Our Founder

Amberley Schmidt is the proud owner of Panama City Yarn Co, a cozy local yarn store nestled in Turtle Girls Market in Panama City Beach. A loving mom of two and wife to a supportive husband, Amberley has been crocheting for more than two decades and recently discovered a new passion for knitting. Her lifelong love of crafts inspired her to create a space where creativity and community can come together.

When she’s not running the shop, Amberley is teaching Middle School English right here in Panama City, sharing her love of learning with the next generation. Yarn dyeing has become one of her favorite creative outlets, often blending her passion for books and music into unique, story-driven colorways.

Through Panama City Yarn Co, Amberley hopes to provide inspiration, high-quality materials, and a welcoming space for crafters of all levels to connect and create.
