Yarn Garage

The sisters from Lila and Claudine's aren't the only sibling shop owners on the hop.

Welcome to the Yarn Garage.

"We are a full service - yarn, knitting and needlework station located in Rosemount, Minnesota. The Yarn Garage is owned and operated by Steven Berg & Monika Oeltjen, a brother and sister team who were both trained in this craft by their mother.
.

Monika Oeltjen & Steven Berg have dubbed themselves, “The Stitch Mechanics”, as they are always helping knitters and the needlework challenged. They are a brother and sister team, who were taught many types of needlework from their mother as children. They come from a strong background of knitting and crocheting, as well as embroideries, macramé and any other trendy craft.
.

Their credits include creating knits for Hollywood celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston. Local projects include the Lori Line Christmas Concert accessories, the Macy's (Daytons) Eighth Floor Holiday show. Together, Monika & Steven have put a modern twist on some great old traditional crafts!

Knitting and crocheting are the “Hot Trend” right now and Steven and Monika have made these trends extremely fun by teaching with novelty yarns and thick needles, giving projects a unique personality, Chunky Funky!
.

Monika & Steven have the technical background to help students at any age and any level and encourage each to work at their own pace with a project of their choosing. Parent and child team participating is a favorite of theirs. Join them for an exciting season of creative needlework.
.

Monika & Steven started the Yarn Garage in 2003 as the roving, gypsy yarn and fiber art studio. Their private knit nights have become all the rage. Make sure to schedule a private night at the Yarn Garage."
