What they oer The shop oˆers Nordic yarn brands including Isager, CaMaRose, Knitting for Olive and Istex. Edgar Castañeda said these natural ‹bers help produce long-lasting projects. Along with yarn and accessories, Rebecca Castañeda oˆers private and group classes for beginners and experienced knitters at Kani Kettu. Rebecca Castañeda said she initially learned from YouTube and has a decade of practice through The Knitting Guild Association, where she will soon earn a master’s certi‹cate in knitting. Future plans for the business include adding a coˆee shop by the end of the year, providing a space for customers to knit and work remotely.

Rebecca Castañeda said she opened a yarn shop as crafting became more popular during COVID-19. “A lot of people were getting into knitting and crocheting and kind of taking a step back into slow fashion and building things and taking passion in what you were doing,” she said. Kani Kettu sells Nordic-style yarns so customers can create quality garments that will last. “That’s the kind of love of the craft that we want to feature,” Edgar Castañeda said.
