Parties • Dates • Groups • Solo Time
We’re open for tufting over the Holidays!
We will still be available from 9am - 9pm for bookings made at least 6 hours in advance from December 20th to 30th. However, we will not be open for walk-ins or have our storefront open on these days.
We will be completely closed and unavailable for any bookings on the afternoon of December 24th (but we’re open in the morning!), and closed for the whole day on December 25th, 31st, and Jan 1st.
Create something unforgettable*–no experience required.
If you're wondering what tufting is (totally normal - most people have no idea!), here's the simple version: You use a tufting gun to punch colorful yarn through fabric, creating custom rugs, wall art, coasters, or anything you can imagine. It's kind of like coloring, but with yarn... and WAY more satisfying.
The best part? You don't need any experience. Seriously - none. We've taught hundreds of total beginners, and they all walk out proud of what they made.

“I’ve made about 3 or 4 rugs now. I'm excited about my next piece. I'm going to add some glass fused artwork to it. I've also invited about 8 different people to come tuft. As a member, my guests get 20% off and I get a free small frame for every 5 people I bring in! It's a pretty good deal.”

“You might think tufting is just for ‘crafty people.’ That is not the case. Anyone can do it. It's been really fun to see so many different people come in and strike up conversations that they maybe normally wouldn't be having anywhere else.”

Our tufters leave feeling:
Satisfied
Working with your hands is therapeutic—tufting is meditation in motion. Creativity is neurologically proven to activate the right brain, release stress, and improve mental health.
Connected
Conversation flows naturally here. People of all backgrounds and skill levels create, connect, and meet others they might never cross paths with anywhere else.
Inspired
This is a safe place to try something new. We offer quality tools, materials, ideas, and encouragement—everything you need to feel supported and inspired.
Refreshed
No rush and no pressure—create at your own pace in a calm, supportive space. If it’s been years since you made art, this is your chance to rediscover your creativity.

Common Thread is more than a tufting studio—it's a sanctuary for makers.
It’s not right that being creative has become a solo sport. You shouldn’t have to purchase all of your own equipment. You deserve a place to try a new hobby and make it your own, without it becoming your entire personality or requiring you to renovate a whole room in your house.
Instead, let’s save money and dream big by sharing tools, space, and ideas.
Whether you're seeking a new hobby, a mindful escape from daily stress, or a place to express your artistic vision, you'll find it here.
Come for the tufting. Stay for the community. Leave with something beautiful—in your rug and in your soul.
