From the owner: Our shop is a family business. Joan taught daughter Julia to stitch when she was little. When Julia…read morewent off to college, she joined the Embroider's Guild of America and expanded her stitching knowledge. 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.

So much project inspiration! The owner of this adorable shop hand-selects the fabrics at a fabric…read moreshow and oh my, does she have an eye for drool-worthy, high-quality fabric! They offer loads of classes and I recommend signing up for their newsletter - they don't publish it annoyingly often and when they do, it includes a list of all upcoming events. I also love that they have a cafe side to the craftiness, because all good projects are backed with a hearty dose of super-human powers... I mean, caffeine.

Aside from being rude, these people are either incompetent and/ or thieves. The lady, Sue, is…read moreprobably the rudest in town on consignment, except for the person who runs the second act. Overall, I've brought in dozen of items - once they took about a dozen Wicker boxes and bags and some other items - and six months later I got $20. Recently I brought in brand new and greatly taken care of yard tools. Some of the limb and tree trimmers were even in the box. They're probably $50-$100 new. The next week when I stopped in and noticed they were all gone. I asked for my payout. It was $50. Should have done Facebook market. Either they were pricing in these items obscenely low (although when I look to ship the prices or normal and even high) or fill in the blank yourself. The next week, I took in 2 boxes and a suitcase o clothes... the lady wasn't working and the man took the entire thing, including $100 suitcase that I brought only for transportation, but they said he would take it. I stopped in a week later, and the lady is still not there. The man tells me those weren't the type of clothes they were looking for and they donated that them all to Goodwill but could not provide me the receipt of donation. I could've probably sold it overtime on Poshmark for hundreds of dollars. These people are the worst.

I've driven by here and never stopped because frankly from the street the place looks abandoned…read more And then Crazy Girl Yarn Shop closed, so I asked around and everyone said "try Knitting Shoppe." 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.
