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 have 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. I also have 2 kids, JJ who is 12 and Dax 7. We have a pup, Bella, who is a pit/lab mix and turns 13 this year. To top it off, we have JJs class pet for the duration of it's life, and we have added 4 more since we got DaisyMay.
