Our Business Members

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.

In a store full of fancy string, our mission is to remember that we are bound together as a community. We seek to be not just your local yarn store, but the yarn store that welcomes you!

​It's been a long journey, and you've been so patient. We're so excited to welcome you back to our new location at 459 Massachussetts Ave, Arlington. Our space is bright, colorful, and welcoming. We can't wait to see you!
