As you crisscross your way through NE Ohio be sure to stop in at Long Tail Knits located in Northfield Center. We are the Crossroads of NE Ohio and can be easily accessed from US271, US77, Rt 8 and the turnpike.
Long Tail Knits is not your ordinary yarn shop. We are a fiber arts store as we do so much more than knit and crochet. While knitting and crochet are important to us, so is spinning, weaving, needle felting, macrame, etc. Fiber arts include many forms and these can cross over into each other.
Our local indie dyers, Kris and Sue with alk&me Fiber Art Studio, provide a wide variety of yarns and other fibers for spinning, weaving and needle felting. Kris also teaches dye techniques from her studio here in Sagamore Hills, Ohio. She teaches many of our workshops held at Long Tail Knits.
We have added another instructor to the Long Tail Knits family. Regina Harden is now teaching some of the needle felt workshops. She has many years of experience and loves to teach others the different techniques to create 2D and 3D items. Be sure to look at the website for upcoming workshops.
Mission statement: To create an environment where knitting, crocheting and other related arts can be developed, nurtured and appreciated in the fiber arts community by providing materials, skills and confidence to our customers so they can attain their individual personal goals.
We stand by our mission statement and feel we not only have the best customers, but friends that come to visit and stay awhile. We like to hang out with them daily. Check out our website at www.longtailknits.com to see the many different techniques we enjoy teaching along with opportunities to come and join us at any of our Open Craft Groups.
