The shop is in a newly refurbished house. Contains beautiful items made from alpaca yarn (including scarves, hats, gloves, socks, sweaters). Also, has skeins of alpaca yarn. Prices are reasonable for beautiful items. Owner Julie is very nice and helpful. She picked out a lovely brown sweater that I passed over and it looked great on me when I tried it on. The alpacas are just feet from the shop. In the barn and behind lovely white fences. They are so cute. We took lots of pictures. Great experience for the family. (Only open Fridays and Saturdays)

They do have a great selection of natural fiber yarns, leaning heavily toward traditional wools. Thankfully, I can navigate yarn stores without too many questions because the single person behind the register was busy chatting with a regular like it was Knitting Group night. If you're a new knitter or need lots of guidance, be patient.

We stopped in on a whim while we were on vacation, just walking around downtown Monroe. There was a…read moresweet atmosphere at this little yarn shop. The owner greeted us instantly and was exceptionally friendly. There was a cozy seating area that quickly filled up with local women who were there to chat and knit together. The owner makes a commitment to using local sources for her wares, and we were interested to learn that the shop sells tea that comes from our hometown! Cash or checks only (we learned this the hard way). Don't let that deter you. This quaint place is worth a visit.

I've only tried ordering online -- twice, as they had the exact ChiaGoo needle set I've been…read morewanting, at an excellent price. Both times, I tried to follow up on my order via email and phone several times. No messages were returned. My first order was eventually cancelled without explanation; I assumed it was because Apple appeared to have messed up my information (I've never had that happen before, so I really don't know what happened), and since I could never get a hold of someone to provide proper info, I assumed that's why they canceled the order over two months later. I tried ordering again, this time being very careful with my payment information, but again, it's nearly two months later, and I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone via phone or email. Neither my order confirmation nor the order status page on their site give me any hint as to what method of payment was used, and at this point I can't remember what I used, only that I was careful to be sure it was accurate. I've tried searching my usual cards' transactions, but perhaps they show up with an alternate business name, or something went wrong again, because I can't find the charge. Are they closed? Did something bad happen? I hope they're all right, and if they are, that I hear back about my order inquiries via email or that someone answers the phone.

The two folks working were so patient, kind, and helpful!! As I'm still pretty new to crochet (3yrs), I decided to go with a natural fiber and not super expensive (but still more than acrylic at a big box). I think I got 4 hanks, and they caked them for me. They had buttons to match!

When Julia moved back to her home town, she shared her knowledge and convinced Joan to join as well. Cindy is a newer addition to the family, as daughter/sister-in-law and was introduced to the Guild. Julia's daughter, Miranda joined the family business after she finished college adding a third generation to the business. No, the family involvement doesn't stop there. Joan's husband Steve joined the staff after he retired. Her grandsons, Shawn and Tyler also assist during their summer and holiday school breaks. Joan's son, Anthony, provides some assistance with the "behind-the-scene" work. It is truly a family business.

The shop/space in Madison houses about 10 or so artisans who work tirelessly honing their skills. One One Thousand offers various classes to the public where these artisans teach others their craft. From quilting to wood carving there is a class that could interest just about anyone. These creative workshops are the center of what One One Thousand is all about. The concept of such self motivated craftsmanship is a rarity these days. In a world of big box stores ruling the world, or at least America, getting back to the roots of doing it yourself is a breathe of fresh air. The space is big and bright and there is so much to look at around every corner. All the goods are displayed and available for purchase in the space as well. The variety of merchandise One One Thousand has to offer is phenomenal and the quality of craftsmanship is second to none. Whenever we are in Madison it's a must to stop by and see what's going on there.
