The Knit Knack Shop is a mom & pop business with supplies and helpful information for knitting. Although they cater to machine knitters, It's where I get my yarn to make all of my crochet & hand knitted baby blankets I give as gifts. These baby blankets are always well loved as they are super soft for babies. I normally use 1 end Cotton Tale 8 (100% Cotton) & 1 end Micro Tamm (100% Microfiber Acrylic). They are perfect together. The cotton shrinks a bit when it's washed, and the microfiber gets very soft. Since the cotton shrinks a little, it makes for a nice solid blanket without holes (unless you make it lace). Sometimes I will use Bebe if I'm looking for a different color than is available in Micro Tamm. But most of my gifts are in white; sometimes other colors. They all machine wash & dry really well, and they are stain resistant in my experience. Sometimes I crochet & sometimes I knit the baby blankets. The best is that I only need to get 1 cone of each to make a baby blanket - that means I don't have to weaving in millions of ends! Just 1 at the beginning & 1 at the end. I just love that. I definitely recommend using this yarn for crochet & hand knitting. Full disclosure... My parents own this business. BUT I have to say of all the yarn I've tried for baby blankets, it's still the yarn I choose to purchase! And everyone who is has gotten one of my baby blankets comments on the quality and hand feel of the yarn over & over. read more

Meet the Business Owner: Charlene S.

Charlene Shafer, purchase her first knitting machine January 1969. Now a veteran shop owner, Charlene is a perfect example of a hobby knitter turned pro, who can no boast of a business over 30 years old. "I had knitting machines since before I had children," Charlene says. "I was a farm wife who waited at home for my husband to send me off to get a part for some piece of equipment. I knit because I loved it and when the opportunity came to buy the very shop from which I purchased my first machine, well, there really wasn't a question of whether I should turn my hobby into my business."In truth, Charlene probably had enough "extra" yarn at home to restock the shelves of her newly acquired business, but what serious knitter doesn't? What she brought to the business besides her love of knitting was a close connection with friends and neighbors of her rural community, plus a strong family tie.
