About The Planet

Crafty Planet is an independent retailer who prides itself with a do-it-yourself ethos, bringing you the coolest craft stuff in the galaxy! Much to our dismay no one in the Twin Cities carried stuff like Sublime Stitching, or over a hundred bolts of super cool reproduction--and not so reproduction-fabrics, so we thought "What the heck" and decided to open a shop ourselves!

In addition we carry super cool handcrafted items by local crafters, a growing (and growing and growing) knitting section, handy books, a great kids crafty kits section, sewing machine rentals, private parties and so much more, not to mention an abundance of classes with the best-est, friendliest instructors around. So stop by and explore the Planet sometime!
