Bob and Kelley Petkun started Knit Picks in 2002 to connect
knitters with a wide selection of yarn, Knitting books, needles and accessories
at great prices. In 2005, they began designing needles that would combine all
the best features of all the different brands of needles currently on the
market to create one perfect needle with the help of Indeutsch
International. After experimenting with several prototypes and testing these
models with focus groups of other knitters, they began selling the Options
Interchangeable systems and fixed circulars in 2006. Following the success of
the Options needles, they expanded their needle line in 2007 to include
the beautiful laminated wood Harmony needles as well as double pointed needles.
Today, over 50,000 knitters in North America use Knit Picks Options and Harmony
needles. Because they have received requests from potential customers located
outside of North America for these products, Knit Picks is now offering them to
dealers outside the USA and Canada.
KnitPicks and KnitPicks.com are a division of the Crafts Americana Group, Inc.
which is privately owned by Bob and Kelley Petkun.
