About Us…

Women-owned and operated, Roots Knitting Academy & Shop founders, Brianna & Natalie, met as children while attending an event at their local knitting shop! More than 20 years of friendship and over a decade of teaching experience later, they decided to take their knitting journey to the next step! Seeing a need in the needle arts community for more accessible and effective learning to knit and crochet in the midst a global pandemic, two life-long friends came together to spread their knowledge of their craft. Roots was originally founded in January 2022 and opened a brick & mortar shop in January 2025. Roots Knitting hopes to continue to spread their knowledge and love of the needle arts for years to come. Read below to learn more about our amazing team of bad ass ladies.
