The Shop on Blossom Street
The Shop on Blossom Street, published in 2004, opens Debbie Macomber's series by introducing Lydia Hoffman, a cancer survivor who opens the Seattle knitting shop A Good Yarn -- the connective thread that runs, sometimes closely and sometimes loosely, through every book that follows.

About the Blossom Street series
Blossom Street follows the customers and owners of A Good Yarn, a Seattle knitting shop opened by cancer survivor Lydia Hoffman as a place where a rotating cast of women -- and eventually men -- gather for knitting classes and end up sharing far more than pattern advice. Each book centers a new class or circle of characters working through the kind of ordinary, weighty life events Debbie Macomber specializes in: cancer recovery, divorce, widowhood, infertility, second chances at love, while Lydia's own shop, marriage, and health struggles continue in the background across the series.
Macomber, an avid knitter herself, uses the shop as connective tissue rather than a strict single-storyline device -- some books follow entirely new customers with only glancing references to Lydia, while others return deeply to her own arc. The device let the series run for over a decade, expanding into companion cookbook and pattern tie-ins that capitalized on its crossover appeal to real-life knitting and craft communities alongside traditional women's-fiction readers.
As with Macomber's other Seattle-area series, the tone blends unhurried, cozy small-business atmosphere with genuinely difficult subject matter handled gently -- Blossom Street readers describe it as comfort reading that doesn't shy away from grief, illness, or hard family history.
