"I took up crochet a little over a year ago and immediately fell deep into the world of fiber art. I've since picked knitting back up after a 20 year hiatus, started to dabble in embroidery, and sewing. After 16 years in the corporate world working with small business owners, I decided it was time to follow my true passion: crafting and building community. At Tight Knit, my mission is simple: cultivate a fun, inclusive environment where creativity flows, and everyone feels at home.
Tight Knit was created to be a place for connection and self expression; a peaceful space where everyone can explore the joy of fiber arts. We're more than just a yarn store, here you'll find classes for all skill levels, community events, and space to drop in and work on a project surrounded by other fiber lovers." Shannon MacDonald

My grandmother Bubbie had a store selling yarn and yard goods in Upham’s Corner in Dorchester for over 40 years. I loved her store and have wonderful memories of time spent there as a child. Those memories inspired me to open Elissa’s Creative Warehouse thirty-five years ago. In addition to yarn, we have a wonderful selection of buttons and also carry needlepoint canvases and supplies as well as weaving supplies.

Bubbie taught me to knit when I was six. She tried teaching me crochet, but that really didn’t click for me until I was a teenager. Now I teach people to knit, crochet and needlepoint, offering classes and private lessons at the store. I love the sense of community we’ve built here. I’m an energy medicine practitioner and I find that the act of creating and of being in community is so healing for people. This store is a refuge, and no matter what is happening in the world, as long knitters can gather and create, we’ll endure.
