They are so nice! Spent time with me teaching me how to do a French knot. Truly love this store. Best thread selection in Denver!

A few months ago I found myself in Denver and my first stop was the LNS! The women at Diversions were beyond helpful - advising me on how to kit several different projects. They even let me test out a thread zapper to make sure it worked before I bought it (I'd just bought a faulty one from Amazon). They had a huge variety of canvasses divided by theme and occasion, and I found two lovely ones to purchase. I'll definitely be returning to Diversions next time I'm in the area! The only thing that threw me off was that it felt like there was an assumption I had never stitched before when I walked in. As a 25-year-old woman it felt clear that I wasn't their usual clientele, but once I demonstrated my knowledge they warmed right up! read more

Diversions Needlepoint - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

A fantastic store! Every single person who worked there was knowledgeable & helpful!! They were fun to be with also. I got one of the lady's hand painted canvas & changed all the colors for a condo on the beach. I also special ordered a Fanny pack. I asked for a lunch recommendation. They sent us to the best place for fresh food! I can't wait to go back or at least order something online! The prices were great for hand painted canvases!!! read more

Great selection and helpful staff. Will go back as soon as I'm finished with the project I started!

They were rude before we even finished entering the door. Lady looked down on us from the minute we walked. "You know- this is all needlepoint" she said as if that was beyond us. I found some floss I wanted to buy- asked a clerk nearby how much it was because there were no price tags- she bellowed to another lady who responded "I think it's $4.25." Lady near me tells me she thinks that's right. Other lady says "do you want me to look it up really?" I responded "well only if you want me to buy it". I went to check out and saw a small sign that said "the best part of my job is that my chair swivels around". I was treated as if I was bothering the clerk by wanting to check out. In comparison another Denver store "The Stitching Shop" is so welcoming and inviting. Do better ladies- do better. read more

A friendly and welcoming hidden gem of a needlepoint store! They have a great selection of hand painted canvas and finishing services were quick and very fairly priced. So glad I found this shop! read more

what an absolute treat to find this shop! Drove from Breckenridge needing some yarn to finish a project. They could not have been friendlier and more helpful. So sorry that they had massive water damage and were closed - delighted they are now open. Can not say enough positive things about shopping here. Great inventory and really knowledgeable friendly helpful ladies. Fabulous find! read more

Very friendly staff, and HUGE selection of diverse projects! Will definitely return soon.

This review is from my wife's point of view--she's the needlepointer in the family. She loves this shop. They always have the thread she needs, are super helpful, and have lots and lots of canvanses to choose from. There's always a good variety of seasonally appropriate projects. From my point of view, this is a perfect spot to buy a gift card for her. read more

What a great find, and boy oh boy do they have a a ton of needlepoint canvases, and a beautiful collection of threads. Make sure you give yourself time to shop and search for bargains. I found mine (2 - 3D cookies from LSCC for $22.00 each). Parking is easy and the women that work there are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help. I wish I would have taken some pics to share. read more

Diversions Needlepoint is a phenomenal find for those of us desirous of putting our creative spin into a needlepoint creation. There are so many choices in this store one needs to plan several visits to appreciate the vast variety. Those serving customers' needs are skillful in this craft and are eager and able to offer suggestions when needed. I always feel so refreshed after a visit to get ideas, purchase a canvas, take a class or just stop by for encouragement. read more

They went above and beyond spending an hour with me to pick out a stocking and color matching threads. I feel confident going into my project and know that they can assist with any questions I have going forward. read more

What a great shop for needlepointers! Joanie and Katie were beyond helpful kitting the canvases I brought in with a big variety of threads and helping me get two other pieces finished. They offered their own expert advice and ideas and listened to mine to help me find the perfect fibers. They also gave me some great advice on stitch choices when I asked. Thank you! read more

I went there the other day. Truly overwhelming The inventory is amazing I haven't done needlepoint in a few years and Flora Was terrific in helping me with getting a few projects Also assisting me in get all my materials and answering all my questions I don't live in the area ,but I will be back to take classes In the fall Enjoy shopping there!! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff! The lady who helped me was fantastic. She got the colors I needed and gave me ideas for my project. I will definitely go back. read more

I took my first needlepoint project in to be blocked & made into a pillow about 6 weeks ago. They were so nice & helpful to me. I just received the pillow back today & it is beautiful! I can't wait to stRt my next project! read more

Extensive inventory, helpful people, and great advice. I am a newer needlepoint enthusiast and appreciate having some help finding the right yarn in the right quantity. They have so.many.canvases in a range of prices. It is a great place to get started with needlepoint, or branch out into new types of projects. read more

I sent an email to Diversion Needlepoint Shop on the morning of May 30, 2020 asking them if they had a certain floss for a new cross stitch project. Early Tuesday morning, June 2nd I had not heard from them. While out running errands, I was driving by the shop after lunch and decided to stop and see if they had the floss I needed. They did, and I bought 2 skeins of the color I needed. I was happy about that because it meant I did not have to drive all the way to another shop or pay the high cost of shipping for one skein of floss to travel across Denver. When I got home that afternoon, I checked my email and had a response from Diversions, dated that morning of June 2nd telling me they did Not have the floss I was looking for. That's funny because I was just in the shop and bought 2 skeins of that same floss I had asked about in the email, not even an hour after they sent me the email telling me they didn't have it. That is extremely poor customer service for Diversions Needlework Shop, aren't they there to provide a service for needle workers? They either lied to me outright or they just didn't look for the floss I requested and then lied about not having it. I have been in this shop(or their previous location) on several occasions and always felt like I was treated like I should not be there because I was looking for cross stitch supplies instead of needlework supplies. They are a bit too snooty for my business, so I won't bother them anymore for supplies, which would include the needlework projects I do as well. I will order my supplies online at 123 Stitch or the hundreds of other websites who appreciate my business. read more

Diversions' new space is incredible! They have more canvases and threads than I have seen elsewhere. The ladies that work there are knowledgeable and seem to enjoy their jobs. I always get great advice and creative ideas. I know I pay more than if I shop on-line but I am happy to do so in exchange for their help along the way. I have been stitching for about 30 years and I always find something great to work on when I visit. They have a very talented custom painter at reasonable prices. Can't say enough what a great place this is' read more

What a cute specialty store! I took a beginner's needlepoint class that was wonderful. The teacher was knowledgable, the class size was small, it was reasonably priced, and the training and supplies provided were great. The store itself has a very capable staff and a variety of everything from pre-printed designer canvases to thread. If you're a needlepointer or someone enticed by the idea of learning, this is a great place. read more

Horrid customer service. They treated me like I was a clueless stitcher! I just wanted to find a place where I could meet some folks and stitch together on occasion. I miss my shop in San Francisco. I will continue to only purchase from shop owners who are kind and welcoming. I'll go online before coming back here. And they wonder why the industry is dying... Who would want to learn an art where those who are supposedly educated in it are so rude?! read more

I came upon this place via a google search. Am I glad I gave this business a try! Helpful the minute I stepped in the door. I had two projects for which I needed background yarn. The matriarch had an encyclopedic knowledge of the yarns and supplies. I was helped by two women( one of which was the granddaughter of the matriarch) and they were so patient with me as well as helpful in making the final decision. The granddaughter has a good eye for color. They did not have enough yarn in stock BUT they were very willing to have it delivered to my home out of state! They even showed me a method of stitching I had not tried before. Thank you ladies, all! If I am ever back in the area, I WILL return! I gave them 4 stars only because my yarn has not arrived yet. Hoping to change this to a 5! My yarn arrived in just a few days!! I am changing my stars to 5. Hope to visit them again read more

I happened to drive by Diversions Needlepoint on the way back from running an errand. This store is absolutely charming with an incredible inventory of hand painted canvasses. The staff could not have been nicer. I can't wait to take a class! read more

This is a charming shop. There are numerous canvases and threads to choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also offer classes to learn the art of needlepoint. Denver is lucky to have such a special place. read more

I frequently get to go to Denver, and when ever I'm in town I always go to Diversions. They have wonderful customer service, and can get pieces finished beautifully. They work with me on the phone if I am in Cali, and they are always so helpful. I never can leave the shop without a new project! So glad shops like this are still there and keeping this wonderful textile alive and well!!! read more

It's a money pit, too many divine projects too many fibers to choose from! An orgasm of needle point. I've been going there for 30 years of excellent service, knowledge, and finishing. Highly recommend the fabulous classes. Warm, friendly, and understanding with beginners. read more

Great Shop, I've done business with them for years, but only recently took their beginner class. They were patient, explained things well and answered all of my questions. I really love that they were willing to offer suggestions but didn't push so I could pick other colors or textures. Beautiful designs, friendly people! read more

I visited Diversions for the first time on 8/15/15. I have needlepointed for 30 years and visited many stores across the country, and would rate their selection among the best for both hand-painted canvases and specialty fibers. There were several employees in the store right at opening time who I found to be very welcoming and helpful. They helped me select great fibers for my projects (I bought 7 canvases!) and gave me great advice on selecting stitches. The samples on display in the store are among the best work I've ever seen. I'm so excited I found this store and will be back! read more

If customer service is going by the wayside, the women at Diversions didn't get that memo. I recently bought a gorgeous Christmas stocking canvas to stitch for my first grand baby. The selection was vast, but with the capable guidance of the shop staff, I found the perfect one for my project. Not only did the Diversions ladies share their personal experience of stitching a stocking (they had all done many), they treated my project as if it were their own. They gave me wonderful recommendations for thread types, color combinations and even stitch options. I left the store with a beautiful canvas, gorgeous threads and a huge smile on my face! read more
