Inish Knits' Owner and Passionate Knitter: Melissa Kelenske Inish Knits is More Than Just a Yarn StoreThe knitters, crocheters and spinners of Leelanau County and the Grand Traverse Region have helped Inish Knits become more than just a yarn store. Our customers have made Inish Knits the emotional hearth of the community by coming together every week to just sit and knit or spin during our Free Knitting Nights on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and our Free Spinning Nights on Wednesdays evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.Knit One Purl Two Plus So Much More!Inish Knits provides the comfortable setting surrounded by shelves and baskets full of yarns, and our customers bring their projects, questions, advice, and fellowship. Mixed and knit together, we have found that every evening provides a community atmosphere for every skill level from beginner to advanced. There is always someone on hand to offer expert advice from practical hands-on experience, technical and emotional support, instruction, or to answer the simplest of questions. We'd like to think that with the follow-up Inish Knits provides to your projects, a bit of the owner goes home with every project.What Are You Working On?Please join us when you can. Bring an existing project or start a new project. Browse through our shelves and racks full of pattern books and match the yarns you need to create your next item. Inish Knits can help to get you started on your new knitting adventure.A Spinning Wheel in Every CornerAt Inish Knits we celebrate all spun fibers. Getting fiber ready to spin begins with carding - a process to get all the fibers aligned in one single direction. Once gathered, the spinning begins to create the first ply of yarn.Indulge yourself in the timeless and tranquil art of spinning. The cadence and rhythm of coordinating the motion of the foot pedals with the feeding of the fiber through the orifice is hypnotic, and more therapeutic than chocolate! Spin silk, wool, or cotton. Use one of many different styles of spinning wheels or a drop spindle to create your yarn. Once you have created your yarn you are ready to create your next masterpiece. Knit, crochet, or weave you handspun fibers. We stock an extensive selection of books, magazines and pattern books which provide all the instruction you will need, in addition to follow-up support.

Inish is the Gaelic word for "island", most specifically the three Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland-Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer. The knitting styles and methods developed by these coastal fishermen in the mid-17th century serve as the foundation of modern hand knitting today.Inish Knits is a Touchable PlaceWe would like to to think that our customers think of Inish Knits as their shop too.
