Yeh, it is my favourite yarn shop in Dublin. I absolutely love their yarns for quality and colours. I just wish they work every day 😀

[rebecca-]

What a beautiful shop and location and story behind the shop! If I ever make it to Dublin, I will definitely spend some time there! Thank you for sharing. Ok: Gus and Scout … cat cuteness overload. ❤

What a wonderful shop, I would love to visit it next year. Thank you for bringing it to us!

I visited Dublin, (Canadian) for my first time this fall. I also visited This is Knit, and was very impressed not only by their gorgeous shop, but the staff were all so down to earth, helpful,
and knowledgeable. Super nice folks, and an absolute delight to shop the variety of product that they have. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Loved your interview with Lisa.

Hello Mark,
What a lovely episode with Lisa. This is Knit has been my LYS for 18 years. It is luxury at its best.
I was one of the "testers" for the weaving loom. I hope you enjoy the art of weaving with Donegal Aran Tweed.
I hope you'll visit visit Dublin again, drop my a message when you do.

My husband and I just finished a three-month stay in Dublin. While I was there I knitted children's hats for a pediatric hospital and hats and scarves for the homeless. This Is Knit was my go-to yarn store. Everyone there was so nice and so helpful. I discovered Uneek fingering and had a blast designing modular hats with it.

I live in Dublin and started learning to knit recently, this shop is my favourite since 😊

I really enjoy the way that you approach yarn shop presentations, Mark. It's never just about consuming items. You parse out that mission statement! This was a lovely visit, as were the other shop visits you have shared. I found myself thinking, if I had a yarn shop what would set it apart ? What is it I really love about the craft? What sort of environment would I want to cultivate? How about you? What kind of shop do you think you would develop if you had the chance?

I was just there in September and it's a super cute shop. The staff is very friendly also. They have beautiful yarn and I bought some Donegal yarn. I would love to go back.

I love This Is Knit! I’ve never been to Ireland, but found them through their Instagram reels. I participated in their “My First Sweater” follow-along which was wonderful. I’m glad you got to visit their shop, and thanks for making a video.

I'm from Michigan. "Up North" and living in Ireland the past 25 years. This is Knit is my LYS, and I love the shop. The staff are my friends now. I sometimes order online, and the customer service is beyond expectations.
I really enjoyed your video and following you faithfully now😊

I'm based in Dublin, walked into the TIK shop last year and said 'Id like to learn to knit.' 7 projects later and Im still coming back. They are so kind and helpful! Thanks for highlighting them!

Commenting from Ireland. This is Knit is a wonderful shop, the quality of the yarns is amazing and the shop supports local hand dyers. Thanks for sharing 😊

[MariaFM]

I live in Dublin and I love This is Knit! It's great and they also have a partnership with the University's Knitting society so students get a discount. As a student on a budget, I absolutely love how they have really affordable high quality options, there is a chunky wool/acrylic blend range that is so soft AND warm AND affordable, and it really lets me crochet and make really high quality stuff without breaking the bank. And the staff are so lovely and make everyone feel welcome!

I go to Ireland every summer and have never stayed in Dublin, but next year I am going to make it a point to spend a night or two and visit This is Knit, it looks so lovely. Thanks for this.

[jasminenoack]

Awww. This is so sweet. I do live that knitting is a thing that brings desperate people together. I especially love that it equalizes in a really interesting way. Someone who is 60 isn’t necessarily better than someone who is 25. And someone who’s knit for 20 years might have never done something and can learn it from someone who’s knit for a year.

[arwenwestrop]

The last time I was in Dublin in 2004 this shop didn't exist yet. If, however, I'm ever back there, this shop will be the first place I go to! And Mark, I love spending time with you on your videos! 😉

[summerking]

So lovely that you got to visit Dublin. Trust you both enjoyed yourselves here. This is Knit is one of my LYS.

[joanporter]

I loved your interview with Lisa. This is my LYS. It’s a beautiful shop, with a fabulous yarn collection. Everyone in the This is Knit team is so helpful and knowledgeable. Already planning my next visit to the shop !!!

[katie.is.dreaming]

LOVE This is Knit. I discovered them just as I was starting my knitting journey and they helped me pick my first pattern and buy my first skeins. They are always so helpful and friendly, and they sell so many lovely yarns.
