I can't say enough good things about A Likely Yarn! When I messaged them about having my daughter's…read more11th birthday party there, they jumped into action and put together a lovely party package for her and her friends that was tailored for them. I really appreciate all the thought and effort that went into creating my daughter's wish of having a Yarn themed birthday party. Our teachers, Maddie and Candi were fantastic hosts and worked with each girl individually. Thanks again! What a great day!

We were traveling from DC back home to NC and stopped at this shop. It's adorable! Close to the…read moreinterstate and easy to find. Plenty of parking. Cute town too if you were going to stop somewhere for lunch. So there is a lot of yarn to choose from, really cute notions/stitch markers and project bags (adorable), good selection of amigurumi yarn too. There is a local dyer who supplies the store with her yarn and her color sense is gorgeous! The employees were very nice and helpful but they have no problem letting you just look around until that souvenir yarn starts telling you to "take me home" :). I think it will be a regular pit stop for me when we head north again :).

Even the little dachshund says hello. The TLC you get from the staff as they assist you is just a part of this venues charm. They even find you a reduced product if possible that fits your searching needs. Who does this anymore? This is what small town shopping should be like everywhere. Gotta Love it!

I was visiting my in-laws in the Asheville area, and because I'm a fiber artist and a YouTuber, I…read morewanted to do a video about the different yarn stores in the area. I ended up visiting four stores, and this one was one of my favorites! This is the biggest yarn store I've ever been in! The service was fantastic, and they had the largest selection of yarn I had ever seen! They also had fiber for spinning yarn, so I purchased fiber that was a blend of wool from a local farmer. I have used some of it in a project I'm working on. I also bought some yarn that had been dyed by the owner. I wish I could have bought more, but I still had more shops to visit and I didn't want to spend too much!

I had previously been here when owned by Donna, and stopped in as part of the yarn tour. First,…read morevery low quantities and the selection is obviously dwindled. No more Magpie, Lola's Yarn or Malabrigo. Doubtful they even have sweater quantity on what else they have. Second, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Any other LYS I have been to I am always welcomed, asked if I needed help, etc. Not here--I got a "hello, how ya doing" and that was it. I won't be stopping here again. Very disappointing how much BMYS has gone downhill.

We went into the Michaels at 5:45 PM. They were open with customers. We had a shopping cart full of…read moreitems and were getting ready to check out but needed to use the restroom. I asked an older female employee if I could use the restroom prior to checking out and she said "no" that the restroom was closed for the evening for customers and told me to walk across the parking lot to the Safeway. Note that it was raining at the time. This was extremely unprofessional, and we left without purchasing any items and will not be returning. I would have been a paying paying customer and there is no reason unless it was out of service that I should Not have been allowed to use the restroom that is designated for customers. They even had the restroom area barricaded so you could not get to it. The female employee did not say the restrooms were broken she simply said they were closed for the evening, Yet they were open for at least another hour. I hope Management addresses this matter. I understand having to monitor the restrooms in stores due to People that misuse them but that's not me. I should Not be prohibited because of those that do. I am very Disappointed with Michael's in Alameda as this has not been an issue in any of the other Michael's I frequent.

This can be a good or bad thing, depending on if you're prone to impulse shopping. I appreciate that they have self checkout and they have a bathroom that doesn't require a code or talking to an employee to access. There are frequently some items on sale. I was surprised that it's end of August but they already supposedly have some Halloween decor on sale. I was able to buy a large quantity of stickers and then apply a discount code so that it was fairly inexpensive. They often sell candles at a pretty cheap price, compared to other places. A friendly store employee at the checkout checked in on me just to make sure everything was okay and let me know to ask them if I had any questions. There's plenty of parking in this plaza, but also a couple of AC Transit bus stops within 5 mins walking.
