It’s the 20th Anniversary of Knit Picks! To celebrate our anniversary, we thought it’d be fun to go around the office and get early Knit Picks yarn memories from the team. You’ll hear a range of voices telling the story of their first Knit Picks yarn, favorite Knit Picks yarn, memorable old projects, and more.

Later, Stacey and Lee discuss our two newest yarns, Array and Elixir, and share a little bit about how they were developed and what it’s like to knit with them.
