About
Stop to see one of the largest antique knitting machine displays in Wisconsin, with machines dating back to 1890 to present. Jenny always has one machine in work for you to see. Socks, fingerless gloves, scarves, headbands and Christmas ornaments all for sale and made from the machines. Jenny loves to mix yarns and has many one of a kind creations. Most are made with super wash wools which makes them easy to take care of.
Many of the sock machines in the shop were used during WWI and WWII to make socks for soldiers over seas. The Red Cross organized events to teach people to use the machines and help out in the war effort. Today they make much prettier creations. Jenny loves to share the history and beauty of knitting machines. A trip to the shop is a history lesson and an immersion into the world of yarns and color not to be passed up. There are also several unique local artists work mixed into the shop from wood work to soap.
