Lovely little yarn store with a large collection of Isager brand yarn plus other beautiful yarns,…read moreknitting notions, and gifts. There is also a great selection of books and a chair and table so you can peruse for a bit. I was desperate for a knitting project during my travels and I found a great selection of sock yarns. Perfect! They had some sock kits, too! The employees were kind to let me read for a chunk of the morning, but I DID buy a bag of sock yarns, needles, and other fun stuff!

I was in Oslo for a business trip and had a small knitting project with me. I am not a very…read moreexperienced knitter and, of course, made a mistake which I could not correct myself. I found this knitting shop on the Internet and during our lunch break I walked over to Fru Kvist to ask for help. The woman in the shop could not have been nicer or more friendly. She was kind enough to fix my error and put me on the right path in about two seconds flat. The shop itself is absolutely beautiful with an amazing collection of gorgeous yarns. I certainly did not resist the temptation to buy three skeins of a lovely cotton/wool yarn, especially since my welcome had been such a warm one!

I got excellent service in this store. On the website I saw that "they" had some hats I was…read moresearching for. I asked them about the hats, because I couldn't find them in the store. They had the hats, but in a drawer difficult to reach without having to move everything from the window display. So they did, and I decided to sign up on Yelp so I could give them a positive review. Other positive things: - The store in Storo Storsenter was not full of people, and made it comfortable to walk around. -The TGR stores in general have very good prices on everything they sell. I'm a sucker for bargains. Negative things: - The store in Storo Storsenter is a lot smaller than the store in Arkaden (Storo is about the same sice as the one in Markveien), but you can still find many of the things you're looking for. I'll give them full score anyway. - The website is for TGR in general. It shows some of the things they have for sale in the stores, but it would be much appreciated if they showed all the things they sell, as many stores do that nowadays. If I search for something I always search on the web before visiting stores.
