    I was so excited to be in the shop that I totally forgot to take pictures, but I remember saying to…read moremyself how I could stay there all day, the only feature missing was a coffee cart! This place is open, tastefully decorated, and inviting both in ambiance and by the sense of community that is welcome to all. There were knitters of all ages coming in, including moms with children. Customer service was great. The lady who assisted me was kind and friendly. The drive to the shop was an adventure and it made me want to consider living in Portland. Hmmm, maybe....one day!

I have been trying to find someone to do the repair and have no luck. Finally I decided to look up knitting shops on Yelp, hoping someone will be able to help. I called Nirto Knitters, and a lady picked up the phone quickly. She was upbeat, friendly and sympathetic. She explained almost no one would do the repair because it always looked "not great" (kinda like a thick patch). However, she recommended the "needle felting" method. I quickly googled it and it looked doable for small holes! Oh I really hope it will works! For this experience, I recommend NItro Knitters for anyone who need knitting guidance.

    The first moment we walked into Unwind, it felt like home. As a 20+ year knitter/crocheter, I never…read morereally *need* more yarn or tools, with some limited exceptions, but it's always fun to take a gander. Spoiler alert (not to other yarnies): I have made several purchases in the last couple of weeks. My hot‍ take on Unwind: * Wide variety of yummy yarns in various fibers and price points * Great selection of knitting/crocheting tools and notions * Flawless vibes- friendly, warm, supportive, fun shop folks * Fairly-priced, helpful, fun, supportive class opportunities * Lovely fiber arts community If you have time and the inclination, read on for further details. I knew immediately I wasn't going to leave empty-handed. There's a fabulous selection of yummy yarns here, in a variety of fibers (natural and acrylic), at a wide range of prices, which is wholly refreshing! I've been to some yarn shops where they tout that they only carry "natural fibers." While I enjoy knitting and crocheting with natural fibers (hello, alpaca!), sometimes I need an acrylic or acrylic blend for a project that doesn't require me to cash out my 401K (grateful to have one) or need the acrylic boost for care-ability. I love creating gifts for cherished peeps, but we yarnies know there are some recipients you know won't remember to hand wash an item. (Sometimes it's me!) They have a marvelous selection of hooks and needles, accessories, notions, and other yarnie implements. I was giddy to find they have one of my favorite knitting needle brands, KnitPro. I don't care how many knitting needles or interchangeables I have; I can always use another. I'm also excited that they have KnitPro crochet hooks! I bought one in one of my most used hook sizes to give it a whirl. Unwind is full of incredibly friendly and helpful folks. Heather and Anne gave us an extremely warm welcome the first time we visited. Heather invited us to the bi-monthly Tuesday Social Stitch, where folks come together and knit or crochet in the company of other fiber crafters. We had a great time meeting other knitters and crocheters the following Tuesday. I also signed us up for a knitting class. Without getting too kniterdy™, there are two main styles of knitting, English (aka "throwing") and Continental (aka "picking"). I am a self-taught knitter from 20 years ago, using the early days of video tutorials, which demonstrated knitting in the English style. I've always wanted to learn Continental, but since I had strong muscle memory, it was hard to switch over for good and I always reverted to my comfort zone, English style. I saw a Continental knitting class offered by Anne and registered my daughter and me. We had the BEST time learning from Anne. She was fun, engaging, and supportive. We also met a whole other cohort of lovely people that made the class even more engaging. I've been to many yarn shops in 20 years and I can say without hestitation that Unwind is my favorite, by far!

    Had a wonderful experience here. The lady working was super patient and helpful with my husband and…read more(hyper) kids who went there minutes before close to grab me some supplies.

    Don't order here if you actually want your yarn in a timely manner. Order from Stick Chick Yarns,…read moreKnomad Yarns, and Wool and Company (all arrived within 3-5 days). I called prior to my order to ensure it would arrive prior to a yarn dyeing class. They assured me it would. I placed the order. I contacted them after a couple days when it was listed as "not shipped" and was told it was shipped but "unfortunately the tracking information was not properly imported into our system" but it would still arrive on time. I emailed a couple days later asking if it would arrive on time and got this: "I am sure it will, most packages have slowly started to show up today!" Today, the day I needed it delivered, the UPS tracking information showed up and, upon checking the UPS website, UPS hasn't even received the package. Each time I contacted them, I was clear that I would not need the yarn after the 30th and not to send it or bill me if they could not deliver by that date. I called them today to tell them not to bother to ship it as I would not be able to use the yarn AFTER THE CLASS TO DYE IT WAS DONE. The representative I spoke with didn't seem at all surprised that I was calling about an shipping issue but was apologetic. I assured her I would be refusing delivery and, if for some reason it was delivered anyway, I would expect them to pay return shipping as there was absolutely no ambiguity about the fact that I would not need the item after the date of my class to dye it. She didn't even pause when she told me just to return it unopened to UPS to refuse delivery which tells me the is an ongoing issue (as do all the reviews I am not reading on line with similar issues).

    I finally was able to check out the 'mother ship'. I've been a steady customer of the Beaverton…read morelocation from it's original location, going back 20 years and was happy when the new Beaverton location opened much closer to my house. I have utilized the Beaverton location for all my framing, custom and non for decades. WOW - this store is so much larger than the one by me and has way more inventory so I am jealous for all my friends who live close by. I now know though that it is worth the drive or that I should drop in here. The name of the store IS Craft Warehouse but I actually rarely buy craft supplies. I happened to be nearby to see a movie and I have been needing to get four different frames for new art. I love wandering through a craft store though. Sometimes I find stuff (who am I kidding...usually I find A LOT of stuff) and sometimes I find ideas. I will say that the Craft Warehouse in Beaverton does seem to have a lot more creative ideas throughout done by employees with the different things they have for sale which I always find super inspiring. I have purchased so many things for home décor here. I have cats so having real indoor plants is rather challenging. Fake succulents are great and Craft Warehouse has some of the best ones at great prices. They have a lot of things I have not found at other craft stores.
