10a - 9p Monday - Saturday

A new hip knit store run by two fabu local knit grrls... One of whom is Karli Capps, formerly from Hill Country Weavers. (If you know Karli, you know Gauge friendly place with a hip vibe.) And the other is Afsaneh Taki, who is just as enthusiastic and knowledgable and ready to help.

The yarn is arranged by gauge! You see the variety of yarns in cubbies situated around the store. There is a collection of magazines and books available as well as needles in various types, sizes and lengths.

Classes will be added soon.

There is an open patio for knitting gatherings when the weather allows.

For photos of the shop and the grand opening, see http://www.gaugeknit.com/grand.html.
