You'll find unique items if you're searching for a little gift for your favorite knitter or crocheter. They don't sell knitting patterns, but you can easily find these online. They have some knitted sample pieces for inspiration and examples of what a yarn would look like knitted up. The lady at the shop is so warm, friendly and helpful. The store even has a small seating area, for knitting get togethers, and also a patio in the back. It's a relaxing area to knit on a nice day. I've never had any difficulty finding parking in the area.

Great selection. I loved walking inside (after all, I went in with my partner spontaneously and had…read moreno plans to buy anything.) I haven't knitted in years but was recently traveling in Copenhagen with a friend and she made a point to visit so many yarn stores, I think it rubbed off on me. Anyways, no one greeted us. There were a few customers in the store while some women were crocheting or knitting at a table in the back. We walked by them (I even scooted a chair in) to look at yarns and they didn't stand up or say anything. Finally, dad and his daughter walked over saying they wanted to buy something so I went over to get in line behind them with some yarns. Bad service, nice selection of yarn as well as books and patterns and accessories. Not cheap but organized nicely and easy-to-find items (which is important when there's no one there to help you.)

They even said Jody Long had visited the shop in person- wow! They had plenty of wool, alpaca, silk, and more-- a good, high-end selection overall. The two women who were working were very nice and provided me with a lot of feedback (when asked) on yarns for various projects. I loved their cute Pride display and left with some beautiful Juniper Moon Cumulus yarn. If they'd had more in the colorway I'd chosen, I would have bought more. I don't visit Half Moon Bay frequently, but if I find myself in the area again, I will definitely stop by.

Now after all these years and now being retired and having the time, I'm ready to expand my skills. Now let me preface the fact I'm a lefty, so this is probably why I never went further that a simple stitch/blanket. But now you can find videos and tutorials, yay! So... off to the yarn shop. I mean Michael's has yarn for basic projects, but if feel it's time to step it up! During the pandemic I visited this shop with my friend who was looking for quality yarn at the time. Today I felt I'd go back and check out what they could offer for a burgeoning beginner/intermediate like me. The owner Marsha greeted me when I came in and was so helpful with all my questions (and I had a lot of questions!) she was very patient and kind. She helped me find a nice cotton yarn that wasn't too expensive since it's my first time doing a project like this one, and gave me some good tips on working with this kind of yarn. So also told me I can always come and sit at the large table with a project and sit and work on a project if I want too and time. So yes, this yarn may be a bit more expensive that you are used too if it's your first time at a proper Yarn shop, but these yarns are lovely and the qualities are beautiful. It's really a lovely little shop.

The class helped me understand how to crochet so much better than any YouTube video could do! I will likely be back for the B class.

When we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and bustling scene. A knitting workshop was in full swing with about 15 women attentively listening to a presentation. It felt like a true hub for knitters. The store was neatly organized, with shelves full of beautiful yarn in all colors and textures. Alongside the yarn were various hand-knitted items available for sale. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and for a Sunday afternoon, the store was packed which, judging by the atmosphere, is probably the norm for them. My aunt approached the front desk and spoke with a staff member about her sweater. The woman was kind, informative, and wrote down helpful details about when their repair expert would be in. She even provided a business card for follow-up. Although we didn't make any purchases this time, I was impressed by how well-stocked and inviting the store was. As someone who doesn't knit, I could still see how this would be a dream spot for any knitting enthusiast offering not just supplies, but community and expertise. 5 out of 5 - for the welcoming vibe, knowledgeable staff, and well-organized space. If I ever take up knitting, this is where I'd go.

There's a great selection of interesting yarns from Europe, vintage patterns, quality craft supplies for other craft hobbies like needle felting and embroidery.

The price points are great, especially for the vintage items, and the owner is super friendly & helpful. Added bonus, you can take Amtrak to Martinez and the shop is less than a 5 minute walk, or the downtown Martinez area is very bicycle friendly too!

I could write 5,000 words about this yarn shop, but instead of going into all of that, I'll just say that this "yarn shop" (I use that term loosely), is located in a woman's house and it takes up about a 8x10 space right off of the garage. The yarns are okay...nothing you wouldn't find at other shops. The lady that owns the shop, Adela is as sweet as can be. It pains me to write this review because Adela is extremely nice and personable, but her selection of yarn is minimal and it's a little weird that it's right out of her house. If you're in Calistoga and in desperate need of yarn, go ahead and visit - Adela will definitely appreciate it, but otherwise, just keep on driving.
