Two women wearing baseball caps and smiling are sitting outside on a sunny day. One is spinning yarn on a brown wooden spinning wheel and the other is knitting. The background is a brick storefront with a large window.

Who We Are

Kate and Mackenzie first met in 1994 when Mack pickpocketed Kate by her locker at school. A classic start to a long lasting friendship, and over 30 years later they haven’t gotten sick of each other yet.

More recently, Mack and Kate both found themselves falling deeper and deeper into the fiber-related rabbit hole (and sheep, and goat, and alpaca…you get the idea) and wanted to find other cool folks who can’t sit still (and whose weapon of choice happens to be fiber related), so they decided to start a business. As you do.

Whether you’re a shop regular or you’re just checking us out online, we’re glad you found us (and you didn’t even have to get pickpocketed by your locker to get here).

Thanks for checking out Idlenot, and don’t forget our motto:

Be Awesome Today.
