About Rose & Ram Knit Shop
The Rose & Ram Knit Shop & Studio is a warm and inviting place
to experience the best in fiber arts. Located in a turn of the
century brick building in historic Independence, Oregon, The Rose
and Ram invites you to visit and explore the color, texture and
creative possibilities which exist within its walls. In addition, the
shop offers friendship and a sense of community in a way that is
lost all too often in our hectic lives.
Proprietor, Jan Johnson, greets all who walk through the door
with a smile. Knitters, crocheters and spinners with various
interests, backgrounds and abilities are invited to drop by. Those
who know what they want can pick up their items and be on their
way. But the majority of customers find themselves drawn to
tarry a bit and spend time in the relaxing atmosphere.
As pleasant as the surroundings are, the true attractions are the
various fibers you will find, from wool to cottons and blends.
Cashmere, llama, and alpaca offer luxurious alternatives and
exotics such as soysilk and bamboo can also be found. Colors of
the rainbow range from the warm hues of natural dyes to brightly
colored modern themes.
A healthy representation of natural undyed wools can also be
found, including yarn from Jan’s own flock of Shetland Sheep.
Sold as Sheepkids ™ fibers, these locally grown products take
various forms and the finished yarns are a shop favorite. Spinners
will be excited to learn that these locals fibers can also be spun
from roving. Raw fleeces are also available for those who like to
process their own.
For those who are ready to expand (or brush up) their skills,
classes are available in small group format. Taught by a number
of respected local fiber artists, these classes will enable you to
increase the range of items you can produce. Class offerings
range from basic classes for adults / children (simple scarf and
sock classes) to advanced techniques such as Fair Isle and neck-
down sweaters.
On Thursday nights, the shop is open late, with open knitting,
discussion, town chat, and general good times. During the
summer, open air movies and live music run in the amphitheater
(just across the way) after sundown.
Specific shop-time has been set aside for one-on-one assistance
with projects, on Thursdays from 2:00-4:00 PM. (Check out
Studio Walk-In under Classes.)
Shop hours are:
Wednesday, 11:00-5:00 PM
Thursday, 11:00-7:30 PM
Friday, 11:00-5:00 PM
Saturday, 11:00-4:00 PM
