Autumn House Farm & Fiberworks was established by Ken and Harriet Knox in 1979 and has been producing the finest hand dyed yarn and custom carded roving for over 45 years.
In 2019 we opened a shop in downtown Punxsutawney and we often joke that it has become our 3-D art project because every display is designed with color, composition, and beauty in mind.
From the moment you walk through the door you are met with eclectic settings blending gorgeous yarn, lucious rovings, vintage sweaters, art to wear, antiques, jewelry, pottery, and so much more. There are treasures in every corner! Stop in and see for yourself. We look forward to sharing our wonderful shop with you!

Welcome to ChickenKnitz, a cozy, creative fiber arts haven where yarn, creativity, and community come together. Since opening our doors in 2023, we've dedicated ourselves to being a warm and welcoming space for makers of all kinds-knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers, and everyone in between.
Meet the Makers
Jaime Loschinskey - Owner, Instructor & Fiber Enthusiast
ChickenKnitz is led by Jaime, whose crafting journey began early in life. She learned to crochet from her mother as a child and later fell in love with knitting. Today, she shares her passion with others through classes, stitch groups, and daily shop life. Jaime believes fiber arts should be joyful, accessible, and community-centered.
Mike Loschinskey โ Chief Yarn Dyer & Color Wizard
Every hand-dyed skein in the shop reflects Mikeโs talent and imagination. A completely self-taught yarn dyer, Mike creates the vibrant, expressive colorways that have become a signature part of ChickenKnitz. His experimental, artistic approach ensures every batch is unique and full of character.
Our Story
ChickenKnitz began as a small dream between two makers and has grown into a gathering place filled with creativity, friendship, and fiber fun. Whether youโre here to browse beautiful yarn, join a class, or simply spend time around other makers, weโre built on the belief that crafting brings people together.

THE SHOP on Grant was founded in April of 2023 and carries yarn brands such Cascade and Berroco, Mill Hill and Jim Shore cross stitch kits, DMC floss and, of course, a nice variety of frame and mat samples from which to choose for that special project.
