Zweiman was particularly interested in the concerns of older women at the store, and when she learned about the Women’s March she knew that she wanted to participate. On November 10th that year, two days after Donald Trump was elected President, Zweiman called Suh and told her that she wanted to go to the Little Knittery to find comfort. The crowd ranged in age from adolescent to geriatric, and sitting around knitting or crocheting gave Zweiman an “opportunity to really listen,” she told me. After a few lessons, Zweiman and Suh became regulars. Every Friday there were “knit nights,” open to all.

But Kat Coyle, who has owned the Little Knittery for nine years, has worked hard to make it an inviting place, outfitting it with worn Persian rugs, a giant pink sofa, and several comfortable chairs. Yarn shops, like bike or record stores, can be alienating to newcomers patrons and employees sometimes act like members of an exclusive club who share the language of obscure wool blends.
