Along with yarn and accessories, Rebecca Castañeda oers 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 certicate in knitting. Future plans for the business include adding a coee 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.
