This great shop was in a weird location. The ‘mall’ where it is found includes a transmission repair service and some kind of delivery service that uses bike jitneys. To say it is an industrial location would be accurate.
We were told that they started out with knitting. They have a dye studio somewhere where they dye their own yarns. They also take requests for certain colors.
I kind of wanted to buy some yarn at Knitted Wit. The colors and feel of the yarn was super tempting. It was all so beautiful. It reminded me of the Madeline Tosh yarns I have used. I have a knitting project in process AND I have another project in the queue, so I restrained myself. I’ll be up here again, so I can always go back. I plan to work on a scarf next time I have need of an ongoing hand project. The day I visited was not that day, so I may visit this shop again. ;0
They didn’t have a lot of fabric, but it sounds like they are starting to add to their offerings. Their main line was Ruby Star. They had a lot of charm packs and pre-cuts. We went there on a warm day, thus the fans.
A lot of the shops in the area had patterned tea towel fabric. I saw many of the same designs, especially a kind of scary pumpkin pattern for Halloween.
I saw the chicken print multiple times. I wish now that I had looked at the manufacturer just for context. The Christmas tree design at the top is fun. I like the 1950s (vintage?) feel.
One of the things I found very interesting was the free table. They had a lot of different items available. Amanda tried on and picked up a sweater!
They had a good selection of notions. Most of what I bought were notions and gifts. I thought those mini Hera markers were so cute!
