Knitters turn to yarn for myriad things:

a source of inspiration, as a creative outlet, to satisfy a need to buy something new, to celebrate, and to be comforted. We flock to yarn shops to feel sheltered from the harsh realities of life, connect with others who speak our language and to gain inspiration. We pick up our yarn and needles and create something new, imbuing each stitch with a small piece of ourselves.

​

To hold something small and beautiful in one’s hands is to experience a bit of peace while the world whooshes by around you. The soft fibers, multifaceted colors, and sometimes even the fragrance of a beautiful yarn can transport you to a place of peace, if even just for a moment.
