This is a lovely, small shop with a cozy corner around a fireplace and a big table that looks like it's the perfect place to sit with friends and create beautiful things with a piece of string. There is a nice selection of gorgeous yarns, including some local Iowa sources, although I didn't look too closely (too much yarn in my stash already!). She also carries other knitting/crochet supplies that I look forward to poking around more to see. Of course I ended up buying stuff for a new project, but the best part was chatting with the friendly folks there. I'll definitely be back!

Jan, was exceptional! This store was well stocked. I didn't know what yarn to buy. I asked Jan…read morefor her suggestions and explained what I wanted to make with the yarn I was buying. She was so helpful!! I bought a lot of yarn. It was sooo soft & silky to the touch. It should be excellent to work with. Jan and I discussed an issue that if I needed more yarn for my projects, it would not be a problem! I could talk to her on the phone about it. I would buy the yarn over the phone, + shipping and she would mail it to me. I live in Central TX, now that's service!!

Jan, the owner, has information sheets posted throughout the store to help you know how much yarn you will need for a project! That was super helpful since I didn't have any patterns with me. I was able to buy enough yarn for a scarf and a baby blanket and enjoyed the conversation I had with Jan! I real gem in Newton, Iowa and one not to be missed if you are a knitter!

The Knittery Nook has been with me through thick and thin. Thank you for enabling my yarn habits…read moreand thank you for your quality service and exciting selection. I have highly enjoyed getting to know all of the attendants through the years I've lived here. I wish i could stay in Ames longer and spend more time here. This is probably my favorite place in the city. I have also spent over 1k here in total over two years because i chew through yarn like it's a full time job. Will definitely be ordering online next time i need 999,999 skeins of alpaca. Love you all very much, and i am so sad to leave. I'll have to visit sometime.

I love this yarn store! It has a fun, modern vibe and didn't feel stuffy or old lady-ish at all. I…read morewas really surprised to find a really good selection of cotton yarns there. Most yarn stores I go to don't have cotton yarns which are great for Amigurumi (something I'm really into right now). They even had a cool Amigurumi book that I've had my eye on for a while. They also had some Amigurumi animals that they had made up using the cotton yarns, which is really a smart idea because they showed off the yarns really well. I chatted with a person who I think was the owner and she was really friendly and helpful. We talked about Amigurumi and crocheting, which I found very refreshing because most of the yarn stores I've been to cater mostly to knitters. I really like that they had books and tools for knitters and crocheters. I do both but I'm more comfortable with crocheting. I bought a hank of cotton yarn and the woman I was chatting with wound it into a ball for me. I really love that! They also teach knitting and crocheting classes. I can't wait to take one of their classes. I just can't say enough good things about this place. It feels like a relaxed and fun environment. I wish there was a store like this in Des Moines.

We were laughing at the socks with cuss words, and the oven mitts with cubby sayings on them. They have a nice variety of gift ideas up front. In the front window beautiful wind chimes catch your eye. So much eye candy in this store. As you head further in you are surrounded by endless options for your knitting needs. If you are a beginner or pro they have what you need here. There are items for sale that have been created and patterns waiting to be created. This place has a little of everything. I got sucked into three button display. A big option of buttons for your needs as well. So many colors of yarn. The whole store had a warm fuzzy feeling about it. They said usually they had a couple cats but they wernt there today. You could see cat toys scattered about the store. What a fun vibe to come and work on a project here. I would recommend checking them out.

The yarn is high quality and the variety is so vast that I can pretty much guarantee that you will find the perfect items for your knitting project. There is a large table in the middle of the store where you can gather with your friends to stitch (& b*tch?!?). :-) The front of the store has a great gift section with totes, purses, socks, soaps and several other creative finds. These gifts have a pretty snarky tone to them, and I found several things that will make perfect gifts throughout the year! Very nice ladies working here, and I can't wait to make several more trips as I grow in my new hobby.

I stopped by on a snowy afternoon trying to match some Tula Pink fabric. While I didn't find an exact match, I was quickly shown a coordinating fabric that added the zing I didn't know I needed. While not the hugest collection of fabric in the area, what the store had will meet the needs of everyone and perhaps helps in the overwhelming feel that I have in stores with a HUGE collection. Don't miss this gem when in the Story City area.

I cleaned up on top quality wrapping paper after Christmas which is year round paper really. Since Christmas isn't my jam I always try to get neutral paper for wrapping. I have used a lot of it and people have commented on how much they like the paper... I wish it was more about the present inside. lol But I buy a lot of my frames there too. They always have some sort of sale so you don't have to pay full price too... You won't be disappointed... they too have a drive up option if you order oine!

There is a placeholder you pay when you sign up. I completely get that as it sold out quickly. The evening of the event, we brought our drinks and headed to get settled in. Greeted warmly by everyone in the shop. The entire work staff was in a chipper fun mood. We got to select the item that we wanted to glaze. We were given clear instructions on what to do. The room was full of excited adults all there to have some fun. The staff was around to answer questions. They drew tickets for fun give aways. My group of friends laughed, talked, glazed, and had a good time. We were there for about 3 hours. Between picking out the colors and how much time you want to spend on your project. It was really fun for an adult evening out. I really look forward to the next adult fun night.
