About Us
Founded in 2003 in East Lansing, Woven Art started as a space featuring hand-dyed yarn, a weaving studio, and a contemporary Fiber Art Gallery. In 2013, Meg Larned Croft purchased the shop and expanded its offerings as Woven Art Yarn Shop. In 2019 the shop nearly doubled in size.
August 2026 - we are MOVING to our new location at 2504 E Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912 and the shop is currently closed. We hope to reopen in our new location by the end of August.
Woven Art Yarn Shop is an inclusive and supportive space that welcomes all makers. We work with people and companies who are doing good in the world, and do our best to support small businesses and independent artists whenever possible.
MEG LARNED CROFT, OWNER
Meg started her wool journey at the age of 9 when she learned how to knit. Over the years she has picked up crochet, spinning, felting, and weaving. Her passion is to collaborate with knitters, crocheters, spinners and weavers to help them grow and embrace new skills. Her likes: wool, ambient music, linen, riding her bike, rare sheep breeds, cheese, history of knitting, natural dyeing, wool festivals, snow shoeing, walking through the woods and curious people. Meg has a background in Art History - a MA in Islamic and Medieval Art History from NYU's Institute of Fine Art - and worked in Contemporary Art in New York City, and as a Gallery Director at a non-profit printmaking training program in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she honed her curatorial eye. Meg has been living in Mid-Michigan since 2007.
