Knit Stars Will Change Your Life.
Watch the videos below to see how it happened for them.
As owner of Loops, a local yarn store, Shelley Brander saw firsthand how the best knitting teachers could inspire confidence and creativity, giving fiber artists the wings to truly soar. But she knew that, due to geographical, financial and accessibility challenges, so many knitters around the globe might never have a chance to learn from the best.
So Shelley took her background in production and storytelling and started traveling the world - giving knitters a window directly into the lives of the most brilliant designers, dyers and difference-makers. Now in its 5th Season, Knit Stars has become a learning platform like no other - one that inspires, teaches and connects knitters worldwide in a beautiful community of people who love to learn and grow.
Listen to Kim's Story Now.
Kim Malone started knitting as a way to cope with a hard time in her life. Her friend saw that she needed help getting unstuck, so she insisted that Kim start knitting. Learn how Knit Stars helped her to master techniques and build confidence to take on bold projects, in this short 5-min video.
Coming soon: September 22nd
Felicia Eve, owner of String Thing Studio, a New York City-based yarn store, helps and connects knitters in a meaningful way everyday. Let Felicia tell you how Knit Stars made the learning process real and personal for her, pushed her further than she thought possible, and helped her to see that there’s nothing she can’t do.

What You Get with Your Knit Stars Experience...
10 Online Workshops.
Each Knit Stars workshop is comparable to what you would get in a 3-hour, in-person class. Most are 1-2 hours of pure inspiration and instruction – no ads or disruptions – broken into convenient modules. That’s less than $23 per workshop! And, you own them forever.
Watch on your schedule.
Pause, rewind, refer to it again and again. You own it forever! Beginner to advanced, hobbyist to aspiring designer to business owner…there’s always more to learn!
Go behind the scenes to the Stars’ own homes around the world.
See inside their personal studios and workspaces. Learn what inspires them, drives them and makes them tick! You’ll feel like you’ve made 10 new best friends. It’s truly a private experience like no other.
Exclusive chance to purchase Knit Stars yarns!
Our Stars collaborate with indie dyers to create special yarns and kits that you can only get as a Knit Stars owner. Yarn pre-order starts October 18 and yarns ship in January, after the event. Remember, you own the workshops so there’s no timeline 😊
Learn from teachers you might not meet any other way.
Knit Stars brings you the teachers whose in-person (pre-COVID) classes always sold out before you could sign up…plus teachers who you simply can’t access any other way, because they only teach privately in their own remote locations. It’s an amazing way to discover the new mentor who could change your whole fiber life.
