We recently sat down with Kiana Malekzadah owner of the recently opened West Village Knit and needle - an inspiring fiber arts store on west 10th

As an Expert Knitter, Crocheter, Needlepointer and Instructor Kiana serendipity set her on the path to opening her own store when the retail space on the ground-floor of her residence building became available.

Kiane provides us with her back story, opening WV K&N, we discuss the reaction it creates and opportunities it creates for a new generation of artists and fiber art creators.

We discuss the challenges facing the neighborhood, changes and improvement needs and how we can reknit the fabric of the neighborhood going forward.
