Starlight Knitting Society - Wish I lived closer. Will make this a regular stop on my next Portland trip. Great customer service.

Brentwood - Darlington, Southeast Portland

My daughter and I have wanted to visit Starlight Knitting Society since we moved here, and finally,…read moreafter many months, we managed to check them out on the first day of the 2026 Rose City Yarn Crawl. Though they were packed with other shoppers, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We each purchased a few skeins of yarn, and my daughter picked up an adorable claw clip in the shape of a ball of yarn with knitting needles. There was a wide variety of yarn, from cost-conscious basics to mid-priced natural fiber staples, all the way to sumptuously decadent fiber yarns at a luxury price point. Their needle selection was robust, their notions and other celebratory yarn-goodies plentiful as well. There is literally something for everyone here! They also have a wall dedicated to cross-stitch/embroidery with super fun kits. I know I missed mentioning something since it was stuffed to the gills with people, and if I'm honest, I was a little overwhelmed, but we look forward to returning soon for a more leisurely amble.

Starlight Knitting Society is my personal Disneyland! I visited the store on my last day of my trip…read moreto Portland and I truly could have spent hours here. First of all, the staff were some of the nicest people I have ever met. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and were happy to answer any questions I had as they came up. They were also extremely friendly and seemed to want to get to know me, what projects I'm working on, and what I was looking for. Second, the selection and prices were unbeatable. Starlight Knitting Society had so many different yarns and crafting accessories to choose from at very reasonable prices. Despite wanting to buy everything in the store, I left with a Starlight Knitting Society tote bag (my new favorite bag to carry my knitting projects in) and a tension ring. I really wish I lived closer to Starlight Knitting Society. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Portland!

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. She even sent me a pattern and a link to helpful videos since I can't get to the store or workshops myself. Both the yarn selection & quality were wonderful. Thank you!

Personally i felt racially profile walking around the store my first time going there. at one point…read morei had a few things in my hand and realized i should go back upfront to grab a basket, which was located by the front doors of the store. as im walking to grab a basket i realize an employee is following closely behind me and was clearly about to say something to me before noticing i was grabbing a basket, not about to steal craft paper and washi tape. she made some comment about how she always grabs more than she can carry aswell and i awkwardly laughed it off. the whole time i was in the store she was always somewhere near me (the store isnt super small so i found that weird). then when i get to checkout, the lady from before is standing at the counter, watching, once of again giving the vibe that she thought i was about to steal (mind u my mother was also with me and purchased something of her own too and that employee was NOT the one checking us out so she truly had no reason to stand there). the entire time i was in the store, this employee was following me & watching me much closer than the other customers. as a POC this is something ive dealt with before but i never expected it to happen in a craft store of all places. i felt extremely uncomfortable and the entire experience made me not want to go back.
