This is a wonderful shop. I don't stop in nearly as often as I would like (work takes up so much…read moretime that could be spent knitting or crocheting, right?), yet absolutely every time I have walked in, Cathy (the owner) has remembered me, and has always greeted me warmly. She and her employees are knowledgeable and helpful, and I have never felt pressured to purchase anything. I visited this past week with a mission to find yarn to go with a dress I had purchased; love the dress, but it is sleeveless, and I need something to slip on for cooler temps. Not finding anything online or in stores, I decided to knit a shrug. Cathy helped me choose not only yarn that went with the colors in the dress, she unwound skeins in order to choose the two skeins that best matched each other. She also looked at my pattern and confirmed how much yarn I needed and what weight (we changed it from a DK to a worsted weight). I know that if I run into any challenges while making my piece, I can go into the shop and receive knitting advice. Skeins of yarn are wound at no cost, classes are offered for knitters and crocheters of all levels, and this shop participates each year in the annual Yarn Discovery Tour. Purchases are recorded on your Yarn Card - I completed mine with this visit and received a $$ reward that was applied to my purchase.

I ADORE the Artful Yarn! I recently discovered this place because a dear friend of mine wanted to…read morelearn how to knit. So I went on living social and found a deal that The Artful Yarn was having. Knitting lessons for 2- for 2 days!!! I couldn't beat the deal! So after a lot of back and forth with the Owner, Cathy, my friend and I finally found some dates that work for us! When we arrived to the store, we both were in amazement! They have everything you can think of! And Cathy!!!! I just heart her! When she discovered who I was, ran up and gave me one of the best hugs ever! She totally won me over that day! The knitting class that we took was very worthwhile. Not only did we learn how to do 3 stitches, they also gave as some history about knitting and some vocabulary. After the second class, my friend and I feel as though we are pros! LOL! Not really, but we are more confidenet know to bust out our needles. With the class we receive knitting needles, a book, a bag, and some NICE thread. They offer a lot more classes, even have like a "help-line", and a knitting corner- where you can bring in your latest project and just knit and chat with the ladies. I for sure will be back!

Pretty standard fare, nothing that grabbed my eye or enticed me to take out my wallet. For those…read morethat know my yarnivore tendancies, this is an absolute shocker. It took some looking to find the shop which is located at the very end by the very large Plant and Flower shop in the back building. The one shopkeeper was helpful to the one other patron but she never greeted me or otherwise acknowledged my presence. Displays were attractive, good selection of tools, prices middling to high. I was looking for a fibery fun gift, but found nothing worthy enough to bring the giftee that special kind of yarn glee.

They are very helpful pointing or taking me to the item, or the area to help me look for it. I have the Michael's app on my phone which I use for coupons and to view sale items. Always take a coupon, especially for custom framing. Sometimes the coupons are for one regular priced item. Sometimes they are for money off the entire purchase!! Check out the clearance areas which are scattered around against the wall or in the aisles.

It is a craft store found on every corner in every city…read more Personally, I love it and think it is a great place to shop for all your little wonky crafting needs. Need glue sticks or stickers? Here. Holiday decor? Here. Mason jars? Here. All paper products...here. It is spacious, clean, well lit, and the staff is always friendly--no matter which you go to. Also, if you decide to take the extra step and get the app, you will see that there are coupons galore for any and everything. I love using the 40% off any item or 25% sale item coupons. Recently, I was there getting some frames (here as well) and ran across a clearance bin--jackpot. Ended up getting so many thank you cards and napkins for over 80% off. Love it here.

This review is more for the customer service than the store itself…read more The breakdown is this: - Service: 5 stars - Store stock, regular prices, space itself: 3 stars Long story short, we stopped in quickly so my sister could get a tree collar that was half off and in stock based on the app. When we showed up it wasn't on the floor so I searched for help. They seemed way understaffed for the day. I found a woman to ask her for help, we showed her the app, and she confirmed they must have it in stock but not out on the floor. So she told us she would go and find it. Ten minutes later she came back with the collar. She had searched so deep into their store room and found it for us. That's dedication. The cashiers were also very sweet. The store stock was a bit disappointing, especially if half of it is still in the store room. The regular prices are SOOOO high. I miss Pat Catans for real. And the aisles are super tiny. No matter where you are you're in someone's way.

I don't use many coupons here because you can't use a coupon if something is already reduced or on sale. Which is mostly the case. It leads me to believe that items are marked higher on the front end so they could be advertised as a good deal at 50% off. Neither here nor there, they have a large selection to appease anyone. I love their artificial flower selection as well as their seasonal items. I have bought everything from house decor to paint or toys for my kids.
