I wanted to buy yarn for my mom but I guess I'll go elsewhere. I had my two kids with me so it's difficult enough to actually shop and choose something.

I was so excited to come here, because I love knitting, and I really thought I had found a unique…read morelittle shop that even offered knitting lessons. I'm giving this place one star because it did just about nothing for me but waste my time. I could have bought this yarn elsewhere and saved myself the drive. I even signed up for a knitting felting class that was later canceled. The owner called to let me know the class was cancelled, but I never heard the message. That's okay, I thought, maybe she could give me ANY lesson instead. Nope. She was not impressed that I drove over an hour a second time to come to her store. Whatever she was doing (knitting) was more important than building customer rapport. The person there, who I'm assuming was the owner, was not really outgoing or friendly either, just ordinary. This place was a big disappointment. It has the potential to be an amazing little jewel, but it's just not. The knitting needle display was also a mess. Oh, and her large dog is confined to a tiny space behind her register. That's just plain cruel. Talk to your dog, and take your dog on a long walk!

They also have an excellent selection of knitting bags in all kinds of sizes and prints. Service has always been really friendly, whether I've been there for a yarn crawl or for a random visit. The initial vibe always makes me think their target audience is older and more conservative, but on closer inspection there's plenty of nods to younger customers and liberal viewpoints - the AnthroCon yarn sampler was my favorite example, and there's plenty of rainbows and nerdy stuff on display.

I visited Tonidale Yarn & Needlecraft in November 2018 while I was doing my own yarn crawl through…read morePittsburgh. I really liked Tonidale. It was definitely in the top two shops of the six I visited. When I was there, the owner's husband was filling in for the day for his wife. He was super kind and friendly. Talking to other yarn shop owners in the area, they all had nothing bad to say about Tonidale's owner and had said they wished I had met her since she is just as kind as her husband. The shop has a good mix of inexpensive and expensive yarn. That's rare to see in yarn shops. I think it gives the shop a wider range of customers, those who want the expensive, fancy yarn and those who are looking for something more simple. They have a very good mix of fibers to choose from. I remember seeing acrylic and acrylic blends, wool and wool blends, and angora rabbit (which was surprising), among others. I thought their prices were very fair for the yarn being offered. This will definitely be a shop I return to the next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

The idea of having so many little yarn shops within a relatively small area is astonishing, since I usually have to drive some distance from home.

The staff was very helpful and informative, but didn't mind us both browsing. Definitely worth visiting.
