Chesley's story is a sensative story of womens support and understanding.

Teaming up with Soak has allowed them to maintain the quality of these breasts without causing irritation to the skin for those who wear them.
Soak is sold only in fine knitting stores or lingere stores.
The Knitting Experience is a charming knitting store and CAFE offering the latest yarns, a warm cozy environment and specialty teas, coffees and treats. The inviting atmosphere offers cozy seating to work on your projects and receive help and advice from friendly staff as well as visitors. In my visits to this shop I have found it hopping with customers and conversation that supports the knitting, spinning and dying community. Spunky eclectic yarns are also sold here discerning buyers. Be sure to experience The Knitting Experience if you are ever traveling in the Brunswick, Maine area. Truly a fine destination yarn store.
