Other Goodies

My Sister Knits carries beautiful yarn; that goes without saying.  However, it’s fun to take a self-guided tour of the shop to see what else we carry!

To begin with, you’ll find several types of needle gauges.  These are handy tools for figuring out what size needle is in your hand! The sizes stamped on the needles can be hard to read.  Some needle gauges also come with a space to measure your gauge on the swatches you always knit! 

Bags and pouches of all sizes and styles hold essentials from stitch markers to pieces of chocolate to sweater size amounts of yarn.  

It’s always nice to have a special pair of scissors used just for yarn or fabric to keep them sharp.  Our scissor collection can be found throughout the shop.  

HIghlighter tape is a necessity for keeping your place when working from a chart.  Place it on the row above your current row.  That way you can easily see where you are by looking at the row you just worked!  We have at least three colors to choose from.

The On The Go Storage Accessory is perfect to keep different types of markers and cable needles, darning needles, and even a small pair of scissors or snips at your fingertips.

As you continue your tour you’ll find that we have all sorts of items to make your knitting experience more enjoyable.  For instance, a candle adds a nice scent and contributes to a cozy atmosphere.  We have scents galore; there will surely be one you love!

There is special lanolin from Cestari sheep to keep your hands feeling smooth and nourished at this time of year. 

It’s a good idea to have a dedicated wool wash for your hand knits because they are made with gentle ingredients that won’t harm your carefully made projects.  We like ones that don’t need the second step of rinsing such as Eucalan.

You’ll find other items to enhance your knitting experience if you’re able to take the time to browse the nooks and crannies of the shop!

We wish everyone a joyous, if different, holiday season this year.  Next year we’ll have a grand celebration to ring in the holidays!

Happy knitting,

Jenny
