Not my area of expertise but bought my wife a stand here. The owner was a total sweetheart, she…read morelet us walk around and when we did ask questions, you can tell she had so much passion for stitching. She was very insightful and helpful. There is one side which is the store side and the other side is for classes. The organization as you can tell from the pics, is amazing. Easy to navigate as well as easy to explore. I loved all the hand stitched items both on display and for sale. Tons of cool seasonal things, especially for decorating.

I went in here today for the first time and will be back! As a newer needlepointer, I was unsure…read morewhat threads were best. The employee who helped me (didn't catch her name unfortunately, becayse I'd love to shout her out) was so helpful, patient, and kind while explaining what thread brand would be best, and she took the time to help me pick out the many colors for my two projects. They had so many lovely canvases, including "trendy" ones - like Portillos, SpongeBob, Taylor Swift, etc. I am so happy this store exists in the suburbs! Prices are typical for what I've seen canvases go for online.

I'm thrilled that the knitting store, Rib & Stitch, relocated here in Winnetka, nestled on a little…read moreHubbard Woods side street east of Green Bay road. A welcome surprise for me is how comfortable the owner makes me feel whenever I come to the store. A great big work table and a couple couches allow anyone come in, sit down, work, or just lay out the extraordinary materials you might want to try. Besides the fact that the owner acquires the most gorgeous yarns and materials, she is also so generous with her time and creative ideas. There is no pressure to sign up for classes, which I really appreciate. With my insane schedule and random knitting inspirations, I would never be able to keep up with any class. Although I seem to knit when a project pops in my head, plenty of other knitters would find the owner of R&S could steer them to any number of wonderful projects. Although she has placed many of her own inspired creations around the room and in the window, offering an assortment of ideas, she enthusiastically will help you with whatever project you choose to do. Just come look at the gorgeous skeins of wool around the room and you will NOT leave this store either empty-handed or lacking for ideas.

I was so excited they put a new yarn store in Winnetka, and I was not disappointed! The owner is so…read moresweet and willing to help you find anything you need. The store is new so there isn't a lot of yarn there yet, but it's very organized and reminds me of a high end boutique. There was a lot of knitting samples, but no crochet samples which was the only bummer. I will definitely be returning to this store!

He let me watch and taught me how to fix it on my own if the problem happens again. Prices aren't bad, about the same as any other craft store sometimes even cheaper! I'm hoping that they get some new fabrics in because it's been the same the past couple months but there is a pretty large selection (can be overwhelming but which fabric store isn't).

My fiance found out about this place and brought me here. Wow! So much selection! Staff was very…read morehelpful in telling us where things were in different areas of the store. There is TONS of fabric here, as well as findings, tools, trim, etc. As a person with mobility issues, I won't lie, it's not the most accessible shopping experience ever as some things are down low or up high. But staff were available and willing to help. Prices were reasonable and it's nice to be able to see material in person rather than online.

They have a lot of handmade/dyes yarn and they even have things beyond yarn. They have sewing patterns that are really nice. And of course, all the accoutrement.

Even though this shop was pretty far out of my way--and I only had about 30 minutes before they…read moreclosed at 5--it was 100% worth it. The selection of canvases was incredible, unlike anything I've seen at other needlepoint stores. So many unique and fun designs immediately caught my eye. From the moment I walked in, Kristen was so helpful and welcoming. She helped me the entire time without being overbearing, and I loved that when I said I was just browsing, she told me to "just whistle" if I needed anything--it actually made me laugh and made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. I also loved seeing popular canvases I've seen online and on TikTok, like the Tootsie collection and other trending designs--it was so fun to see them in person. I had such a hard time deciding on a needle minder because I only wanted to get one that I absolutely loved, and she was so kind to gift it to me. That kind of customer service is rare. Now every time I stitch and look at it, I'll think of Canvas Back and want to go back. They even stayed a little past closing to help me, which I truly appreciated. This is by far my favorite needlepoint store I've been to. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for your service! - Savannah

You must stop into Dave's Rock Shop and spend some time here. For myself, I love looking at amethysts and crystals and any kind of gemstone. I also enjoy all of the strands of beads and small stones. Other members of the family like the fossils and petrified wood. When I'm traveling I always like to seek out rock and crystal shops but nowhere else I've found has quite the breadth and quality that you can find here.
