I'm looking forward to attending some events here when they can resume.

Ok. I should have asked about the name. This place was not at all what I was expecting, except…read moreperhaps in an esoteric roundabout way, I suppose. As I walked in, my first thought at the sight was "warehousey". The first thing I heard was the soft mumbling "woof" of the owner's dog, which combined with the setting made me think this shop wasn't open. Shortly thereafter, the owner greeted me, checked to be sure I was okay with dogs, and then explained she was in the middle of re-arranging the store. It all made sense then. Woven baskets, yarns and needles. That pretty much sums up what I found here. But it's better than that. With woven baskets hand made in Ghana (fair trade); Yarns hand dyed in Washington state; Knitting needles, crochet hooks and pins (like hat pins, I guess) hand made right here in Siler City (Twin Birch by the owner and her husband, and some of their friends), this is the store to visit for unique products for knitting, crocheting, or uniquely dyed yarns. Next time I'll ask about the name, I'm sure there's an interesting story behind it.

I was able to come in, show the owner some previous framings I had done, and she made the aesthetic of her piece look aligned with my previous pieces that I had done elsewhere. I visited again less than a week ago with a photo that I had found on the internet showing the kind of style I was looking for. We picked out the ideal frame and the mat and talked about the layout. Today I picked up my custom frame job and it's PERFECT. PERFECT! The owner of this store is friendly, professional, and she does great work. It's worth the price. Take your money here and support a local business instead of going to a corporate chain for your framings. Whenever I need anything framed - this is where I will go! Across the Tracks also has pillows and things for sale in the shop if you're interested in that.

Excellent service! I brought a painting on canvas that I received as a gift. I choose this framing…read moreshop because it was locally owned and a female run business and I wasn't disappointed. Very reasonable prices and the owner provided with assistance with picking the appropriate frame at a price point I was comfortable with. It totally made the painting "pop" and I can't wait to hang it!
