Can you answer my questions about yarn fabric or colors?

Yes, and doing so would make Mrs Knits' day! Feel free to Contact Us with your questions about yarn fabric or colors, and Mrs Knits will be happy to share her expertise.

Mrs. Knits is excited to announce that she will be revamping her “What’s on my Needles with Mrs. Knits” You Tube Channel as well as generating content on Instagram and Pintrest. Lot’s of fun conversation and inspiration about her world travels and the quirky personality behind her lifelong journey having overcoming Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurosurgery to live her best life as an advocate for the fact that being Disabled does not stop her from chasing her dreams and showing fiber love.

Can you teach me how to knit or crochet?

Mrs. Knits is not a gifted teacher. However, unlike the past were we were solely internet focused, we are changing course and are exploring pop-up events and online content to offer lessons, demonstrations and trunk shows again. Mrs. Knits is rebuilding what she and the late great Mr. Knits once did in her studio.

Do you wind off yarn?

Sorry not at this time because we lack the staff resources to do so. However we can accomodate requests for an additional fee based on the projects. Winding off yarn is time and labor intensive and would require us to raise prices as brick and mortar shops do.

Will you send me exactly the same yarn I see in the picture?

That is surprisingly impossible to promise. Start with the fact that even recent computer monitors vary. We work hard to use accurate photos, but there can still be variations in lighting between any camera and your home. Furthermore, many yarns, especially our flagship Noro yarns, have intentional variegation as a design feature that WILL make the outside of the skein look different for each skein. If you want more exact color control, we offer other yarns. Eisaku Noro designed yarn based on the colors of nature. No two trees look exactly alike, even in the same species. To buy Noro is to embrace random color changes. Please study the swatch photos before making a purchase – all the colors in the swatch photo will be in each skein. We do accept returns, but won’t tolerate abuse of the privilege. We will of course arrange a return or exchange if we send you the wrong color number/name by mistake.

How long does it take to receive an order?

About a week in the continental USA. Please see our Shipping Policy page for details, including shipping to locations in and out of the USA. If you need expedited shipping options please email us and we would be happy to discuss.

Can you send a specific dye lot to me?

We do not guarantee you receiving a certain dye lot, only the specified brand, style, & color. That's mainly because we have no control over the dye lot the manufacturer & distributor send to us. You may Contact Us to find out what dye lot we have available. But your best bet is to buy more than enough for a project to ensure consistency (maybe extra goes to your stash).

Having said that, we will make every effort to match dye lots as much as possible. Please note that eBay auctions rarely include dye lot information because they are often odd lots or orphan skeins but are marked down accordingly.

Can you knit up a sweater or other garment for me?

Mrs. Knits enjoys knitting sweaters, scarves, and more! She is working on adding custom-knitting services in 2027-28 because it takes time to recruit and train that kind of special talent in a custom knitter.

Do you cater to crocheters or just knitters?

One love for fiber! We have more knitting than crochet offerings and content simply because Mrs. Knits is a skilled knitter, but has no crochet experience. So, while we have to be genuine in that regard, you will see most of our yarn descriptions have approximate stitches per inch for knitting and crocheting.

You’ll also see recommended hook sizes in addition to needle sizes for most of our yarns. We offer Noro books and magazines that heavily feature crochet patterns, and we even offer a kit or two with a crochet pattern. So, hopefully, that’s enough for crocheters to be “hooked” on us.

Where are you based? Do you have a store I can visit?

MKYS Owners Bonnie Chisum Fields and her husband Drevonne (Viral Knits) live in beautiful Seattle, Washington and operate the shop out of nearby Bremerton on the Kitsap Penninsula. While we don’t have a retail location yet, one is in the works. For the moment we are online primarily but will be hosting “pop up” type events like trunk shows and social media etc in the near future. If you would like to pick up your yarn in person that is available at our Bremerton or Seattle Office.

Our Seattle Location is a new space we just setup in the Pioneer Collective Co-Working building in the Historic Pike Place Market. It’s a converted Dairy Barn with a funky industrial art-loft charm vibe. We are so excited to move into a full time office and will use the goregous space to host trunk shows and special events. We are still moving in as of Oct 2026, but we can meet visitors there to pick up yarn from us or stop by and say hello! We are normally in Seattle TWR and Bremerton MFS. We are closed Sundays for family day.

Are you replacing local yarn shops (LYS)?

We always want to complement LYS rather than replace them. Mrs. Knits has fond memories of the LYS community, and is heartbroken to see so many fall due to the recent pandemic and other economic conditions. We mostly cater to people who have some knitting experience, have some familiarity with our yarns, and folks who struggle to get to a LYS due to distance, disability, or other reasons. We foster our own community through our blog, online trunk shows, videos, articles, & other online interaction. So please check back here now and then for new blog entries and other content.
