    Just learned how to do a basic crochet!
    Odanys V.

    I am impressed. I walked into Firefly on a whim because I saw that they had intro to knitting and crocheting classes. Now I have 0 experience with any of this but thought it would be a fun activity to try. When I walked in Sarah and Jackie were sitting making beautiful creations, these lady's skills are impressive. The class was $20 for an hour and even though I walked in the knitting hour slot Sarah was nice enough to go into crochet mode instead. She was a great teacher and didn't let me give up, I learned the basics and even got to keep practicing after the hour was done which I super appreciated. They have a beautiful array of yarns that were high quality and decent in price. Once I feel more confident in my abilities I plan to keep coming back to this locally owned shop and make something new. Kudos and thanks!

    I found this little gem while in town for an extra day following a conference. This shop has a fantastic selection of gorgeous yarns in an array of beautiful colors, and they're very knowledgeable about both knitting and crochet. They're into natural fibers and dyes, so the yarn you can find here is of a quality and character that you can't find at a big store like Michael's. Luxe but affordable, and so many options! After learning many years ago, I walked in looking for help with my crochet technique and Sarah helped me SO much. She showed me a few different options, and I've finally found a more efficient, ergonomic approach to crochet. I also thought I was allergic to wool, when in reality the wool I had dealt with in the past was processed in a way that made my skin sensitive to it. Sarah showed me a beautiful line by Woolfolk that is soft, luxurious, and absolutely stunning - I ended up getting three skeins of three different colors/textures and I couldn't be happier. Sarah/Tina were so welcoming to me, I stayed a few hours working on a project and chatting with them and a few friends/neighbors who came and worked on their own projects. It was like finding a group of old friends, and it made me wish I had a store like this closer to home. Sarah also gave a knitting class to two beginners while I was there, and I was so impressed by her kind, attentive manner. This place is truly a gift, and exactly what I needed after a long week on the road. It really warmed my heart, and I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Chicago!!

    I've walked past here a number of times and always said that if my mother came to visit I would take her in here. She's an avid knitter, and thought this would be a great spot to share with her. I was completely right, she absolutely loved it when I took her in here on Friday. The different types of yarn, just to the feel of the store was so cool! And the spot set out for people to sit, socialize and knit was really cool as well. I know that I will be finding myself here again soon either per request of my mother, or going to get her a gift. Keep up the great work!

    Firefly Fiber Arts is beyond welcoming; the shop is like a second home, where my son and I have been shown so much love. Their selection is small, but expertly curated, featuring 100% sustainable, natural fibers. If you're vegan, there are lots of plant-based options, and if you're fond of wool, you can rest assured that none of it is cut with acrylic!

    Sarah is winding my skein into a ball.  It's mesmerizing to watch!

    See all

    If you want things done in a fast manner, this is the place…read more Things done professionally, i would keep looking I ordered 70 shirts, half different. 1 black 1 white. Both had same color embroidery in front, black shirts had white print in back, white shirts were supposed to have navy blue print in back. First run, they printed all white shirts with black printing, i promised myself i wasn't going to settle, these shirts meant a lot. So they had to redo them with the correct color printing. Him complaining should've been a red flag to just stop the order, but i always give 2nd chances. It was time to pick the final product up, we met at a place in the middle Of his place and mine, grateful for that. But even when i got there he complained about having to redo HIS teams mistake. The McDonald's parking lot was dark and i shouldn't have been intimidated by his attitude to just get me out of there without wanting me to look at all the shirts I got home. And the printing in the back is crooked on most sizes and the embroidery in front is super choppy. Unfortunately i spent a lot of money on these... my fault for accepting them. Just want to warn someone before they waste their money. Super disappointed in a place with 40 years of work.

    This place is great - don't be fooled by the outside - it may seem like a warehouse or nothing…read morespecial from the outside, but this place is my #1 spot for screen prints. I work with P.Gabriel who owns this place all the time for cheap but quality screenprinting and embroidery. He usually has my order in a short period of time and he's very precise about his orders - I always go to Gabriel's first before anything for any team/group orders for shirts, jackets, jerseys, etc.

    I popped in here at the last minute to buy a stick for my new Tibetan singing bowl. I had no idea…read morewhere to buy one individually as the bowl was a gift. The staff at Amadara was really helpful, and the prices were reasonable. I only paid $6 for my little instrument accessory :). There are so many beautiful stones and handmade goods here, I'll definitely be making a return trip!

    Whoa! Look at all these 5 star reviews for this colorful and playful gift shop! I just finished a…read moretiny shopping spree here earlier this afternoon and I'd love to share my experience here on this platform because I'm extremely impressed with everything I found here today from aromatherapy oils to healing chakra crystals and instruments. Today was my first time exploring this extremely adorable and unique crystal boutique shop! There is a large selection of raw and polished crystals, fabrics, clothes, chimes, bells, Tibetan singing bowls incense, massage and essential oils here. I found myself drawn to a variety of beautiful sacred geometry stones and picked out a complete set for myself in a variety of colors. Each stone of course is for a different chakra so if you appreciate raw and polished crystals you will enjoy wandering around this store and find many beautiful objects whether it's essential oils, clothes or sound healing instruments. I was extremely tempted to keep buying more and more; but I limited my shopping by buying three tiny perfume oils (myrrh, lavender, vanilla) one bottle of Champaka massage oil, a gorgeous clear quartz crystal a sacred geometry set, and a tiny cymbal. The owner is from Nepal and he's extremely friendly and helpful. I will most definitely return here as my budget allows and I highly recommend this gift shop if you're a healer or you just appreciate crystals and alternative healing. There's also an ample selection of incense here to choose from. I really love everything I purchased today
