Finding Your New Yarn Home: No.3 Royston Welcomes Cambridge Crafters

If you're a crafter based in Cambridge or the surrounding villages, you might be looking for a new place to browse beautiful yarns, pick up supplies, and connect with a community of fellow makers. We'd love to introduce ourselves — and we think you might just love what you find here.

No.3 Royston is an independent yarn and craft shop nestled in the heart of Royston, Hertfordshire, at 3 Melbourn Street, SG8 7BP. We're open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–4pm, and we'd love to see you.

Closer Than You Think — Easy to Reach from Cambridge

Royston is just 15 miles south of Cambridge, making it a very easy trip whether you're driving or hopping on the train. Royston has its own train station with regular direct services from Cambridge — it's often just a 15–20 minute journey. A lovely little outing for a crafter's day trip!

A Yarn Range to Get Excited About

We stock a carefully chosen selection of yarns to suit every project, budget, and skill level. Our shelves are filled with much-loved brands including:

• Stylecraft — brilliant value, beautiful colours, and a firm favourite for blankets, garments, and accessories
• Rico — gorgeous quality with a huge range of weights and fibres
• James C Brett — fantastic for textured and chunky knits
• Woolcraft — classic, reliable, and wonderfully affordable
• Cygnet — great for everything from baby knits to bold colourwork

With over 100 products in store, there's always something new to discover — and we're always happy to help you find exactly the right yarn for your project.

More Than Just a Shop — A Crafting Community

What makes No.3 Royston special isn't just what's on the shelves — it's the people and the warmth you'll find when you walk through the door.

Workshops for Every Level

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, we run a range of workshops throughout the year, including:

• Crochet 1-2-1 sessions — perfect if you want personalised guidance at your own pace
• Beginners' crochet workshops — a friendly, relaxed introduction to the craft
• Kids' workshops — because it's never too early to fall in love with making things!

Royston Craft Fair

We've been running the Royston Craft Fair for 12 years now — a wonderful celebration of local makers and creativity. It's a great place to find handmade gifts, get inspired, and meet fellow crafters.

Royston Yarn Bombers

We're also home to the Royston Yarn Bombers — our brilliant community group who bring colour and creativity to the town. If you fancy getting involved, we'd love to hear from you!

Personal Service, Every Time

One of the things our customers tell us they love most is the personal, knowledgeable advice they get in store. Laura and the team genuinely love yarn and crafting — so whether you need help choosing the right weight, substituting a yarn, or decoding a tricky pattern, we're here to help. No question is too small.

This is the kind of shopping experience that's hard to find online — and we think it's worth the trip.
