Yarn. People. Love.

Knit B’ham weaves these powerful forces together to build an inclusive, safe, and creative community of knitting and crochet enthusiasts. 

Founded by Isabel Rubio, Knit B’ham continues her work of community building by creating a welcoming space for all people to gather around their common interest in making magic with beautiful yarn.  Knit B’ham strives to bring ethically sourced and processed natural fibers to our customers to promote slow fashion and build sustainable wardrobes.
