Barbara and Richard Fabian outside the shop by the poll that got "yarn bombed". Sit-n-Knit is located 55 Wintonbury Mall in Bloomfield, CT 06002 phone 860-232-YARN.
A very fulfilling yarn shop with helpful staff, loads or yarn, up to date goings on - when you visit sit N Knit you realize that others share your passion and your passion for knitting grows. Barbara and her staff are very "plugged in" to what is going on in the industry. I always learn new things whenever I visit! I know you will.
I was familiar with "yarn Bombing" and had seen many instances on the web but this was a great treat to see one at one of my local yarn stores. You can find out more about yarn bombing by googling and on Wikipedia - now that gives it validity! I also have a great link to a trailer that tickles me from Marfa Texas
Be Sweet yarn in the yarn bombing!
Many yarns are represented on the pole that are featured in the shop. Be Sweet mohair and the "magic ball" are seen in this close-up.
Other yarns that can be found at Sit-n-knit are pictured below.
