KnitWit Yarn Shop
247A Congress Street
Portland, ME
I know, right?? For all you fiber lovers out there, perhaps no words are needed to accompany these photographs. For these are the sights to be found at KnitWit, my local yarn shop. It's here that much of my yarn comes from, and here that I go to browse for inspiration and fun of the fiber kind. Inside these doors, one can find the ever-helpful and knowledgeable shop owner Anna, surrounded by her wonderful taste in yarn - I don't think there's a skein in there I wouldn't knit with. She has nearly all of my favorites - both global as well as the best of the local fiber companies - Peace Fleece, The Fibre Company, Jil Eaton and now....Quince & Co! Freshly launched (just yesterday!), Quince is now up and running with sales online, but as for in-store locations, right now KnitWit is where it's at - exclusively. (I've been quite happily doing a little bit of knitting with it this past week, and will share my results and thoughts here very soon.)
Three cheers for fabulous and local yarn stores!
