Bennington, VT -- Despite snow and ice, the Bennington community came together to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon cutting of downtown’s newest addition, The King’s Knit Wit, at 520 Main Street. Hosted by the Better Bennington Corporation, the event welcomed owners, Douglas Cardoza and Patrick Kincaid, who relocated from the West Coast to bring their passion for fine fiber and yarn to the area.

The King’s Knit Wit offers an exciting selection of high-quality yarns, spinning wheels, and engaging experience for fiber enthusiasts of all skill levels. Adding to the charm, the shop also features their own delicious, one-of-a-kind recipe cookies, making it a must-visit destination for both crafters and cookie lovers alike.

The celebration was well attended, with representatives from the BBC Board, Chamber of Commerce, Select Board, downtown merchants, restaurant owners, financial institutions, and more showing their support.

“This is exactly the kind of energy and vitality we love to see in downtown Bennington” said Jeanne Mintrone, Executive Director of the BBC. “Doug and Patrick’s vision for The King’s Knit Wit adds to the growing excitement and vibrancy of our community.”

With a warm and welcoming space designed for creativity, connection, and indulgence, The King’s Knit Wit is set to become a favorite downtown destination. For more information, visit www.betterbennington.com or email [email protected]
