They have a dye studio somewhere where they dye their own yarns. They also take requests for certain colors.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/finished-scarf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madeline Tosh yarns I have used<\/a>. I have a knitting project in process AND I have another project in the queue, so I restrained myself. I&#8217;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<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-63110 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20240629_104703_wm-sm-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240629_104703_wm-sm-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Knitted Wit: fabric wall\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-63280\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-63280'>\n\t\t\t\tKnitted Wit: fabric wall\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20240629_103801_wm-sm-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240629_103801_wm-sm-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Knitted Wit: charm packs and pre-cuts\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-63278\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-63278'>\n\t\t\t\tKnitted Wit: charm packs and pre-cuts\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>They didn&#8217;t have a lot of fabric, but it sounds like they are starting to add to their offerings.
