According to the Craft Yarn Council of American, women who knit
and crochet has grown from 8 million to 17.2 million, in less than
10 years! The biggest increase is in young women, under the age
of 45. Knitting and crocheting are back in style.

cotton, and wool. All by the best in the industry: Lion, Caron,

us order exactly what you need. We have always offered this special
service for yarn and supplies. If we don’t stock the
item you are only required to take the minimum skein quantity. Stop

At Ben Franklin we stay up to date with the trends. We have a
great selection of fine wood needles. One of the most exciting
nostalgia items added this winter is the yarn loom, by “In
the Attic”. These yarn looms are made of durable, flexible
and washable urethane. They are soft on your hands, not like the
original wooden looms. All looms have a 5-year warranty. Knitting
looms are a great way to introduce a friend to knitting. Anyone,
young or old can use these looms to create hats, scarves, mittens,
socks, purses and even dolls.
