Hen we came into the store we were absolutely amazed by the selection of things. One of the owners was coming around giving out fresh scones they just made for free, which were absolutely delicious. We also got a tour of the entire building by said owner, who was absolutely wonderful to talk to. He showed us all sorts of things about the building and answered all of our questions, then he patiently helped us check out as we were giving him lots of stuff to weigh and wrap near closing time. Everything was very reasonably priced as well! Absolutely amazing business that seems to do so much for their community! Absolutely going to visit again. I could not recommend this place enough!

There's a woodshop in the basement where they make their own yarn swifts to sell (I can vouch enthusiastically for their quality) and there's a kitchen upstairs where they occasionally make scones and muffins and things to hand out for free. Just 'cuz they can. I've heard Seattle natives bemoan that they don't have anything half as good as Paradise Fibers. I wouldn't think to go anywhere else in town for anything fiber arts.

Alpaca Direct is a great source for yarn, patterns and good customer service…read more I recently found a pattern I want to make for my great niece. From the yarn manufacturer's web site I could not tell which solid and variegated color looks good with a variegated one. I called AlpacaDirect and was told Kelly was the best one to tell me. I talked to Kelly who pulled the yarn in question with others that coordinate well. She also had a picture of the yarns texted to me so I could see for myself. I ordered the yard and yesterday it arrived at my door. Thank you, Kelly and Jim.

This location is probably the whitest Michael's I've ever been to. My grandma used to take me here…read moreoften but randomly she's stopped a while ago. I came here a few times recently as of writing and everytime it makes me understand my grandma more and more. The workers here are clueless and lazy. Checkout is always a mess. A few times my mom and I just decided to leave because of how chaotic checkout can be. Today, some random girl came in acting all dumb about balloons and I figured the old lady worker was gonna wait to help her after helping the literal line forming. But no, had to wait five minutes for the old lady worker to even glance at us. And when she did, she told everyone to do self check out. Great idea if it wasn't for their horrible self check out machines that ask if you want to become a member after scanning each item. Besides, I had to go through her to check out some markers. When I said so she said they sold out on all of them and someone else just tried to buy them a day before. So why was it still up then? If you had someone ask you about them a day before why didn't you take them back by now? And when I was over in that section I saw a worker just standing there too. My experience whenever I come here is always shitty and annoying. It sucks since its between Michaels or Hobby Lobby for art supplies. And fuck Hobby Lobby for being homophobic assholes. On my life I'm cursing this location with every bad energy I'll extract from Tyler Catastrophe. This location is spiritually ran by him.

They are an hour…read moreaway from my home but my #1 stop for yarn and place to go when I want to be part of the fiber arts community. They offer so many opportunities for connection from chili cook offs, knit alongs, movie nights, and the recurring Thursday Makers Night, to full on multi-day fiber arts retreats. There is an opportunity for everyone to get together and you will be known by name. The classes are exciting, on trend, and the instructors and shop owners Amy and Nettie will go out of their way to ensure you understand the skills and have a completed project at the end. They even offer private lessons which is a fantastic addition for the homeschooling community and those young or old who are learning a new skill. The yarn offerings are varied from higher end locally hand dyed yarn to more affordable yet still high quality yarn you can envision using for any project. They also offer crafting essentials for knitting and crocheting like needles and hooks, stitch markers, buttons, etc etc etc.

They also have a nice selection of panels, though those are a bit difficult to find around the store, since as a previous reviewer noted, you are kind of on your own to find what you want, as staff seemed to only be available at the cut station and register. They have a large selection of machines and long arm machines that you can try onsite. Unfortunately, the FQ selection is kind of slim. They also have many different classes and some hard to find notions like very large wooden buttons and different handles for projects. I tried the Whatnot app sale they recommend at the register. Wasn't super in love, but I have a hard time buying fabric I can't see in person. I was impressed with the variety and number of panels available. Will definitely be back!
