Unwind Fiber Arts

A hand-dyed and luxury yarn boutique in downtown Lee’s Summit, opened by a knitter who couldn’t buy the yarn she wanted in her own town — now a gathering place for makers with knit nights, spinning circles, and craft afternoons.

• Name: Unwind Fiber Arts, LLC
• Type: Yarn and fiber-arts boutique
• Owner: Tammy Garrison ¹
• Established: March 1, 2019 ¹
• Address: 217 SE Main St, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063 ¹ (previously listed at 207 SE 3rd St ²)
• Signature: Hand-dyed and luxury yarn across every weight (laceweight to super bulky); knitting/crochet instruction; in-house yarn dyeing ¹
• Status: Open ¹
• Tier: 1## Description

Unwind Fiber Arts stocks yarn organized by weight and fiber type — animal and plant-based — from brands including Blue Sky Fibers, Emma’s Yarn, and Knitting for Olive, alongside needles, hooks, notions, books, magazines, and project kits ¹. Beyond retail, the shop teaches knitting and crochet, dyes yarn in-house, and hosts regular community gatherings: social spinning time, craft afternoons, knit nights with happy hour, and coffee-and-craft sessions ¹. The owner frames it as a “Kind Community” built around fiber arts and connection ¹.

Ownership and history

Tammy Garrison founded Unwind Fiber Arts because she “couldn’t find the yarns I wanted to work with locally in Lee’s Summit,” turning a personal search for quality materials into a community business ¹. The shop opened March 1, 2019 ¹. It is independently owned and operated — not a chain — and is known regionally for the maker retreats Garrison hosts ³.

Note: the official site lists the current address as 217 SE Main St, while third-party directories still show 207 SE 3rd St; the Main Street address appears to be current ¹².
