It's A Great Story
If you're like us, you find sentimentality all around you. When it comes to knitting, our yarn, our needles, and even our snail-shaped measuring tape—each has its own unique story. When we finish a project, it's not just a piece of knitting; it's a narrative woven from the threads of our experiences, passions, and dreams.

The Dream Was Tucked Away....
For over thirty years, we’ve held and nurtured a deep-seated love for knitting, inspired by memories of visiting Auntie Joanie’s amazing shop,What’s Needling You, which she owned inFort Collins, Colorado. Opening a shop of our own has been a dream for many years, and we’re thrilled to now see our dream come true! We find joy in knitting—in learning, in finding new yarn that inspires us, in completing a project, and in building relationships with other knitters. Too, our journey has often been filled with laughter, most recently thanks to our playful dogs who can't resist the lure of yarn. Their favorite game? A spirited contest to see who can snatch the yarn first when no one’s looking. Tucker, the more agile of the two, often wins and is known for dashing around the house with my skein and work in progress, leaving a trail of colorful yarn in his wake! This spirit inspired the name of our shop:
Knit Tuck & Purl.
