Store

Tricoter owners Lindy Phelps and Beryl Hiatt have knit hundreds of sweaters and helped hundreds of women and men do the same. The prolific knitters are also prolific authors, having written three books on the subject with a fourth in the works. The Madison Valley store carries a huge array of luxury, designer and novelty fibers and an amazing selection of buttons. Novices and pros can choose from a variety of classes. Can't finish (or start) your own project? Tricoter offers a range of services including finishing services, custom-designed sweater patterns that are not only beautiful but actually fit, and the owners will even hand-knit custom sweaters for you starting at $350.
