What kinds of things do you carry?
We
search out unique and hard to find yarns and tools for our knit and
crochet community. We specialize in indie and US made companies
(Brooklyn Tweed, Harrisville Designs, Spincycle, Stonehedge Fiber Mill
and Jill Draper Makes Stuff, for example) and are most known for our
amazing selection of hand dyed yarns. Here are a few: Neighborhood Fiber
Co., Miss Babs, The Lemonade Shop, Freia Handpaints and Hazel Knits. We’ve also got some interesting imports that you might not see anywhere
else: Di Gilpin, De Rerum Natura and a variety of notions
and accessories from too!
How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
My
teaching business, Knit-a-Gogo, Inc was started in 2006. The retail
shop grew out of that business (after a lot of begging and pleading by
my students!). We opened our doors in July 2009.
What's your favorite thing about having your business?
I
love being inspired by my customer’s creativity. Every day, someone
points out a new great pattern that they found or puts together two
colors that I would never have thought of putting together. I really
have the greatest job in the world.
