About Us

Knotty Lamb is an elegant yarn shop located in the delightful charming downtown of Forest Grove, which is in the heart of Oregon’s wine country.  We are a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Portland and a perfect stop on the way to the Oregon Coast. 

Owner, Karen Rhyne opened its doors in August 2016, with the goal of creating a warm and inviting safe space for all, while providing exceptional customer service.   We welcome all people of race, genders, ages, sexual orientation and those who don’t associate with these categories.  We do not tolerate any exclusivity of any kind.
