Hands On Knitting Center is a fiber arts store which opened in 2011. There, one discovers natural yarns and fibers of both animal and plant origin, many of which are machine washable.  There are also patterns, pattern books, and the tools (needles, hooks, looms) necessary to create sweaters, socks, scarves, shawls, hats, gloves, cuffs – you name it. Since weaving looms are expensive, the Center offers looms for rent, so one can try a weaving project without having to purchase a loom.
