About Us

ōSHen Knits & Fibres is a charming little yarn shop located in the delightful port town of Astoria.

Before transforming into a yarn and craft shop, ōSHen Knits was founded in 2020 as a knitwear design company by Marine Biologist Vanessa Fleming. While spending time at sea, Vanessa discovered a passion for creating knitting patterns that could be customized not just for body size, but also for shape.

Vanessa's vibrant love for colors shone through in her designs. In 2022, she embarked on her yarn dyeing adventure to complement her knitwear creations.

In the summer of 2024, Vanessa took over the space at the corner of 12th and Duane, where she and an amazing team of people have created a stunning ocean-themed yarn and craft shop, serving as a vital community hub for people to learn and engage in fiber arts.

Since the Grand Opening on October 5th, 2024, ōSHen Knits & Fibres has been filled with so much love and community. Come say hi to the team, Daisy, Jaz, or Piper, or support us from afar!
