels.
What makes them veg-friendly is that they have a special section on their yarn wall labeled "Vegan" yarns! Here you will find yarns made of bamboo, soy, corn among others. Cotton yarns also have their own section. It is one of the few, if only, yarn stores to make a special effort for vegan knitters and crocheters.
Directions:
Near State and Balbo. Off the Harrison red line station.

Loopy Yarns is definitely one of the best yarn shops I've visited. Not only did they have the special vegan yarn section, but the people that work there are SO incredibly helpful and friendly. Their passion is very infectious. It's definitely worth a visit if you're a vegan knitter/crocheter or are thinking of getting into it.
