Are we really sisters? That is the number one question asked of us since we opened Knitting Sisters. The answer is yes and no. Yes, we are sisters - in knitting - a part of that wonderful family of creative and passionate souls who find friendship in other knitters, take solace and comfort in being together to knock out a sock and talk about life’s ups and downs. But no-we are not biological sisters. As a customer was once overheard saying, “who would name their children Kat, Cathy and Carol?”

We are three friends who in 1995, as co-workers, started a knitting group at our workplace. It grew, and grew, and grew. Soon, we realized there was no place locally to buy the kind of yarn we were looking for. One day, we went to lunch and talked about a dream of opening a yarn shop “someday”. Ideas and notes were written on a napkin; on September 6, 2003, “someday” became reality. And yes, we still have the napkin.

We found the perfect quaint space with a fireplace and brick exterior just outside the Colonial Williamsburg historic area. Just as with houses “quaint” means small, and after two years we expanded down the walkway at The Village Shops at Kingsmill into our current home with lots more room to move, a separate classroom that does lots of double duty, and more room for yarn!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have the most wonderful Sisters (our staff) and the best customers in the world to call our knitting family.
Join us as we pass on our love of fibers and knitting and to share that passion as we “knit it forward.”
