A cute, cozy yarn store that's located just across from Hemköp and Forum Gallerian. Staff are very…read moreapproachable and helpful (something I sometimes find lacking in yarn stores, even in the US, when you're not a pro knitter) Although small, this place packs a whole lot of yarn! Beautiful wools, alpaca, baby alpaca, silk, linen, cotton, etc. I think prices are decent--you could get high-end yarns but also get some good basic 100% wool for around 45kr per skein. Similar to what I've seen in other yarn shops, I find that there is a slight lack of bulky weights. A plus side is that they have a frequent shopper stamp card--which ultimately gives about a 5% discount (for every so many 100kr-stamps, you get a 100kr credit). Though, a tip for students--you get a 10% discount for every purchase, so make sure to show them your CSN card! I love this place. I usually buy my yarns here, or go in to feel the yarns when I have some time to spare.

A cool and inspirational design shop in the heart of Uppsala…read more Urban Collection sells stylish items from e.g. Hay, Nicolas Vahé and Tom Dixon. The store is super nice looking, and you can even improve your shopping experience with a fresh cup of coffee - made with their own espresso machine! The staff is as cool as the shop itself, which unfortunately sometimes means ignoring the customers. Nevertheless, the atmosphere there is lovely, the layout of the shop is beautiful and the items sold are very nice. If you are not able to go to Urban Collection by person, you still have a chance to do it virtually: their webstore! No coffee, but the same beautiful items to buy.

I have their classical black cotton travel bag since 4 years and it looks like I just bought it - neat and stylish. Their home garments are of the top quality and would bring the note of innovation and comfort to every part of your home shelter. Additional praise to the personnel: the loveliest people ever! Always ready to help and meet very welcoming. I was clumsy one day to break two cups from the shop table, but the personnel acted very supportive and I really felt like a welcomed customer rather a stupid idiot (which I of course was in that situation) and I would love to buy more from them, after such kind treatment even in such unpleasant situations.

The selection at this place keeps getting better and better! I love coming here to buy cute little…read moreblank cards and notebooks, but everything else seems to have caught my attention lately. The cloth bound boxes with leather straps and the chalk board paint are a couple of my new favorites. There's even a large circle black and brown striped rug I've got my eye on! I also noticed a newly expanded kitchen section with even a few smaller grocery items in stock. Last time I came out with a bargain from the sale rack on three tall glass jar candles at 25kr a piece (which my boyfriend pointed out were probably supposed to be "funeral" candles for halloween... but that is still up for debate. Oh well! HA!) Another great thing is this shop is right next to the T-banna at Fridhemsplan for easy access. I would suggest giving your typical office supply store a break and try out some of the stylish supplies here. =)
