THERE IS NO YARN SHOP THERE…read more I repeat, they do not sell yarn to you, as a retail customer, except as a bag of seconds by the ton or whatever. If you go there, first of all you can't park, and secondly they will look at you when you enter the factory like you've lost your mind. Don't bother with this. Sad! Cannot buy the yarn. Treated like an intruder.

Once again I find myself in a yarn store. I'm no expert and someone who's into this really needs…read moreto visit. I'm on a quest for a good way to dye pieces of nylon and the hunt tends to lead me into yarn and fabric stores. I've been inside Saco River Yarns several times as I find my way back into the Saco River Dyehouse, and the yarn store is a really cool place. The people who I've met here, especially Lisa, are really friendly and helpful. They carry what seems like a wide variety of different kinds of yarn and other stuff that I can't even guess about, and in the back is a room full of looms, spinning wheels, and other cool stuff. If I was into knitting or making the kinds of scarves found in high-end gift shops, I would be a regular at this store. I've attached some pictures so that people who know more than me can judge for themselves. But remember that since I don't know much, I may have forgotten to get pictures of the really good stuff.

We were there on vacation and were ignored until I sought out help finding locally dyed yarn. Even then the person was curt and it felt like I was bothering her. We did not buy anything and I do not think we'd go back. Honestly the dog was the best part.

It was a nice day a little overcast, but comfortably warm at the tables. The menu consisted of a couple of salads and several sandwiches, and wine and beer. We selected the Mesclun salad with pecans, dried cranberries, blue cheese and a very nice vinaigrette that dressed the salad well, I had a glass of pinot noir, that complemented the salad. We followed up with a delicious strawberry shortcake that was served on a slice of pound cake. All in all it was a very pleasant experience

The store was full of gorgeous canvases many of which are designed by the owner and stitch painted. They are breathtaking. There are several rooms plus one whole room devoted just to threads. The owner, Mary Jo, was a wealth of needlepoint knowledge and eager to share. I chose a beautiful Maine inspired belt designed by Mary Jo. It is the perfect souvenir of a trip to Maine. Although I live 3 hours away I will return often to shop here and also call and have things sent to me. I left still drooling over all the canvases that are available only here.

I made a phone call to the shop and offered to take photos and email them to get an idea of cost but was turned down. I was told to send my canvases UPS to the shop which I did. A few days later I received a phone call and we discussed the finishing. Then I was told the cost would be a $168 for the simpler of the two ornaments . I said "no thanks" and was charged $20 to return my small canvases. I have had similar ornaments finished for $40. This may be a lovely brick and mortar store but their finishing costs are staggering.

The physical space is cozy but easily navigated. I don't know when I'll be back in the area, but this will be a required stop.
