Polka Dot Sheep

Nestled in the valley under the Big Mountain there sits a cozy green house with a bright red door. Step inside this adorable home and you’ll be surrounded by the beautiful yarn and friendly staff and customers of the Knit ‘n Needle Yarn Shoppe and polkadotsheep.com.

Whitefish, Montana, home to the Knit ‘n Needle, is a small town tucked up against the mountains on the north end of the Flathead Valley. Many discover Whitefish when they come to enjoy the splendors of Glacier National Park or skiing on Big Mountain. Historically a timber and railroad town, Whitefish is now known for amazing year round recreational opportunities and its laid-back lifestyle.

Shoppe owner Aimee Alexander opened the red door of the Knit 'n Needle Yarn Shoppe in 2003 and introduced the world to the Polka Dot Sheep Yarns and Publications. Polkadotsheep.com was launched in 2011 to better serve yarn lovers everywhere and the Shoppe’s widespread loyal customers. Along with Aimee, the staff of the Knit 'n Needle are friendly, knowledgeable knitters. As well as providing customers with a variety of yarns and tools, we offer helpful support and encouragement. Knitting has always been an activity that forges ties among people so there is always an open seat at the table where you can sit and knit or just chat. Often times you will find inspiration from someone's project lying on the table near the ball winder. Drop into our Ravelry group and see finished projects with our yarns as well as the same fun chatter and on-going projects.

Nearly every corner of the Shoppe is filled with our exclusive Polka Dot Sheep Yarn which is hand dyed in Whitefish, Montana, as well as yarns from Berroco, Malabrigo, Madelinetosh, Mountain Colors, and Brown Sheep to name a few. You will find a wide selection of circular, double point, and straight needles including the popular Addi Turbos and Addi Lace in multiple cable lengths.
