Beautiful hand dyed spinning fiber in an array of fibers. A number of luxurious yarn types, such as cashgora. Carries Peace Fleece, Harrisville Tweed, among other things.

Great vibe here, and Casey was so patient and helpful with my questions and yarn selections. She carries beautiful yarn, fiber, and also rents & sells spinning wheels! And, she offers all kinds of fiber related classes from knitting, crochet, spinning, felting, etc! I highly recommend 👌 stopping by!

Wow - where to start...I had so many questions and Casey was so accomodating and down to earth. Loved connecting with her and enjoyed her story about the Cashgora yarns she carries. Such a beautiful yarn with a rich origin...please consider picking some up if you can! She helped me choose a couple of patterns and even added them to my Ravelry library and printed them for me. Can't wait to get back when I have time to explore some more. Her yarn, fiber, and notion stock is impressive AND she sells and rents spinning wheels in addition to teaching classes. Can't say enough great things about PortFiber - wish she would open one closer to Boston!

An amazing shop with materials for every type of fiber related project and cute complete felted creatures are available. Casey is a fun, creative leader bringing groups of all craft disciplines together. Just one visit will make your day special! 🙏🤓

As an avid knitter for many years, I've been to my fair share of yarn stores. This one was fantastic, and Casey was warm and welcoming and super informative not just about fiber but also about Portland and the local scene here. I definitely got the sense that every person of every background was welcome, and I want to add a special note for those LGBTQ crafters out there: you are 100% welcome at the shop. Having visited in February 2020, I was there right before everything locked down. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Portland from Houston, and I will most definitely return. Highly recommended.

I am a fiber artist who makes a lot of dryer balls. One of my farms gave me a lot of roving that, although it had been cleaned, had not been carded. A friend recommended I call Portland Fiber to see if I could get some idea of what to do with my roving to get it where I could use it. Casey is fantastic and the shop is a fiber artist's heaven. For a nominal fee, I am able to use the drum carder to card the roving I have. The staff is so nice and helpful and the amount of fiber is amazing.

Great quality and a huge variety of wool and other fibers. There are ktis for beginners/to give as gifts, plus all the tools you could need for spinning and felting. Love going here!

I have followed the shop for years on instagram. Since I was in Portland for business, I decided to see the place in real life. There is a great selection of unique blends of hand dyed fiber. They also have a great selection of cashmere yarn. And of course, an amazing yarn store dog!

I decided to check out this shop after seeing a few Facebook posts that interested me. Left today with some wool roving and a rented spinning wheel to try my hand at spinning and found some other great little additions like stickers and pins to give to friends. This shop offers several locally sourced fibers and a vast array of knowledge. Absolutely a repeat customer.

PortFiber is an inspiring, welcoming shop and the owner is an outstanding human. I'm barely crafty and I still want to make All The Things when I go in here. And with the help of Casey or another instructor or class, I bet I even could! Gorgeous materials. Highest recommendation!

If you want to learn to spin fiber on a wheel, this is the class. Highly skilled instruction in a very low stress environment. Great tips about common issues. Thanks Casey!!

Casey is a ray of sunshine and a wealth of knowledge. took her spinning 101 class im so hooked she did and amazing job teaching. i later bout a drop spindle from the shop to be able to keep spinning and plan to purchase my wheel as soon as the budget allows. i would recommend port fiber and Casey very highly there is only 5 stars or i would give her more for sure.

I was in the market for my first drum carder and Casey went above and beyond. I had a million questions and I left with all of them answered and a new drum carder!!! I am beyond grateful and excited to start my new fiber journey! Don’t hesitate to come here, they have pretty much anything you can think of and if they don’t have it I’m sure they can order it for you.

I've been going to PortFiber every week, you guys. You know why? Because Casey rents spinning wheels and I'm on track to try all of them! This is a weird (quarantine-y) time for all shop owners, but Casey's got it dialed in. She and her giant pooch allow 5 people in at a time - with masks please - and the hardest part is not touching everything in the place. So. Much. Fiber. And it's all so soft and beautiful.... I'll be back next week! 😉

PortFiber is a wonderful shop to stop in for any yarn needs, hooks, needles, and even has supplies for needle felting! Plus it's always a treat to see Jackson, the dog (:

Love fiber arts? Want to learn more? Port Fiber is a store, a gallery , a classroom. From spindles to looms to needle felting kits to multi-day classes, there's a little (or a lot) of something for everyone!

A delight and a favorite. One of the only yarn stores around that is focused on weaving, felting, and spinning rather than knitting and crocheting.

I wanted to start needle felting as a brand new hobby! A friend of mine needle felts and she recommended this place to me. I'm not one to normally ask for help, but I had to since I had no idea where to start. They were great help! I believe it was ashley that helped me. It was a few days ago, so I'm not completely sure. Thanks for being such great help!

Such a friendly place. Lovely fiber and yarn. My wallet was lighter when I left, but I got some gorgeous yarn.

Wonderful shop with so many options! The website doesn't do it justice. Check out the cashgora line when you are there. Friendly shop dog too.
