I came away impressed: A great shop near central Cambridge. I arrived looking for a knitting needle…read morethat I neglected to bring with me from the US. Seeing the front window filled with sewing machines, I worried that the focus was too much on sewing to have much for knitters -- but I was dead wrong. Most of the back room was devoted to yarn, needles and other knitting notions and patterns. None of the expensive high-end brands (Madelinetosh, etc.) and a lot of baby yarn and blends (not my thing) but loads of solid yarn choices, including a whole case filled with Opal and Trekking sock yarn. And I was blown away to see SPINNING FIBER (roving); not many craft stores carry this! Helpful, friendly sales clerks. Expert advice, too: one of the two clerks was offering a customer some rather sophisticated advice about yarn substitutions for a pattern. I would be delighted to have a shop like this near my home.

I speak American... that is probably why no one understood me when I kept asking around for a yarn…read moreshop. When someone finally figured out I wanted knitting wool (even though I crochet, not knit... important difference), this was the place that was recommended to me. It is a cute little shop, but it is small, a little difficult to maneuver if there are lots of people and/or you have lots of bags from shopping. They do have some items for those of us that crochet (hooks and such), but again it seems as though it is more focused on the knitters. In fact, the ladies in the shop seem to look at me strange when I mention crochet, it could very well be my American accent, but since I have been in a number of times, I think it is the crochet bit that trips them up. They have a nice selection of yarns, although, it seems to be the same stuff all the time. It would be nice to see some featured yarns. One of the ladies has mentioned to me that if they are out of something that I need, i.e. more of a yarn to finish something, they can order it, if it is still available. So that is always helpful. They also have some fabric and ribbons, which is nice. It is a bit pricey, compared to the lady who used to come to market on Saturday with lots of selection for fairly cheap. The ladies are usually very helpful and at least one of them is very friendly and quick to suggest an item.

This is a great shop on St. Johns street (Just off the main market square) which is a treasure…read moretrove of stuff for the crafty minded.
