About

Welcome to Fancy Tiger Crafts Cooperative, your haven for all things textile and fiber-related. We are more than just a retail craft supply store – we're a worker-owned cooperative, fueled by passion, creativity, and a shared commitment to our craft-loving community. 

By crafters, for crafters
Every member of our cooperative is not just an employee; they are sewists, knitters and fiber artists. The co-op structure allows us to offer progressive wages and benefits to all employees. When you support us, you're not just buying supplies – you're investing in a collective dream of fostering creativity and supporting local micro-communities. Wander through our shop (or browse our website) and you'll discover a curated selection of yarn, fabric, fiber, kits and notions, handpicked by our passionate team. We stock supplies for a diverse range of textile crafts that caters to both seasoned crafters and those just beginning their creative journey. Fancy Tiger Crafts is committed to a greener world. We actively seek out eco-friendly and  sustainable products, ensuring that your crafting doesn't just bring joy to you but leaves a lighter footprint on our planet.

a view of the outside of the shop, Fancy Tiger Crafts Cooperative. The shop is in a historic brick building, and stands out in a joyful bright mint green. Gold leaf lettering in the upper windows shows the name of the shop, "FANCY TIGER CRAFTS", and the street level windows say "100% Worker-Owned Cooperative" and "Fabric, Yarn, Classes, Notions" in classic hand-painted lettering reminiscent of vintage shop fronts.

Community First
We believe in the power of community. Crafting isn't just about materials; it's about connections. Join us for workshops, events, and crafting circles that bring people together, sharing skills and building lasting friendships.

We host an open community Craft Night every Tuesday from 5 - 8pm and we'd love to meet you! Bring your project and knit, spin, crochet, or embroider with us. If you're ever in the neighborhood, please visit us and say hi! 

At a community craft night, crafters sit around a table with their projects, sharing stories, snacks, and libations.

Why Support Us?
When you choose Fancy Tiger Crafts, you're not just making a purchase – you're supporting a vision of a vibrant, thriving community. Your support goes directly to the hands of fellow crafters who are dedicated to making your crafting experience exceptional.

The History of Fancy Tiger Crafts
Fancy Tiger opened on June 16th, 2006 at 1 S. Broadway in Denver, the brain child of Jaime Jennings and Amber Corcoran. The tiny original location paved the way for the revitalization of the Broadway shopping district. In 2012, Fancy Tiger Crafts renovated a larger location just up Broadway from the original shop. In 2014, the online store debuted to share the love and inspiration to the world beyond Denver. In November of  2021 Fancy Tiger Crafts transitioned to an Employee-Owned Co-op, the culmination of 18 months of hard work between the original owners and the new worker-owners. Jaime and Amber have stepped down as business owners, but they remain as advisors on the Co-op's Board of Directors. In February of 2024 the Cooperative moved to the current location at 3421 S Broadway in Englewood, Colorado.
