They are very knowledgeable about knitting and sewing. With 27 grand children, I have purchased a lot of yarn for I have knitted many beautiful sweaters, hats, mittens and socks! Designing Woman is my first stop when looking for quality yarn and fabric. I have always felt appreciated and welcomed when I go into the store. The negative review just can't be true. Someone was having a very bad day! As for the remark about sitting, did she stop and think that maybe health issues kept one sitting rather than standing? I highly recommend this shop for a pleasurable experience and quality product. Karin J / Fairlawn

The selection of yarn and material is great but the last few times I've come here the service has…read morebeen pretty poor. I feel like the employees aren't very invested in helping you and if you ask a a question it feels like a burden on them. I had called to inquire about store hours and let them know that I had come by during their listed hours but the closed sign was up and they told me there's no way that had happened. Additionally, I purchase some interchangeable needles and the price that rung up was higher than the sticker price. I hadn't noticed until I got home, so then I went back to the store a couple days later with the stickers still on there. They told me it was because of the tariffs, which I completely understand, but better customer service would honor the price that was listed on the item. They also made it feel as though it was my fault for not knowing the prices had increased (I don't live in Cleveland, so I only come to shop when I'm in town to see family). Overall, I've had multiple recent experiences with the shop that were unpleasant. I'm disappointed since the selection is nice, but given the service I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future.

I have tried several times to like this shop, but after today, I'm giving up. I stopped here…read morebecause I have a passport for the 2025 Yarn Discovery Tour, and for reasons unknown to me, they are one of the shops on the tour. When I got there, the woman who I believe is the owner was sitting on a bench outside the shop, dragging on a cigarette. She scowled at me as I walked past her through the door. Upon entering, I tried to make eye contact with another employee who was sitting in the back of the store. She did return my glance, but then frowned and looked away. She continued her phone conversation, which was apparently more important than greeting a customer or offering customer service. I walked around the store for a few minutes, but then the lady outside finished her cigarette and scowled at me again as she walked back into the store. That was the last straw, and that shop's last chance to have me as a customer. I wouldn't recommend this place if it was the last yarn shop on earth.

Great place. Really incredibly wonderful yarns and fiber.

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!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time today it was our first time there. My only minor complaint…read moreis I tipped 20% because the prompt came up and I felt awkward not doing it, so we spent about $85 for 2 regular size ceramics and 1 mini one. The tip ONLY bothered me because at the end we were the only ones in there and we had about 7 paint bottles on the table, the ladies were standing around talking (totally fine like I said no one else was in there) but the last table that left had all their paint on their table still. So when I asked do we just leave? She said can you put your paints away. It's totally fine except for the fact that like, it took us a long time to find the proper spots, they weren't doing anything and she knew we were in a time crunch, I just feel like if im going to tip $11 maybe they should have put our paints away for us? Not being lazy it just seems it would have been much faster and helpful for them to do it since we were the only ones in there. Anyway. I don't want to come off rude, everyone was very nice, I just don't understand tip culture these days where we are tipping for something that we do all the work for lol (I was a bartender for 18 years so I always tip)

Lots to do, they offer regular canvas painting, ceramic painting, pottery wheel, and glass work…read more The staff is pleasant and helpful. They walk you through the process and lay of the land. If you have been in before they are good about taking a more hands off approach. The selection of pottery to paint has decreased in variety I believe due to the other activities. They offer a party room, which could be a really fun family outing or child's party. I have only done the pottery painting but am considering the couples wheel class. Check their website for different classes offered. The price may seem high but considering all that is included, I really don't find it unreasonable.
