Testimonials

Knitwits is so more than a yarn shop. It’s your local yarn experts, cheerleaders and textile arts community. Every time I’ve been in I witness the staff going above and beyond to serve and educate customers. They ask about your projects and lend advice and encouragement. Yesterday the question “should I learn to knit or crochet?” came from a customer and the staff answered it so thoroughly and without any sense of hesitation or urgency. Every customer gets this standard of care and attention. Yes, they have an awesome selection of yarn and every nicknack you could need, but they also have the expertise to guide you to the right supplies for your project and in a world that seems like it’s moving too fast, they slow down and do it right.

This is a wonderful gem of a shop with great selections and displays, as well as very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I purchased yarn and 2 patterns, and it was refreshing to actually leave with my patterns in hand.
I’ll return for sure!!

Very welcoming, cozy yarn shop with a big selection of quality yarns. They helped me pick out yarn for my next project, patiently walking me through the shop explaining the yarn options and even looked my pattern up on ravelry to help me pick just the right yarn. So impressed with their knowledge and kindness. They have a sit and knit table, so you can tell they care about fostering their knitting community. Love them! ❤️

Amber J.

A great store with wonderful staff and lovely selection of yarns. I love that they had so many local yarns, it made for a great souvenir experience. I didn't grab enough yarn for my project, so I placed an order online. They were fast with shipping and were able to match my dye lot request. Definitely worth checking out.
