Looking for the perfect vintage sweater is like trying to find a needle in a haystack- except the haystack is made of other vintage clothing and the needle is a comfortable, quirky sweater that suits your individual style. Trust us, we know that sweater shopping can be pretty woolly, especially when you’re looking for a unique item that sets you apart from the rest of the crowd. Fortunately, Rapid City has plenty of hidden gem stores that will give you a great selection of vintage sweaters that will make you feel like a true knit-wit.

First on the list is Carousel Antiques, a “wooly” cool spot that offers a variety of vintage sweaters ranging from funky to elegant. With an average price of around $35, you’re sure to find a “fantastic fleece” that fits your budget and preferences.

If you’re looking for a store with a whimsical name and a selection to match, check out PJ’s Gray Barn. This cozy shop has everything your vintage-loving heart desires, including a great selection of vintage sweaters. The average price of a sweater in this wool haven is around $30, so you can indulge in a “yarn” or two without breaking the bank.

Another great shop that offers a “seamlessly” vintage selection of sweaters is Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse.

Prices range from $20 to $60, so it’s a “knit-pick” no matter what your budget is.

For something a little more upscale, head to A Perfect 10, a “knit-ting that’s a perfect win”.
