I went to Joanns about a week ago and bought yarn that was on sale for $3.99 a skein. After talking…read moreto my sister who I am making a poncho for , it was not the correct color. I went in to do an even up exchange. They would not allow me to exchange. The guy who was the cashier said I couldn't. I had to pay the extra money to swap out because the price had gone up! How stupid! I will not be going back! I have spent so much money there it's crazy! Not anymore!

Would it make sense that you put items on the counter so you do not have to carry them around? Don't try that at Joanne fabrics in Hibbing.... The cashier gave me a large bag and told me to put my items in the bag and insisted I carry it with me at all times. When I said I wanted to just leave it at the counter as I was picking up pans, she said I did not have to purchase items in her store. I guess she is right.

I left Madeline Island and convinced my shuttle driver to stop to let me go in to buy some yarn and…read moreknitting needles or crochet hook. The driver said he would stop if I made it quick. Not a soul asked if I needed any help. I looked, but couldn't find anyone. I needed some basic bulky weight wool like Brown Sheep or something similar to make a hat. I didn't recognize any of the yarn names and couldn't figure out how it was sorted couldn't what I was looking for. I also could have used some basic worsted weight yarn along with the correct knitting needles or crochet hooks. I looked for someone to ask. They weren't busy. I was the only customer. I said, "hello" and no one answered. That said, the yarn supply is amazing. The shop is stunning. I wished for more time to explore for both yarn and an employee. Im sure they were busy elsewhere. A lovely store.

We had just pulled out of the parking lot at Russ Kendall's and were back onto scenic route 61…read moredriving north when I saw a large sign with the words "YARN." Yarn? "YARN," I shouted and immediately spun to my right and into the driveway of what looked to be someone's house. Now, you probably think I'm some sort of hardcore knitting addict but that isn't the case. I just got back into knitting and am in the middle of knitting a pair of hand warmers for my brother's girlfriend. I bought yarn that was slightly thinner than the yarn I used to make my first pair of hand warmers, so it looked really "loose" on the needles. I wanted a slightly smaller set of needles but ran out of time before our trip. I sort of/definitely planned to stop at whatever yarn place there was to scratch that itch of feeling unprepared. So that's how we ended up at Playing with Yarn. I immediately found a set of size 2 bamboo needles for the insanely low price of $4.70. Granted these were not Clover's Takuma needles but they were bamboo and under five dollars. I took a look at the yarn - there is a pretty wide selection- before paying. I knit mostly in my school years, so any skein of yarn over $9 is pricey to me even if it's super nice merino wool, hand dyed, blah blah blah. It's a very small shop to be sure, but the owners are nice and the selection is good and decently priced. Also, if you go up to the second floor, there is a great view of Lake Superior!
