Do you sell wholesale?
We do not offer wholesale prices at this time. Most of our products have already been reduced in price and we feel that those prices are very competitive in today’s market. We want to offer the same great prices to all of our customers.
We are working diligently to bring our exciting Options needles to our international customers.

Our Start
Knit Picks began in 2002 with the purpose of connecting knitters with a wide selection
of yarn, knitting books, needles and accessories at great prices. In 2004, owners
Bob and Kelley Petkun decided to explore the possibility of working directly with
yarn mills to bring high quality, natural fiber yarns to knitters without all the
extra levels of distribution that increase costs. This is why Knit Picks’ yarns are
so incredibly affordable.
In 2006, Bob and Kelley applied the same concept to knitting needles. First, they
worked closely with a large group of knitters to determine all the features the ideal
knitting needle would have. Then, they developed a partnership with a manufacturer
who was excited to invest the time and engineering expertise necessary to make the
dream knitting needle come true.
The Knit Picks team continues to look for ways to bring innovative knitting products
to knitters for the best possible value.
