They have a retreat center upstairs that can be rented for day or overnight stays and have a variety of classes. You can become certified to use their longarm machine and machine quilt your own quilts. But, best of all, is the customer service. Each employee is truly knowledgeable and takes the time to ensure you are truly satisfied. I've attended several "Come Create with Me" events and have spent time in the retreat center as a mother/daughter duo. Can't recommend enough!

I stopped by on a snowy afternoon trying to match some Tula Pink fabric. While I didn't find an exact match, I was quickly shown a coordinating fabric that added the zing I didn't know I needed. While not the hugest collection of fabric in the area, what the store had will meet the needs of everyone and perhaps helps in the overwhelming feel that I have in stores with a HUGE collection. Don't miss this gem when in the Story City area.

I have highly enjoyed getting to know all of the attendants through the years I've lived here. I wish i could stay in Ames longer and spend more time here. This is probably my favorite place in the city. I have also spent over 1k here in total over two years because i chew through yarn like it's a full time job. Will definitely be ordering online next time i need 999,999 skeins of alpaca. Love you all very much, and i am so sad to leave. I'll have to visit sometime.

I love this yarn store! It has a fun, modern vibe and didn't feel stuffy or old lady-ish at all. I…read morewas really surprised to find a really good selection of cotton yarns there. Most yarn stores I go to don't have cotton yarns which are great for Amigurumi (something I'm really into right now). They even had a cool Amigurumi book that I've had my eye on for a while. They also had some Amigurumi animals that they had made up using the cotton yarns, which is really a smart idea because they showed off the yarns really well. I chatted with a person who I think was the owner and she was really friendly and helpful. We talked about Amigurumi and crocheting, which I found very refreshing because most of the yarn stores I've been to cater mostly to knitters. I really like that they had books and tools for knitters and crocheters. I do both but I'm more comfortable with crocheting. I bought a hank of cotton yarn and the woman I was chatting with wound it into a ball for me. I really love that! They also teach knitting and crocheting classes. I can't wait to take one of their classes. I just can't say enough good things about this place. It feels like a relaxed and fun environment. I wish there was a store like this in Des Moines.
