    The pretty cotton yarns I brought home
    Susan D.

    Knitters/Crocheter's dream! Lovely shop on the UWS and full of the most beautiful yarns. Loved that the yarns on the walls were clearly marked in sections, narrowing down my search for my specific fiber. Of course I filled up my little basket to turn around and see more pretty yarns in the center of the shop...oh no! Haha.... I refuse to tell you how much I spent as I had already hit up another yarn shop the day before. The friendly clerks at the counter told me they could ship if needed...ha! I've already have more than I can crochet in a year, but thank you They gave me a cool reusable bag with their name on it, that I will use for my crochet projects at home now in California. I also earned points towards my next visit from my expenditures, of 20% on my next visit! Yippee, you know I'll be back. Beautiful yarns I felt reasonably priced for the quality. I'm excited to use all of it as I'm a cotton yarn fan and I had a ton to choose from here!

    Thank you to Jane for helping me find yarn for a scarf project and also giving me hints on how to crochet the cute baby sweater sample in the store. An adorable store for knitters in the upper west side. Very helpful in Knitty City. I will be back!

    This little yarn shop in packs a big punch for its size. Service was super friendly and knowledgeable without being intrusive or aloof. Even better they have an exclusive yarn! Price is what I would expect at my local yarn shop in Connecticut. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a stop.

    I purchased those !

    I was picking up yarn for a latch hook project, but after going here I think I need to get into knitting and crochet!

    Came here with a friend and had a great time. Booking was really easy. I requested the 2-hour…read moreintroductory course for needle felting and got an email response within 10 minutes. The store is small, clean, and cozy and classes were intimate. My friend and I were the only people taking the felting class and there were 2-3 other people weaving. The 2-hour course included 2 "projects" - making a bird (where the instructor introduced the basic techniques) and then making another object of our choice. The instructor was nice and informative but I felt really rushed. We spent about an hour on the bird, which didn't leave us much time for the second object. They were also really strict on time (they started counting down towards the end of the 2-hour session and cleaning up the equipment/tools) even though we started late (they were still setting up when we got there). Fun experience but I just really wish we had more time (or didn't have to make the bird).

    I had a lovely beginner class here. I would call it more of a workshop or open studio time in that…read moreyou are not being taught or talked to that extensively. The staff is helpful and gives you the information you need to get started, but then you just get to quietly relax, work, and create unless you have a question. Once you get started, you can pretty easily get into the groove. I found weaving very relaxing. Before you know it, you have a pretty piece of fabric that you can turn into a wall hanging, table runner, etc. Definitely a neat experience! They also have yarn as well as some some art and fiber crafting supplies that you can purchase if desired.
