With only a few hours in Berlin I had to chose one yarn shop to visit. I made the right choice. If…read moreonly budget and luggage restrictions had allowed, I would have carted off a lot of their wonderful yarn selections. I was pleased to see that there were quite a few customers in the shop. I didn't mind waiting for service. The clerks were kind, attentive and knowledgeable. I only wish I had had more time to spend. I highly recommend this shop for fiber, and fabric crafters.

I'm very lucky that this is my local neighborhood shop. Whoever is doing the ordering has such…read moregreat taste, I feel like the selection is curated specifically for me. I even bought a sweater there once because it was so similar to the one I was buying yarn to knit myself! The only thing I don't absolutely love is that they only carry wooden needles, which I hate. I'm way too hard on equipment for wooden needles. Breaky breaky. They have a great range of prices and yarn weights. No ultra-cheep plasticky garbage yarn, no tasteless gnarly novelty yarn (only cool, intriguing novelty yarn in appropriately curated quantities). Also, the people who work there are extremely helpful and friendly.

Friendly and well stocked - some interesting and unique items. Would absolutely recommend…read more Excellent service too!!

Only German brands and something from Paper Mania (which is already good) but no trace of brands such as Graphic 45, Prima Marketing, Tim Holtz, Marion Smith Design and so on.. Basically if you are into scrapbooking and altered art, it's way better and convenient to order online. On the bright side, they have a good selection of painting supply. Some of the people of the staff are friendly and competent. Some others just run away as soon as they understand that you're in need of help, but that's quite the standard here. Pity because this shop could be marvelous if only the buyer would be more active and updated to the latest trends.

Such a feast for the knitting enthusiast like me. I have a tradition of buying local high quality…read moresock yarn from places I visit and then knit myself a pair of socks as a souvenir! The point is the one skein fits in your luggage. Fadeninsel had local hand dyed yarn by a German woman. Absolutely gorgeous. The woman working there was in the process of knitting up a swatch scarf of a new yarn and I was obsessed with it and had to by that too! Then I saw the cashmere and you know what comes after feeling it....yep out came the credit card . The staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely spent more than I planned to but extremely happy with my haul! They all spoke fluent English.
