Bellevue just got cozier! The Knitters Studio, located in the vibrant Elements Too Building in Downtown Bellevue, has recently opened its doors, adding a creative hub for yarn lovers in the community. Nestled across from the French Bakery, this bright and welcoming studio offers a range of starter knitting kits for beginners, an extensive selection of premium yarns, and classes that cater to both novice and experienced knitters and crocheters.
Owner Rene Dickey is an accomplished visual artist who brings her passion for creativity to The Knitter’s Studio—Bellevue’s first and only dedicated yarn shop.
What makes The Knitters Studio unique is its inclusive and vibrant community. No matter your skill level, there’s something for everyone. The studio offers a wide range of yarns, patterns, accessories, and books to support your next knitting or crochet project. Classes range from beginner-level knitting to advanced pattern-making, ensuring that you'll find the perfect class whether you’re new to the craft or looking to refine your skills.

The Knitters Studio also hosts social knitting times on Wednesday mornings and Friday evenings, where attendees can gather, create, and connect. These events are the perfect way to work on projects while meeting fellow yarn enthusiasts.
For those looking to deepen their appreciation for hand-dyed fibers, keep an eye out for pop-up trunk shows featuring local artists. In November, a special book signing and trunk show with Washington-based designer Jamie Lomax is scheduled—an event not to be missed!
Whether you’re picking up knitting needles for the first time or adding to your fiber collection, The Knitter’s Studio is a must-visit for anyone looking to spark their creative journey. Check out the studio for a class, a cozy social gathering, or to simply stock up on your next project’s supplies.
