I've been shopping at Gauge for years and it's easily my favorite yarn shop in the Austin area…read more Though the shop appears small, Gauge has a fantastic selection of yarns in a variety of weights and price points. There is also a nice selection of knitting needles and crochet hooks. The owner and employees are all extremely sweet and helpful while being great at letting you browse around at your own pace. They've custom ordered yarn for me on multiple occasions and are diligent about keeping in touch about the order. There's a nice setup toward the back of the shop for classes or just dropping in to knit for a bit. They have a knitting book lending library too!

Solid little yarn shop tucked into a strip building. Was hoping for more natural fibers to be…read moreavailable, a lot of it contains acrylic or polyesters which is fine, but not what I go to local shops for. Their inventory is all arranged by size, so your smaller strands like sockweight will be toward the front of the place while your thicker worsted and aran weights will be in their little back room. I didn't see much in regard to bulky weight. The back area also has their discounted stock in a little shelf. Peruse that section and you might find a great deal on something that you need. The staff is all very friendly and helpful they helped like four other folks there including one small child who said they had just started crochet. It was very sweet.

I came here to look for office supplies for my business. I must admit, they sell a lot of different…read morethings. I didnt know that, and it was a very nice surprise. I found some things I wasn't looking for, but that I needed and wanted. I saw beautiful pieces I wanted just for myself, like separate or broken jewelry pieces--a clasp here for a necklace or a link for a watch. Also, I recently picked up an old knitting habit and wanted to replace some old yarn. It was nice to see an area dedicated to yarn, other crafts, and other hobbies. I can say I really got lost inside the store, discovering so much. I saw some frames to purchase to make a gallery wall. So, I will say this: if you need to revise a place or restock on some office supplies, please come here. Or if you just need some ideas on creating a space in your home, come here; it's a place where anyone can get a lot of ideas and inspiration.

I was visiting a couple of months back and the employee behind the counter was extremely racist…read more Her remark was " They look like that because they are Mexican!" I won't be back. I am mixed with European and Mexican but I am American first of all. The lady behind the counter was about 90 years old The only good part in this is that she's probably dead by now. Hopefully.

I especially love the sirdar jewelspun chunky with wool yarn (color blend: mother of Pearl..check out my video for how gorgeous these colors were) where I managed to get two beanies out of a single ball! But the best thing here are the lessons by Carrie Au. I'm a teacher myself and I can recognize an excellent teacher and Carrie is absolutely that. With just two lessons from her, I was able to basically do everything I needed to make 90% of what I could ever want to make. I then had spent a couple of months crocheting different things and came back for another more advanced lesson. Carrie knows all the yarn arts and can do things both right and left handed. And she has so many helpful tips that she's learned from experience that I never saw on any YouTube video or website tutorial (and in fact there are popular things out there i learned from her were NOT good things to do). If you want to learn (crochet or knitting), so worth coming here to take lessons (beginner through advanced). The other benefit is that their yarns and hooks are good quality so if you start here, you'll have such a better time and be more likely to continue.

First, the sheep is sated by her attention to the coffee and wine bar in the shop (how cool is…read morethis!). There is a large table next to the bar where classes and gatherings can be held. Another Very Smart Thing is that the yarns are sorted by gauge and cutely and clearly marked. The person on staff was helpful and I enjoyed talking with her. If I find myself in the area I'll certainly stop again.

Two stars because they do not accept tap to pay, or Apple Pay. The aisles are wide, although many of the shelves have little product on it. They are running quite a few sales depending on what you are interested in purchasing.

I visited the shop about a month ago (while on vacation) and got several different hanks of yarn…read more Unfortunately I realized I needed another hank of a specific yarn after I got home and started on a project. I reached out to the shop and unfortunately they didn't have any more of the yarn I needed. Then, the next day I received a message, they found the yarn I needed! They shipped it to me right away. Wonderful customer service. I WILL definitely be ordering more yarn from Nan's Needleworks. I love to support local yarn shops (even if they aren't local to me).

The employee was super nice and helpful and pointed us in the right direction immediately. When we arrived to the checkout area, we could hear that the employees behind the registers were super friendly despite the craziness in the store, but we opted to do the self checkout in order to save time in the line. The self checkout machine was also easy to operate. We don't go into Michael's often but it's a pain free experience every time and so far this store has kept it that way
