The second pattern in the Yarn Barn 50th Anniversary Collection is now available!

Massachusetts Street, aka “Mass St”, is the main thoroughfare in charming downtown Lawrence, Kansas. This historic street provides a multitude of dining, shopping & people watching opportunities. But for knitters & fiber artists of all types, the destination is always 930 Mass, the long-time address of Yarn Barn of Kansas. The Mass Street Pullover is a reminder of many good times “down on Mass”, but also serves as a cautionary tale about the tricky diagonal curbside parking!
