    Entry to Cleo's
    Betty C.

    This store has such a welcoming feeling with bistro tables outside, couch area inside. Spacious and brightly lit. Cleo was in the cafe area making a drink for another but welcomed me and asked if I needed help. I was specifically looking for non- superwash wool in sport or merino weight for the Arne & Carlos mystery stocking KAL. Unfortunately, I was only able to get the sport weight in green (500g when I needed 100g) and got a white dk in super wash. There's a very nice selection of yarns but I was in there with one purpose so I didn't really browse. She has Ito yarns and lots of CocoKnits items. There are Lykke needles. She asked me if wanted my yarn wound -- I usually forget to ask and end up having to do it when I get home. Great customer service. I was able to find free street parking just a few steps away.

    This is probably going to be my last review for 2023 and always good to end on a happy note! I heard about Cleo's Yarn Shop from some of my knitting friends at a knit night. I wanted to visit to see for myself and I see why my knitting friends like this place. For starters, it was bright inside, very inviting. Even if you've never knitted, crocheted or done any fiber arts for that matter, you would want to start after coming to this place. The employee (I wish I got her name) was available and approachable if you had questions but didn't hover and let you roam around to feel up the lovely yarn. When I asked if they have classes, she told me that they do in fact hold classes and she handed me a schedule where I can register online. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything and you can tell that there wouldn't be any judgment. They even have events such as BIPOC Craft Circle and Queer Craft Club. They also have Happy Hour--knitting and drinking, sounds good to me! It's a bit of a hike for me to get to as I'm in Crown Heights but I think it was worth the hike and would visit again. Happy Crocheting and knitting!

    I happened on Cleo's while biking around Brooklyn and the owner, Cleo, could not have been more kind.

I stopped by about half an hour before closing to ask about getting a recently bought pouch resized to fit my laptop. Even though I truly felt like a chicken walking around without it's head, the owners treated me with kindness and respect. While I felt sheepish about my request and my lack of of familiarity with all things sewing, their warmth helped me feel at ease. The shop itself is small, as is such with most mom and pop establishments, with Hossein working his magic in the back, buttons a galore in the front, fabrics in the middle, and ribbons scattered throughout. I could spend some time inspecting and exploring each and every texture and color available but didn't want to dilly dally too much before they were to go home. Overall, they were able to take on my sewing request--it was reasonably priced (I think!) and I helped myself to some paracord for a little craft project of mine. Very comfortable space with some people who are experts in their field and provide a very calm and reassuring energy. I'll be back to pickup some bits and bobs here and there rather than taking my business to a big retail store like I usually do. An east village gem!
