Laura Benes:
​Yarn enthusiast

Hello! My name is Laura. I am a wife and mother and lover of all things yarn and yarn related!

From making hats to projects bags, even stitch markers!!  

I had been blessed to work at Lake Erie Mercantile for a few years before I became the new owner of the yarn section of the shop. It is now called Knit Picky & Hooked because the title describes me perfectly. I am a curator of only the best yarns (knit picky) for many types of projects (knitting and crochet-I am hooked!). I have an amazing husband, Brandon (not big on getting his picture taken). I also have 2 kids, JJ who is almost 9 and Dax who will be turning 4 in June. We have a pup, Bella, who is a pit/lab mix and turns 10 this year. To top it off, we have JJs class pet for the duration of it's life. You can see  Daisy May in the picture. She is a great addition to our family and we love having her.
