Welcome to The-Golden-Fleece on the west side of the square in beautiful downtown Holton, Kansas. Here you'll find supplies, classes, and individual instruction in weaving and knitting. The-Gloden-Fleece is not a full service yarn store. We are a weaving studio selling handmade items as well as teaching and offering demonstrations. We also offer a few weaving supplies and a few yarns. Please take time to look around our website and visit the store if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

A little about us:At the age of about 8, Paul learned to knit and crochet and continues to knit and crochet today. Along the way, he also picked up spinning, weaving, and dabbles in felting.
On January 31, 2015, The-Golden-Fleece opened as a full-service retail store and quickly became a popular gathering spot for fiber enthusiasts of all levels. Any afternoon of the week, fiber enthusiasts would gather and work on current projects, learning, and sharing, or just visiting. Our all-day Saturday event softened saw 15 or more enthusiasts enjoying the company of one another while working on projects and participating in a monthly pot-luck lunch. Paul taught all levels of knitting, crochet, weaving and beginning spinning. Toward the end of 2019, Paul decided to cut back and take things more relaxed. The-Golden-Fleece went from a 3,000 sq ft full-service store to a 1500 sq ft weaving studio. Today, The-Golden-Fleece operates primarily as a weaving studio while offering learning in a relaxed atmosphere. Paul often conducts weaving demonstrations and continues to teach weaving, knitting, and spinning. Check out our offering of fiber education opportunities and demonstrations by emailing the store or finding us on Facebook Messenger. **While The-Golden-Fleece has transformed into a weaving studio, there are still a few specialty yarns and various fiber arts supplies. |
