Shopping in Malibu

Bead Your Addiction carries everything you need to create your own beaded jewelry, from semiprecious gemstones and freshwater pearls to a large assortment of charms and other supplies. Inside the shop, visitors can fine-tune their skills in more than a dozen classes, including basic bead stringing, basic wire wrapping, and traditional pearl knotting. Do-it-yourselfers can use those workspaces to piece together projects on their own. Day-to-day operations aside, Bead Your Addiction hosts parties as well as a children's creativity program.

The knitting instructors and enthusiasts at Anacapa Fine Yarns foster a welcoming, serene environment in which beginners and experts alike can further their skills and pick up supplies for their next project. A diverse offering of classes ranges from beginning knitting to more advanced classes such as Extreme Double Knitting, in which students craft a warm beanie, and Continental Converts, which teaches a quicker method for churning out scarves to stave off threats of snowman rebellion. Instruction takes place in a 1,900-square-foot classroom separate from the shop area, transforming on Thursday nights into an open workshop for anyone who'd like to work on a personal project alongside friends.
