There's a great selection of interesting yarns from Europe, vintage patterns, quality craft supplies for other craft hobbies like needle felting and embroidery. There are both used and vintage items, which is great for sustainability, and there's even a repurposed newspaper machine outside where community members can access supplies for free! The price points are great, especially for the vintage items, and the owner is super friendly & helpful. Added bonus, you can take Amtrak to Martinez and the shop is less than a 5 minute walk, or the downtown Martinez area is very bicycle friendly too! There are great cafes, restaurants, & breweries so you can make a whole day of it if you live further away.

The…read moreowner of the store is an extremely pleasant woman who spent a lot of time with me, even knowing that I was going to be a one-time low spending customer. For my purposes she was 5 stars...but most people would like to see a larger variety of yarns. She gave me crochet hooks for free, color copied crochet instructions, AND put them in report sleeves to keep them neat. Always great to find someone who loves what they do!

And yet each time within a few days of being used it would not be operating correctly. Frustrated, I took it to Village Sewing Center in Santa Rosa where they actually have professionally trained repair people, as well as a fabulous store for fabric, notions and machines. They had it fully functional within half an hour after beginning service the same day. This was on Sept 1st and today, Oct 23rd I'm still sewing happily with a great sewing machine. The manager Skip repeatedly ignored my calls as well...

I go here all the time and ive never had a problem. It was the simplest thing. "Can you return this to me at full price without a receipt" she told me not without the form of payment. I said okay and kept it till I figured out what it was on. After figuring it out I asked the cashier can I return this, this was the form of payment. She says yes very simple. The item was $10 she handed me $1 I said I paid $10 for this item?? She said oh sorry its on sale noww so I have to ask someone to help me. I waited while 2 ladies went back n forth yelling across the store and just kept telling me to wait. Finally she tells me yeah sorry its our policy we cant take back a return so I said thats fine, it is what it is but I only returned it believing I would get full price or else I would have just kept the item and sold it for more than $1. As I'm walking out she says "I really dont care you can take it and the $1" as if the $$ was the issue??? The issue was I would have kept it if I would only get $1 back. Then you go back n forth with all these people and have me wait with my toddler son and act frustrated when I seem impatient. She really could have easily said sorry its too late I can't do anything about it and I would have taken the loss. The communication and attitude is the problem, to me and to her teammates.

The store was nice and quiet aside from Sky Zone's music thumping through the walls next door. Kind of funny honestly! What really made this visit a five star experience was the service. I had a pretty rough hot flash while I was there and one of the employees was so kind and nurturing about it. We got to chatting about my daughter's party and she was so encouraging and sweet the whole time. It's rare these days to have such a genuinely pleasant interaction with an employee and it made my whole shopping trip better. Will definitely be back for more party planning!
