JP Knit & Stitch Yarn Wall



As promised, some photos of the yarn wall build out. Here is the bare wall with just the tape to indicate where the yarn cubbies are going.



The yarn wall with the vertical slats installed. Each jut out along the wall creates a discrete yarn alcove. In each alcove is a countertop along one side. Here you can lay out multiple skeins of yarn, open a pattern book, or just put your bag down while you shop. Our goal throughout the store was to create a beautiful but also functional space to browse yarn and fabric.



Imagine these cubbies stocked full of a rainbow of colors and textures and fibers!

Opening Soon!


461 Center Street is the new home of JP Knit & Stitch! We are thrilled and excited and more than a little overwhelmed with all that has to be done to turn our longtime dream into a reality. Thanks to everyone in the JP community for their support.



This is what our store looked like when we signed the lease. We have a lot of work to do!



This is what it looks like now. Better, but still plenty of work to do. We will be showing sneak peeks of our progress on the store in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
