Make something in San Francisco.

Simple Thread is a hands-on craft studio at 870 Harrison Street in SoMa. Come for rug tufting or perler beads, with materials and guidance included.

The San Francisco studio with tall windows, exposed ceiling pipes, tufting frames and a wall of yarn
A bright space to spend an afternoon.

Two ways to make it yours

Rug tufting turns your chosen design into a rug or wall piece using yarn and a tufting gun. Perler beads let you build a pixel-art design, bead by bead.

Come on your own, make something alongside a date or friend, or plan a team or private group workshop. No experience is needed.

Check appointment dates and times before you travel. Tufting usually takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on the frame and design. Perler is paid by the time you use at the studio; your rough duration is optional when booking.

For entrance or access needs, children’s participation, or a particular day or group arrangement, contact the SF studio before reserving.
