There's also some really beautiful and unique vintage patterns as well. If you have an idea what you're looking for ask the owner. Buddy (the owner) is extremely kind, knowledgable, and funny. Some of these comments about him are just plain rude. The store has been in business for 97 years and I hope it continues to be a staple in the loop. I also hope anyone that is interested will give this place a shot, especially if you'd like to support a local business.

No point ever going anywhere else for my fabric and trim needs. Got my curtains, upholstery, and throw pillow fabrics all for about fifty dollars. TDO is an amazing place for decorators, quilters, and costumers. I don't know for certain, but I think the inventory has to be mostly mill ends, or the prices could never be this low. So don't expect the very newest fashions, but do expect good value for your projects.

The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, but also let you shop around without bothering! I bought a few skeins and came a few days later to exchange (I had mad color regret)- they recommended I buy an extra skein (I would've been pushing it) and said I can just come back and return it if I didn't use it (as long as it's in its original condition)! They had a decent selection from a variety of brands, mostly smaller names and a few local which was cool! I though the prices were fair, but definitely a local yarn shop price. My only complaint is I wish their mohair selection was larger. They only really had 1-2 brands and the color range was pretty limited. However, would definitely recommend checking it out!
