Knit Tuck and Purl
About
Knit Tuck and Purl is a small local yarn shop in the heart of historic Lexington carrying yarns from fingering weight to super chunky and from budget-friendly to luxury. Customers find well-known name brands next to small-batch dyers from around the world, and the shop also sells needles, hooks, notions, patterns and books. The owners see knitting as a sentimental craft, where every skein, needle and finished project carries its own story.
Laurie Williamson and Christine Randazzo opened the shop after more than three decades of knitting, a dream inspired by memories of visiting Auntie Joanie’s yarn shop, What’s Needling You, in Fort Collins, Colorado. The name comes from Tucker, their playful dog, who has a habit of snatching yarn when no one is looking. The store aims to be cozy and a little playful while taking yarn quality seriously.
