Knitting Central

Description

We have always felt it important to develop a trusting relationship with our customers. For those of you who will now be shopping online with us, we thought hearing a bit from our customers, vendors, and industry designers might help you get to know who we are and hopefully, develop that same relationship. Thank you for your support, Cynthia Ordering yarn from the US always feels costly and a bit risky to us here in the UK. It can take ages to come, the exchange rate doesn’t favour us and our import taxes are heavy – so I always think twice! However my buying experience with Knitting Central was so good. I received a friendly contact by email very promptly (on a Sunday!) and was kept informed of when the yarn shipped. My package arrived within a week, beautifully packaged and correctly addressed. The yarn is perfect – just what I wanted. I have already placed a second order. It is great to find a friendly, knowledgeable reliable seller from so far away!! Ruth Griffiths, Hertfordshire, England "For any of my projects whether it be knitting, weaving, coil basketry, or whatever else strikes my fiber fancy, Knitting Central is to me what a toy store is to a child, water to a fish or the sky to a bird. It's pure heaven. The colors are inspiring, the textures luscious and palpable. Everything in the store is a trigger point to my creative senses. The staff is knowledgeable, creative, warm and so accessible to novices and advanced knitters. The classes are top quality and I have met some fantastic people. Cynthia is my inspiration, my fiber and color guru. Thank you! Why shop anywhere else!" Francine E. Fairfield, CT "In my opinion, Knitting Central is simply a crafter's dream come true!. When you enter the store and close the door behind, you feel a little like Lewis Carroll's Alice. It is as if you have entered a parallel universe. Immediately the creative juices start to flow. There before your eyes are the most wonderful and intriguing array of fibers and textures lining the walls. The visual stimulation also includes beautiful samples of garments on mannequins and lovely hand crafted accessories and books carefully placed all around the store. It would be impossible not to want to stay a while to touch and explore all that you are surrounded by in this inviting and serene atmosphere. Owners Cynthia and Rick Crescenzo literally "shop the world" in search of the most beautiful fibers and hand crafted items from both the most established names in the yarn and craft accessories industries and from small artisans as well. As a result of this tireless effort, they very successfully provide one of the most unique shopping and learning experiences for their customers. Some of the unique one-of-a-kind items that they offer include: hand blown glass shawl pins, and crochet hooks, beautiful hand made silver stitch markers, custom made craft travel bags that are both beautiful and sturdy enough to double as real overnight or carry-on bags. These are just a few of their unique small artisan offerings. Their attention to the needs of their customers is also reflected in their full blown educational program.
