Maybe you are getting a little bit tired of the Pandemic we're experiencing. Relaxation time, with life slowed down somewhat!? I'd love to help you get started with a new, relaxing pastime that is also soothing and on top of that, good for your BRAIN! My Pandemic Special is back!
I started this growing company in the mountains in Colorado almost 5 years ago and it is growing! I live in Pitkin, Colorado, year-round population around 70 people...a VERY small town with a Post Office open two hours a day. I am happy to have called this home for over 25 years now. We have long winters, at 9242 ft. in elevation, and that means there's a lot of time for my favorite hobbies, knitting and weaving!
Yearning to Learn to Knit? My favorite tutorial for learning to knit can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM5M2Fu0RtY and my favorite link for a tutorial on casting on stitches can be found at https://www.youtube.com. /watch?v=8wUPQDYtoy0
Knit Pitkin will get your order to you ASAP, with shipping the next business day (or if you order early enough in the day, before 9:30 a.m. Mountain Time, the same day). Shipping only to U.S. addresses for now. Hopefully returns will not be necessary but as a small business, I need to require that the item be returned in the same condition I shipped it in - barring damage in the mail - and that you pay for sending it back to me, and I feel that it's fair to split the original shipping cost that I have already spent to give you free shipping, between us, so I'll retain half of that and take it out of the amount of the refund of the cost of the new condition items returned. Note that credit card payments will show up on your statement as payments to The Basket Collector, a business name that I have owned since 1996 and my credit card merchant account remains in that name. I am a former Longaberger Consultant and will eventually offer some retired Longaberger Baskets in this store. NOTE THAT DROP-SHIPPED ITEMS will not have free shipping. Updated 6/30/2020.
I sell yarn and accessories for knitting and weaving (looms, shuttles, and can take special orders for other Schacht Spindle Company items), some felting supplies, some kits, plus knitting and fiber arts accessories, like ball winders and swifts).
Right now here in Colorado, winter weather is moving in. Most people are staying home unless they need to go out for some reason. You may be looking for a new hobby, like knitting or weaving. Or maybe you can steal some! Please order here online or if you have questions, email me at knitpitkin@gmail.com.
I have Brown Sheep Company Lamb's Pride Worsted, Bulky, Brown Sheep Company Burly Spun yarns, Wildfoote sock yarn, Nature Spun Worsted, Lanaloft Worsted, Lanaloft Sport, and Lana Boucle .... and I have a lot of Cascade Super Wash 220, some Cascade Super Wash Sport weight, and Cascade Roslyn yarn in several colors, as well as three different books from the 60 Quick series, and a few skeins of a discontinued yarn called Seeds. I can also accept special orders.
I sell single point pairs of needles, circular needles (including sets with interchangeable tips, by the high-quality German company, Addi), and double-pointed needles, plus cable needles. I can also take special orders. I have helping tools for knitters as well as larger items like the wood ball-winder by Nancy's Knit Knacks and Glimakra's wonderful Large Umbrella Swift so you can wind your yarn into neat balls before you start your projects!
