This is Knit supply a wide range of Yarn, patterns, knitting needles and accessories
This is Knit is owned and operated by mother and daughter team Jacqui and Lisa Sisk. The company opened for business in May 2006 and trades both online and five days at week at 19A Main Street, Blackrock, Co. Dublin.
Lisa, like many children of the eighties, learned how to knit in school but didn’t keep it up after the teddy bear was finished. On a trip to New Zealand in 2004 she spotted another backpacker knitting in a hostel common room and thought it would be nice way to pass the long winter nights.
As luck would have it, the small town of Greymouth had no fewer than three yarn shops and she picked up the excellent “Stitch n Bitch, a Beginner’s Handbook” to learn from. She returned home four months later as a true knitting addict.
Jacqui is a mother of four and grandmother to one and used to knit matching jumpsuits for her young children, who still haven’t forgiven her. After a fifteen year break she rediscovered knitting in 2004, when Lisa introduced her to the range and quality of yarns available today. She has barely put her needles down since.
Jacqui left her job as cabin crew in March 2006 to focus on This is Knit and on her “day job” minding her grandson (who isn’t getting any jumpsuits!).
