Sociologically speaking, knitting people are a subculture, one that places a high value on sharing, being supportive, helpful, patient, and respectful, especially to new knitters. The workers are especially attentive to customers who want to repair or replicate something a grandmother knit. Pretty divergent from contemporary mainstream American society. I just wish they served espresso.

I would say if you have a specific project or want to purchase a gift to stop in, and they will help you with the selections; however, I just stopped in and looked around and this is what I selected. I really love the colors! The items were around $60 so you can judge for yourself. I am unsure if there are Wisconsinites who make yarn varieties but I think a wall of local yarn would be a great addition to the store.

The second one I used my own frame and bought a Matt from them, and 3rd one I ordered a custom frame, and explained I needed it on 8 days. They assured me it would be ready. They left me a message 5 minutes before closing on the day before I was supposed to pick it up saying it didn't make it on the truck but it was no big deal, they would have it ready for me in another week. (I think it didn't make it on the truck because they forgot to order it. )Obviously, this is so unprofessional it's laughable. I needed the painting framed this weekend and now I'm going to have to find another frame store. I know that sometimes these things happen but I really didn't appreciate that they didn't even have the courtesy to let me know until 7:55pm the night before.

The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago. So...good place to visit...proceed with caution in terms of your purchase.

Value: +++++ Stock: +++++…read moreVariety: +++++ Overall service summary: ++++ I am not this crafty person more because I have other priorities. My wife just loves Hobby Lobby and was so excited to have this location open a few years back. So with that being said I or we love this place and I will write this review to include thoughts from my wife. They are much larger and have a larger inventory than competitor Michael's. The store is well planned and laid out by "crafts" or needs. Always plenty of inventory on the shelf. And from my point of view every type of craft or hobby imaginable besides electrical or RC type hobby. So this is aimed at more of the crafts. My youngest son is in cub scouts and entered the pinewood derby race (2nd time) and I had gone to Elliot's Ace hardware last year for supplies and this year to a Michael's only to need more glue later in and decided to come here. Well now I found out they have a very extensive section for pinewood derby and no need to drive 20 minutes further than here. I also like the corporate philosophy of treating their employees with Christian values and the store hours and holidays reflect that. You sure don't find that too often in today's political correctness. I believe their prices are very reasonable too. Always clean and organized. The aisles are not too small and cramped with stock. So with all of this love, why 4 stars? The overall service brings the rating down to 4 stars. Just okay. Always need to search around for help and usually one checkout is open. Occasionally two. During holidays that's when you feel the wait is excessive. But they probably manage their cost with the labor really well and pass that savings down to the consumer so if I could give them 4.5 stars I would. To me, no need to go anywhere else for your craft needs.

This had everything you could possibly need for any type of paper craft. There was much more variety than what you could find at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. If you don't have a specific vision of what you're looking for going in, the selection can be overwhelming but I still found it fun to browse. They do have a $15 minimum if you want to use card, so be sure to bring cash if you're just planning to buy single sheets.
