Conroe Yarn Shop The Modern Skein Closing

Conroe, TX – The Modern Skein, a beloved local yarn and fiber art supply shop in Conroe, has announced it will permanently close its doors on February 29, 2026. Owner Ashley Blaylock cited “personal reasons” for the difficult decision to shut down the business, which has served the area’s crafting community since June 2022.

Located at 2309 N. Loop 336 W., Ste. B, The Modern Skein quickly became a cherished hub for knitters, crocheters, weavers, and other fiber artists. Known for its curated selection of high-quality yarns, unique indie dyeworks, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere, the shop offered not just supplies but also a place for connection and creative inspiration.

“This was an incredibly difficult decision, and it comes with a heavy heart,” Blaylock shared in a statement to customers. “While personal circumstances necessitate this change, I am immensely grateful for the incredible community that has grown around The Modern Skein. Your passion, creativity, and unwavering support have made these past few years truly special.”

To help clear inventory before the final closing date, The Modern Skein will host a liquidation sale throughout February 2026, offering discounts of up to 50% off on merchandise. Shoppers looking to stock up on their favorite fibers, tools, patterns, and accessories are encouraged to visit early for the best selection.

The closure marks the end of a relatively short but impactful run for the small business. In less than four years, The Modern Skein cultivated a loyal customer base and fostered a vibrant local crafting scene through workshops, knit nights, and its welcoming retail space.

“It’s truly a loss for our crafting community,” said Sarah Jenkins, a Conroe resident and frequent customer of The Modern Skein. “Ashley created such a warm, inspiring space. It wasn’t just a place to buy yarn; it was where we shared projects, learned new skills, and found camaraderie. I’ll particularly miss the unique selection of indie yarns that were hard to find elsewhere.”

The Conroe area has seen several small businesses adapt and evolve in recent years, and the departure of a niche shop like The Modern Skein highlights the challenges and dedication required to sustain such endeavors.

“Small businesses are the heartbeat of our local economy and community spirit,” stated a spokesperson for the Conroe Chamber of Commerce. “While we’re sad to see The Modern Skein close, we commend Ashley Blaylock for her contribution to Conroe’s entrepreneurial landscape and wish her the very best in her future endeavors.”

Customers are encouraged to visit The Modern Skein in February 2026 to take advantage of the liquidation sale and offer their well wishes to Ashley Blaylock before the store’s final day. Details on specific sale hours and any updates can be found on the store’s social media channels, typically accessible via Facebook and Instagram.
