A new spot in the Red Bank area will soon be threading together community once The Knot & Needle Fiber Arts Studio opens.

Owned by sisters Marcy Johnson + Danielle Landrum, you can find this shop at 3803 Dayton Blvd. — working as a maker space, retail store selling goods like embroidery kits, instructional space, and gallery space for local fiber artists in the area.

The pair, who both have backgrounds in art, discovered a love for needle felting when they took a family trip to Ireland. After a recent passing of their sister, they were inspired to create this spot dedicated to the fiber arts community.

“We’ve got a really good art scene here, but not as much for the fiber arts,” said Johnson. “It seems like all of the artists that are contacting us are really excited to have a place that specifically focuses on their genre.”

“Besides just the fun art of it, there will be a lot of useful skills you can learn like mending clothes.” — Danielle Landrum

The Scenic City is close to becoming a winter wonderland with its holiday lights, parades, and markets. Forget the Christmas list — we want to know what is on your Chattanooga winter bucket list?

We’ll go first. Editor Haley can’t wait to grab a hot seasonal beverage at one of the local coffee shops and look at the holiday window display EPB puts together + she might even feel adventurous enough to live out her Olympic figure skating fantasies at Ice on The Landing (but if you see her take a tumble, no you didn’t).

Editor Kristen wants to get her first-ever real tree this year, with plans to stop by Courtney Christmas Trees in Southside. She also plans to sip on all the mulled wines and ciders offered this season, you’ll be seeing her cozied up at Elsie’s Daughter + Cherry Street Tavern.
