I love this yarn shop and after today's visit I just had to yelp about it. Every time I have an appointment near here I swing by to snag some new yarn. They have a variety of yarns here from the super luxe hand died wool to more affordable cotton and bamboo blends as well as a variety of, well, all things stitch related! Honestly, every time I come in here I find something I just have to get. Also, the owner is amazingly welcoming and friendly and although I haven't done it yet they have a back room where you can just come and stitch and enjoy refreshments and get some advice when the owner is available, as well as a variety of classes. It's stitch heaven! If you like fiber arts this is a must stop shop! read more

Stopped by today looking for a basic color suitable for a mans neck scarf, found just what I needed. Friendly greeting by the shop owner, wide selection of fibers with a nice range of prices. The wall displays are functional and so stylish. Love them ! I only wish I lived closer as I would be there as much as possible knitting and visiting with others who love needlework. Hat's off to Kelly and Tony, love your quaint shop and your welcoming presence. read more

My granddaughter just decided to take up knitting so I was thrilled to find we had a local yarn ship in Pacifica. It is such a lovely little shop. A welcoming atmosphere and feeling to the shop (despite COVID) .The Gal in charge greeted us right away and was friendly, engaging and clearly knowledgeable. She offered my granddaughter some suggestions and advice with encouragement and excitement that definitely inspired her to get started. There are couches to hang out while doing your craft and a classroom however both spots are on hold until after COVID. read more

What a lovely store and owner! They have a huge selection of yarn - all colors, weights and sizes and hard-to-find tools and fibers. It's also good to know they are mindful of sourcing from ethical companies (in addition to the beautiful yarn they dye themselves). read more

I'm so excited that Royal Bee finally opened! Despite knowing many fellow knitters, I've always been surprised by how few knitting shops are within driving distance of my house. I was here on opening day and was thrilled by the gorgeous selection and all the fun accessories -- I ended up buying some yarn I didn't even need for a new project (pictured) even though I haven't finished my last one! I'm really excited that they're going to be hosting knitting groups and other classes, too. read more

I was killing some time in Daly City and googled LYS and The Royal Bee Yarn Company popped up. I decided to visit and was so glad I did. They had a wonderful selection of natural fibers and lots of notions. The staff was helpful but left me alone to discover all the goodies which I love. I didn't buy any yarn on this trip (my biggest regret) but I did buy a pair of steel/iron scissors, coco knit stitch marker flight, and measuring tapes. But the best-kept secret is the sanctuary in the back. You walk past the register and there is a backyard with umbrellas, tables, and nature. What more could a girl ask for? I quickly sat down and pulled out my WIP and completed a few rows while listening to a local knitting group chat and making new friends with the cutest puppy. (Bernese Mountain Dog, I think?) The 15 minutes I sat there knitting, listening to knitting ladies and hummingbirds were the best way to recharge. I will definitely visit again as it was just the best vibe. read more

GREAT staff, warm, friendly and welcoming shop! If I lived closer, I'd definitely be there for knitting with like-minded people!

Love this store!! I have been to my share of yarn/knitting stores and I have to say it was the most welcoming store ever! The ladies that were working on a Saturday last week were amazing! They made us feel welcome, really were trying to talk my sisters into learning and the prices were not bad at all. Some knitting stores are so unwelcoming and you have to be in the "in crowd" or they make you feel like you don't belong. Well not here! They inspired me so much I'm on my 2nd knotted beanie this week! I will be back and I wish I had them in my town! Pacifica you are lucky!! read more

As an LGBT person and Veteran with PTSD I am often hesitant to go to shops I that I am concerned might be unwelcoming to folks with non-standard views. This place was SO warm and fuzzy in all the right ways!!! I hardly ever write reviews but this shop warrants it. So worth the trip! While I was there I received help from the owner, another worker and a lady just there for camaraderie while working on her project. I am brand new to crocheting and wanted to get some yarn but wound up getting a beginner lesson in the process. SO helpful. I will be back soon! read more

The ladies that run this fabulous yarn shop are just spectacular. They are super knowledgeable, kind, and funny. They have a great selection and all my favorite brands. They will help you with just about anything, find a yarn, find a project, pull up something on ravelry, find a fix. You name it. Plus they have an open door, free stitch session on the couch any time they are open. What a great spot to have in our coastal town. read more

This place is gem and it's decorated so cutely. I'm glad they opened up a shop like this in Pacifica with easy parking.

This is my local yarn shop, and I'm in love. Kelley, the owner is a doll. She's very accommodating, patient, resourceful, and just lovely overall. Love the selection of yarn, but I gotta be honest, I love the royal bee brand yarn most of all. Beautiful quality, texture, and colors. Can't recommend more! read more

Wonderful new yarn shop!! I had the privilege of being their very first customer!! Kelly and Tony are great people. The shop is warm and welcoming. You just have to love a purple couch! Go in and sit down to practice your chosen craft. Wonderful location with lots of good eats around too. read more

Royal Bee Yarn Shop - I was the very first customer!! - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Pacifica, California

Great shop. My mother spins her own yarn, so I have been around knitters a huge chunk of my life - but it was my own daughter that inspired us to stop in. She loves to knit. I have been to alot of knitting stores, this one is impressive for the size of the teaching space, the quality of the products, the friendliness of the staff and the relative low cost of the materials (for the actual high quality they offer.) I was surprised to learn they do birthday parties, and thrilled to see that they offer sewing classes. (sewing is my craft of choice)... I have a feeling we will be frequent visitors....... read more

A charming and thoughtful yarn craft shop. In addition to a beautiful basic palette of initial yarn offerings, they have a really good selection of needles and notions and even a little bit of pretty Michael Miller fabric. I brought my toddler and she loved it too ("Nice cushy purple couch... comfy!"). Everyone we met was sweet, friendly, and informed. read more

I loved this yarn and craft shop! The owner, Kelley, is really friendly and approachable. She introduced herself to me and asked my opinion on the current stock and if there was anything else I would like to see them carry in the shop. They have an amazing variety of yarns, needles and notions but I also loved the unique gift items. I walked out with the most adorable needle felted pin cushion ring and a couple of cute iron-on patches. I can't wait to go back for fabric. They have several vintage-inspired prints I haven't seen anywhere else. read more

So happy to have a friendly well stocked yarn store close to home. The owner and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I stop in there is an eclectic group of people working on projects. Great addition to Pacifica! read more

This is such a cute local yarn shop! The yarn is so nice and soft that it was hard not to pet them all. This is not your regular Micheal's yarn! I like the layout and the style of the place. You can tell the owner, Kelley, put a lot of thought into it. Kelley is such a sweetheart! Everyone at the shop is so friendly and helpful. I know this is a yarn and sewing shop, but you should definitely check out their card selection. They have hilarious birthday cards! read more

I love this new yarn shop. The owners are friendly and helpful. Their inventory is spectacular. So happy to have a wonderful shop on the coast read more

What a gem of a place hidden in an outdoor mall in Pacifica. I live in San Mateo but very easy to get to taking 280. The owner, Kelly, was super nice and helpful. And there's plenty of beautiful yarn to inspire!!! I am new to weaving and there are gorgeous colors and various yarns to choose from. Kelly has a loyalty program that can quickly build up points toward discounts - now that's a nice touch. The store has a welcoming homelike environment with plush seating. She even serves tea and coffee!! So grateful I visited and definitely will keep on returning! read more

Love this shop! The Royal Bee is a new gem for Pacifica. Walking in and seeing all of the beautiful colored yarn is a treat to the eyes. I bought some adorable felting kits for the kids to keep busy on a road trip and they loved them. There is something for everyone here, hand crafted jewelry and "new" vintage style clothing by Bubbles and Dot. Along with all kinds of amazing yarns, fun fabrics and notions. If you haven't been yet, you need to check it out and support our local independent yarn shop. Kelly and Heather are amazing! read more

This is the yarn store the Bay Area has been missing! A good selection of luxury yarns at decent prices, but best of all, they've created a wonderful space for knitters to come together as a community. People are always sitting and knitting together. I've only been here three or four times, but each time I come I see people I've met before, and I meet new people. Everyone is so welcoming and warm and helpful! It's such a cozy place to be and I'm so glad I found it! I'm quickly going to become a regular, even though I live on the Peninsula. It's worth the drive. The only thing is I wish they had a larger selection, but I'm sure they will grow as more people discover them! read more

This isn't just a yarn store -- it's a warm, welcoming hub of fiber goodness! Kelley is so generous and wonderful, and she's built a rare community around her glorious store, which is filled with the high quality, ethically sourced yarns. If you go, plan to stay awhile! ;) read more

A Pacifica-residing pal took me into this store today, and she had a VERY hard time getting me back out of it. I would like to live there! For starters, Kelley, the owner, is perhaps one of the sweetest, warmest, most engaging and real business owners on the planet. And her store's selection is AMAZING: all sorts of top-notch yarns, needles and hooks, embroidery needles (happy surprise in a yarn store!), and even needlework kits for kids. THE best yarn store I've experienced in like forever! Oh, and Kelley showed us how to work the coffee/tea machine, in case we wanted to hang out. :-) read more

Beautiful selection of yarns, and cute material for sewing. Such wonderful customer service and super friendly. I love love love the purple couch and can't wait for the classes to start. So glad to have such an amazing place in Pacifica. We needed this! read more

Run don't walk to this AMAZING LYS! The store is so cozy and the people are fantastic. I went in for yarn for a baby blanket and was assisted by Judy and she went above and beyond any expectations I had for help. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Not only did she help me pick out the most gorgeous color palette for a baby blanket, but she also helped me pick a pattern AND offered some fantastic advice for fixing up a sweater I'd knit a few months back but didn't quite like the fit of. And when she wasn't 100% sure about something, she asked another knitter more familiar with the kind of sweater I'd knit. Overall, I am so so so (insert 1000 more so's) happy I came in. Also, I find that most yarn stores smell a bit musty, but not Royal Bee! It's so lightly fragranced, you don't even notice until you walk back outside but it just adds to cozy inviting vibe they have. If you're anywhere near the area, this is a must go for all yarn enthusiasts. read more

Staff are very helpful and go out of the way to help you. They are very friendly and appear to really like working there. The store offers knitting and crocheting classes. There are samples made from the yarns they carry. read more

This is a very nice shop, with good quality yarns, a big selection of needles, and accessories. The owner was friendly and helpful but not overbearing. There is a great couch and a couple of comfy chairs, plus reading material for guests. We also were offered coffee or tea. A really nice shop! read more

I'm so excited that there's finally a yarn store in Pacifica! I've been to The Royal Bee twice already, and brought home some beautiful yarn each time. The people are friendly, prices are reasonable, and the store itself is adorable. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

I'm so happy The Royal Bee has opened and the folks there are so kind and friendly. I made the drive as a friend of a friend told me it was opening and as a yarn junkie, I had to check it out. The owners told me they want their shop to be a community space for knitters and crocheters to hang out and it's the perfect place to do so. Wish I was closer. Gorgeous selection, reasonable prices, and super friendly. I'm a kid in a candy store!!! read more
