After leaving a negative review, the owner reached out to me and was extremely apologetic and went the extra mile to address my concerns. Not only did she issue a refund, she also made it store policy to post their return policy at the register so that there are no future misunderstandings. I was very impressed with the owner and her responsiveness.

I didn't want to go somewhere I'd be looked at suspect or like a unicorn, so I searched for a Black-owned yarn shop. To my surprise, Gathering Yarns was just 25 minutes from DC and worth the drive. The yarn shop is a standard storefront in a strip mall, so it was both easy and difficult to find at the same time. You can't miss the mall itself, but you'll have to scan to notice the store. The interior is cute with a modest selection of yarn, needles, and other accessories. The skein I bought was reasonably priced, but since I'm a new knitter, relative value is still unclear. I took the beginner knitting class and the instructors were great. They give you one-on-one attention and focus on your learning style and your strengths. I learned the basics and will definitely be going back for more lessons. All-in-all I really dig this place and will definitely be back.

They have so many colors and types of yarn that seem like really good quality. The range I personally saw was anywhere from $9-$34, but I didn't walk around there checking every price. I did end up getting a $9 cranberry color yarn that is super soft and they put it into a ball for me (I forgot what that's called....remember, beginner here haha). Overall, I definitely would go back again! Maybe not all the time as I'm starting out, but, if I do get better, then for sure. I also asked about classes and they said if more are interested in crochet classes they will add some, or I could do a private lesson. I also feel the need to say something about that one star review below that would cause any hesitation from going there. While I was not greeted after coming in (something that doesn't bother me personally), except by an adorable doggy, there are people in there that you can go up to and ask for help if you needed to. I will say this, I definitely wandered around staring at yarn for a few minutes waiting to see if someone would ask if I needed help and eventually someone did after making eye contact. So, in my opinion, you definitely have to just find someone and ask for help. Everyone was really nice though.
