Tell Me Your Yarn is Susan Kippur’s gift to herself. Specializing in handknit, custom-designed gifts and accessories for pets, babies, homes, and special occasions, Tell Me Your Yarn allows Susan — who owned and operated a management consulting business for 23 years — the chance to reconnect with her grandmother’s legacy and to knit beautiful things.

The gifts and accessories you’ll find on this site are not for sale. Instead, they serve as just a few examples of what Susan loves to create. Endlessly seeking a challenge and the opportunity to indulge her passion for soft, colorful yarns that run the gamut from alpaca and angora to cotton, linen, metallics, raffia, silk, and wool (to name just a few), Susan is committed to working with clients to design the perfect present. For her, it’s all about collaborating in the creative process — listening to clients’ needs and ideas, finding the right yarns and stitches and colors to bring ideas to life, and executing the technical aspects of knitting with care and skill. Susan believes that every piece has a story and that part of her gift is to express each story through the hues and textures of flawless knitting.

Tell Me Your Yarn — the name and the business — reflect this philosophy and Susan’s dream.
