I went to three different yarn stores one day recently looking for something in a specific range…read morefor my project. I was so excited to walk into Gina Brown's and see the vast expanse of beautiful yarns. The lighting in the store is bright and makes it easy to see and compare colors. I noticed right away the prices on some of the better quality fibers like merino and alpaca were significantly better than I had seen in my recent travels (like to STASH). I was asked if I needed help, and when I explained my project, got immediate direction to what turned out to be the perfect yarn in the perfect colors (although I did peruse the entire store before deciding, I was just that excited.) I took a little convincing on the colors available vs. those on backorder, but it turned out the ones I'd picked as a potential compromise were better than my original vision. The lady behind the counter (longer hair, with a cane) said she'd been in the color game for over 35 years, and she was certainly spot on. I'm so grateful I found Gina Brown's, and I will be back and bring others!

This was the most rudest experience I have ever had in a store ... who are they to tell me what I…read moream to crochet and tell me to find a different pattern to use cause they didn't have the yarn I needed and to tell me what is appropriate for a baby. I believe I can make what I want for whom ever I want in whatever colour I want and yarn size ... I will never come back here ... and I won't recommend to anyone either ... guess online shopping is the way to go

I purchased a machine over ten years ago from My Sewing Room. I was having problems and contacted…read morethe company that makes the machine and got no where. My last ditch effort was contact Anne. I got in touch with her amazing husband who after 11 years I would have expected him to forget any of the product I own because it's not a product you can get in Canada anymore, HE DIDNT!!!! I was up and running in seconds after I had just experienced the worst three days of my life (tried to figure it out on my own) Michael Thank you for amazing customer service and being able to get me calmed down so I could follow your directions. This is real customer service! If you are thinking of buying a machine see him!!! Thank you again Anne and Michael!
