Aside from a good thrift shop, yarn stores are my favorite for a treasure hunt. Noma did not…read moredisappoint, at all. Wonderful selection of yarns, notions, gifts, etc... So many sample projects which I find very helpful being a novice knitter. Best part about Noma are the folks who work there. Jude was so kind, as was the lovely blonde lady. Being right off the square it's very easy to get to, plenty of parking around, lovely cafes for lunch nearby (Sunflower's Caesar salad was delicious) Make a day of it! Go get a Froze' at Sigh ( frozen Rose') beforehand, makes for guilt free shopping!

But my Mom just told me that she had overheard the owner being extremely rude to a customer, so this is a one star review.

So I signed up for a class which was only $35 even though I didn't really know what to expect. There were three other ladies in the class with me. I got there early to get the materials that I needed and added a cute sticker with it. There was a 10% discount on my purchase for taking the class. The class helped me understand how to crochet so much better than any YouTube video could do! I will likely be back for the B class.

We walked in, and was floored by all the fabrics choices. They had other things as well such as books and certain kits or something. They also have tread and all sewing needs stuff, including those fancy digital sewing machines. Those that worked here were really nice. We showed them the sheet that listed what we needed and someone asked my son his favorite color and led him to an area with blue patterned fabric. He chose a couple and a navy thread. Someone helped cut the amount of fabric, and then we checked out. Wow I was surprised how expensive fabric is!! Not even a yard of each of the 2 fabrics, and it was already close to $30!! I suppose the educational value and supporting local and handmade stuff is worth it though, given one can buy a pillow case with pillow for far cheaper. Highly recommend for those that know how to sew and enjoy such crafts. I don't have the talent or creativity, but I appreciate all the different types of fabrics and such here!
