My favorite type of craft: mixing knitting with crochet. Even better if it's ombre! This color combination reminds me of peacock feathers, and it's arguably the prettiest wrist warmers set I've ever created.

look what I made

Jute twine and Handicrafter cotton in the round with a double ended 5mm hook. Nothing else in knitting or crochet looks like simple stitch Tunisian, those clean lines!

If someone who had never done a yarn craft asked me if they should try crochet or knitting first, I would definitely say crochet.

I just feel like the list of tools and notions needed to get into crochet is way shorter and cheaper than the list for knitting.

For crochet, you can get a set of aluminum crochet hooks ranging from 2.0 to 10.0 mm on Amazon for less than $10. For less than $20 you can get a set of hooks with a couple darning needles and a couple stitch markers. With this set, you can tackle most projects and most yarn weights without issue. I’m still using the original set of crochet hooks I got for Christmas years ago and have never needed to buy new ones for a specific pattern.

I feel like there are so many more tools and notions for knitting. There are so many styles and sizes of needles. And not only do you have to pay attention to needle diameter, but you have to pay attention to the lengths of the needles or circulars too. And most garment knitting patterns I see call for multiple sizes AND types of needles for one project. I have multiple patterns that I love, have a yarn for, but are just sitting and waiting for me to have the budget to get the appropriate needles for the project, because there is no “everything you need to knit kit”.

If you disagree, I’d love to discuss!

Let's Spill the Tea: Working at Craft Specific Stores - Compensation and Benefits

General Industry

Hey all! I have been working at a small local yarn shop located in the Northeastern US and after some recent discussions with my employer about pay (and her shaming me and getting defensive for wanting a raise) I wanted to see if we could have a discussion in this thread to try to suss out how pay in our industry varies, what kind of benefits or discounts you receive, and your store owners' views on the workers they hire and how they see the type of work you do. I suspect that because these industries (knitting/crocheting, sewing, needlework, etc.) are often linked to "women's work" or are viewed as "nonessential" (a horrible knitting rep at the store once came in and said knitting was a rich woman's hobby) compensation is going to reflect that. I also think some owners may view their retail associates as just that, rather than skilled crafters who are often supplying customers with a wealth of knowledge and beautifully made samples (fixing mistakes, teaching a skill in the moment, helping someone understand their pattern, etc). Or perhaps I just have a really abysmal store owner *shrugs*. Also, of you are an owner, I'd love to hear from you! I decided to make a form that we could all fill out to try to get some "data". Here's my info:

Location: Northeastern US

Craft Store Type: Knitting/Crochet Store

Pay: $15/hr

Part or Full Time: Part

Years Worked: 3

State Minimum Wage: $15

Benefits: No health, employer has me listed as a "contractor", so she doesn't pay into SS and Medicare, no paid time off, no overtime for working federal holidays, I get to sit in on classes if I want

Discount: None, was 20% when I started but as she raised my wage as the state wage went up she got rid of the discount

Responsibilities: The usual retail responsibilities (restock, ring out, help customers), teach classes for $15/hr pay, manage social media, find replacements to work when I take vacation time (even months in advance), manage store and inventory (currently working more than store owner), help make ordering decisions, knit samples (not paid or given store credit for samples), come up with marketing ideas, run and manage store run knit alongs and events, keeping track of what's going on (store owner doesn't communicate or write down info that needs to be communicated to multiple employees).

Store/Staffing Practices and Views: Often the associate is the only one working and the owner will come in for the last three hours of the day. There's pressure put on employees if the day isn't going well. Owner views herself as woman owned independent business that supports other small, often woman owned, businesses. She complains a lot about recent increases in prices from her end, but doesn't increase her own labor costs. Last time she gave me a raise when minimum wage went up she told me she couldn't keep doing this and I can't ask her to raise my wage every year (my state increased minimum for the last three years and I used to make a $1 more than minimum).

Here's the form for you! All crafting store associates are welcome to fill out!

Location:

Craft Store Type:

Pay:

Part or Full Time:

Years Worked:

State Minimum Wage:

Benefits:

Discount:

Responsibilities:

EDIT: Thank you to all who reached out. First, please keep populating the comments with your craft store employment info or forward to those you know who work in small craft stores or are owners. I’d like as much “data” to be on here as possible to help others considering employment in the industry.

Secondly, I very much appreciate the advice around my (and others in the industry) misclassification as a contractor. I realised I was not as of last year, I spoke with my boss about it 6 months ago, was supposed to be changed to W2 but that hasn’t happened. She’s dragging her heels and we know why (workmen’s comp insurance). When I leave in October I intend to report her. And for the record, I’d would be crazy to let this woman handle my taxes; I do my own, I have paid self employment every year and this year was the first year it dawned on me that she should have been meeting her obligations towards my benefits. I believe employees have been listed as contractors for over a decade, so when she is reported, I don’t know what the fallout will be.

Crochet/knitting hobbyists of Hrm, where do you buy your yarn?

Question

Michaels selection is crap and they never have what I'm looking for. Finding cotton yarn other than handicrafter is next to impossible and they don't even carry that at michaels anymore.

I'm very into amigurumi right now and it's hard to find what I need. Suggestions I already have to check out are fabricville and atlantic fabrics, but would love to hear of any places that carry yarn even if not a crafting store.
