Chix with Stix opened on Main Street in downtown Lenoir, North Carolina in September 2007. In 2018, we outgrew our space and relocated to Thrift Shopping Center on Morganton Boulevard. The store is an expression of our love for needle arts and our wish to make a positive contribution to and through community. Our approach is personal and attentive, and we are highly committed to providing quality products at reasonable prices. We are incredibly grateful to our dedicated staff who hold space for learning and community by reliably and generously sharing their time and expertise. We are equally blessed with an amazing community/clientele who truly make this place and what we do special. We invite you to join us simply to browse the shelves, to take a class, to come for our weekly group knits and to get as involved as you feel inspired to be. Because of you -- THIS PLACE MATTERS!
