    The results of a class at Close Knit
    Ashley D.

    Close Knit gave me my introduction to knitting. My mother's friend offered to teach me the knitting basics and took me shopping here to buy my first skeins of yarn. The owner suggested that we buy the reasonably priced Cascade since I was a beginner so we didn't break the bank in case I decided knitting wasn't my thing. Several projects later this store is still my go-to. Love the location on Alberta, love the selection of gorgeous yarns and absolutely adore the people working there. Nancy (a fabulous employee) is an amazing designer in her own right and I've bought her patterns. I've also taken their classes and they were extremely fun and helpful. A small business definitely worth supporting.

    They are so helpful and well stocked. Very high yarn. I come up from Los Angeles to buy it at their store. I know I can trust them.

    Great spring and summer sales. Kind out out of the way. Not close to any freeway. On Alberta.

    They've got a good variety of yarn and the nice woman that works there wound all three of the skeins I bought!

    I've been slowly making my rounds to the many new yarn shops since we moved here last summer. I've…read moredriven past Fiber Rhythm several times, but have been waiting to check it out with my daughter. I was excited to FINALLY get an opportunity to stop in during our mom-and-daughter Galentine's Day adventure. There was one person working there, and they were so sweet, friendly, and helpful. That alone would bring me back again and again. Secondly, the space is airy, well-lit, and delightfully organized, which is very conducive to knowing exactly where to get what you need and also lends itself to relaxed meandering when you don't have a specific need, BUT as all yarn-crafters know, the yarn will let you know you need them. I don't make the rules. There's a fabulous selection of premium, affordable basics, natural, and synthetic fibers. The knitting needles and crochet hooks are behind the counter, so you will have to be intentional here. In places where I don't necessarily need any tools but see one, I tend to buy it. (Please respect my privacy on how many size 6 16" circulars I have purchased.) So, in this regard, Fiber Rhythm is saving me (and my pocketbook) from myself! In addition, there are dyes, several kits, and a winder to self-wind your purchases. To be honest, there was much, much more, but I had parked in a spot where I had to move by 4:00 pm, and we got there at 3:49 pm. This was a literal "speed run" through a yarn store. I look forward to visiting again when the parking godz don't require haste.

    Such a beautiful selection of materials (I found the yarn I was looking for but they carry all…read moresorts of fiber related items). Staff was friendly and the space was welcoming and bright. Highly recommend!

After numerous failed attempts at teaching myself, I booked a private lesson with Colleen. Over the course of two hours, she taught me all about operating my machine, basic stitches, entry-level sewing tools, and I even made a drawstring bag! She was kind, patient, encouraging, and a FANTASTIC instructor. I can't wait to take some of her group classes!! The store itself is great. Lots of sewing supplies that are of higher quality and will last you a while. The people who work here couldn't be nicer or more helpful. If you feel intimidated by learning to sew, this is a perfect spot to start learning. Even if you're already a great sewer, you'll find everything you need here. They have a spacious section in the back where they teach group and individual classes; you can also rent a desk/machine if you need some higher end equipment to work with. Huge thank you to Colleen and the staff for helping make my entry into sewing fun and easy!!
