WHO ARE WE
Knit 1 Purl 2 is the dream of owner Shelley Edelman, who started knitting
when she was in the 8th grade. She has a passion for the craft, and has
long wanted to share it with others. She personally researches and chooses
a wide range of luscious yarns in all price ranges.
The shop has an old-fashioned, service-oriented appeal, but its visual and physical allure is anything but old-fashioned. The store is well organized to make it easy for customers to find products, and sit comfortably to get instruction or just knit and chat.
You can also say that the shop is "customer-driven," because if you can't find what you want, Shelley will go out of her way to find it or a reasonable substitute for you.
Shelley, along with staffers, Allison, Myrna, Bernice and Jody, will work with you from the start of a project through to the finish. And be sure to check out the bulletin boards which feature photos of finished projects shared by our customers.
If you don't live in central New Jersey but wish to order yarn from us, just send an email from the product pages.
