I can understand why quilters get such a stash too... very tempting, although I don't sew much. This shop has a section for yarn, but the quilting and sewing side has more variety in it. I was tempted by a lovely apron, which is funny because I don't ever wear one! Maybe I would though... if it looked like this, and if I made it myself! They offer some upscale yarns in here that were heaven to sink my hands into. I managed to walk away with "only" 2 skeins, which will be for a project for me; I'm thinking mittens, but we shall see. I recently purchased the new knitting book called "Saltwater Mittens", which contains patterns that are supposed to represent Newfoundland, and I'm just itching to get going on a few of these patterns! They have a knit-night on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00. Now that it's on my radar, I will keep this in mind so that I can spend more time looking around. And oh yeah, knitting! LOL I will definitely be back.

Yarns Ewe'll Love is a fabulous yarn shop that opened September 12, 2018! It is located in the same…read morespot that was previously occupied by Yarn Forward, which closed over the summer (the owners of Yarn Fwd retired, and closed both this shop and the one on Bank St.) Louise, who managed the Kanata shop since its inception 20+ years ago, is the new owner and manager of Yarns Ewe'll Love. It's fresh and clean! I didn't realize the store needed a makeover, but it's really refreshing! It smells good, and looks great! They sell a wide variety of yarns, with more upscale offerings. I purchased a skein of "Eat Your Peas Louise!" just for fun!!! Well done, congratulations, and good luck! Welcome to the block! I'm so glad to still have a yarn shop in Ottawa's true west end!!

I normally only review restaurants, but I'm doing a shirt printing business today…read more We purchased shirts for an OSSC sports team, and Chris at OSP went the extra mile to deliver the shirts before our first game of the season, despite us taking too long to get our act together and ordering a little bit late. Thanks for your efforts guys! Shirts look great, and win or lose, now we will to!

I have used Ottawa shirt printing for a few orders now both for shirts for work and for a small…read moreparty. Really happy with the printing and options for shirts. There are a bunch of different brands to choose from, if you do print on Gildan it's worth it to get the "Softstyle" it's not much more expensive and everyone likes the feel of them better. Printing is really good quality, you can wash them over and over and they haven't cracked yet. I think my first order was about 1.5 years ago and the prints are still good. Chris was able to help with my artwork that I was not sure would print ok. I think I paid $25 to have the artwork fixed and changed to a format that cleaned up all the lines and he we agreed to take away a few colours to make the printing price cheaper which was a good idea. Highly recommend.

This is one of those pottery places where you buy unfinished pottery items then you paint them and…read morethey bake them for you to make it a finished product. However, they also have bubble tea. And you can just go in and buy bubble tea, you don't have to be a pottery customer. This is what I did. I got a small lychee milk tea with tapioca ($4.25 plus an additional $0.50 for the tapioca pearls). I asked for in half sweet and the sweetness level was perfect for me. The drink itself was tasty. The tea flavour wasn't too pronounced, but it was still enjoyable. The tapioca though was another story. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great. It was fresh because it was still warm, but the inside wasn't fully cooked so the core of the pearls was still hard. And some of them clumped together, so it was difficult to suck them up the straw. I suspected the bubble tea wouldn't be great because it's sort of a side business to the pottery business, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I think you'd fare better if you ordered the jelly as a topping. Staff were very pleasant. There's lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. The place is a big hard to find. You have to go looking for it. It's highly unlikely that you would just stumble upon it, as it is not visible from the road, you have to drive around the parking lot to the back of the plaza.

Communication here is not perfect but you have to be proactive here and keep calling or emailing. You can buy a T-shirt here and submit a logo for printing.

Very disappointed with the quality of work and customer service at Michaels framing…read more We ordered a custom mat board cut for a picture frame -- it was important because the framed artwork was meant to be a gift in two days. The employee assured us it would be ready by the next morning. However, when we came to pick it up, the mat was cut by hand and done very poorly -- crooked edges, uneven sides, with some parts narrowing or widening. No one told us it would be hand-cut. Despite the poor quality, we were charged $29 as if it was a precise, professional job. When we came back to complain, the employee told us, "If you wanted laser cutting, you'd have to wait two weeks." This was never mentioned when we placed the order. We asked for a refund, but were told we could either take a piece of cardboard for free without a refund, or buy another piece and only then get our money back -- which would cost more than we originally paid. I had no choice but to take the cardboard home and cut it myself. We wasted time, money, and had to drive to the store twice. The whole situation was stressful and completely avoidable. Unprofessional experience. The work was poorly done, and the employee showed no accountability or care. I do not recommend this store for custom framing or mat cutting.

I can't begin to tell you how much I love shopping at Michael's. A great place to find a wide range…read moreof art supplies. Whether you are into painting, drawing, scrapbooking, planner/bujo, knitting, jewelry making, floral arrangment...whatever you can think of, you will likely find it here. Best part is they carry items that suit all levels of quality and price points. So if you are testing the waters of painting, you can get an inexpensive set of paintbrushes for less than $10 or if you want to splurge or you paint by profession, there are also higher quality items to choose from. They also have a large select of picture frames and shadow boxes. There is also a custom framing service provided in-store. Like most other specialty stores, the items you can find here can be overpriced, that is why I always recommend to people to either wait until the item goes on sale or use the coupons that are available through their app or flyer and never pay regular price. There is always a 40% off one regular priced item coupon available and at least once a week they release coupons for 45-55% off one regular priced item. Be aware that if an item is marked as Everyday Value, you will not be able to use any coupons on the item for further discount. When wandering around the store, always check out their clearance section. You can find items for up to 90% off sometimes. Seasonal/holiday items also go for up to 80% off once the season/holiday is over. It is a great chance to stock up for next year. This particular location is busy, servicing both Stittsville and Kanata. This makes it hard to find the really good deals sometimes as people snatch them up pretty quick, but this store is really good at restocking. The staff are always friendly, the checkout process is smooth, and the store is kept pretty clean. The only issue I have is clarity of signage (which is not only an issue with this particular location), especially with Everyday Value items. It kind of sucks to wait in line just to find out that the item you want, cannot have the discount applied. All-in-all I have no qualms recommending Michael's and this location to people.
