I went in desperate with a damaged sweater I had made. She stopped what she was doing and spent over an hour both helping me fix my sweater and assisting me with a pattern I didn't understand.

When you're making pieces that you want to last for many years you look for quality yarn and they have top set yarns, roving materials, looms etc. If you are into the fiber arts you will not be disappointed with this gem! Can't wait to go back!

Oh yarn, looks like this store is one of the best places to buy yarn in Chicago!…read more This shop is right next to Jones College Prep. The entrance is a bit confusing, just use the directory and they will buzz you in! The selection was great- everything from larger brands like Rowan and Cascade, to local hand dyers like Leading Men! I also thought their prices were pretty fair for a local yarn shop (e.g. skein of Rowan Made Alpaca Haze was $10 vs online is ~$8.80). The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. They will point you in the right direction but also let you browse alone (when choosing colors I need full concentration). They also offer a range of classes too! Overall, would definitely recommend this yarn shop!

100% recommend Yarnify! I visited while on a work trip. Yarnify offered an incredible variety of…read moreyarn from hand spun to value acrylic. They also offered reasonably priced hooks and needles, allowing me to complete a whole project on the flight home with some GORGEOUS yarn I could not pass up. The storefront is in a complex that requires you to buzz in. Don't be thrown off! There is great signage and the staff is ready to welcome you.

I bought my wife a "sewing and machine package" for $566.00. When my wife finished the class and…read morebrought the machine home, it was not the machine that I purchased. In fact it was a machine that retailed for almost $400 less than what I paid. Ginger insisted I was mistaken and refused to make it right. She is a thief and con artist and took the magic out of sewing for my wife. Shame on you Ginger. I also contacted Bernina to let them know about her shady business practices.

I will not be back. My wife was in the store by herself between 12:30-1:30. Customer who came in after her, told the sales people that my wife was there first, and they should help my wife before herself.

Lovely, spacious, welcoming. How I wish they were closer!…read more It's about 40 miles from home but worth the trip. Plenty of free parking and some good lunch spots nearby.

Friendly staff and customers, a place to stitch and share, great space, great lighting, great selection. Be sure to check out the vintage tape edging machine.

The quality is superb & absolutely cannot be beaten by anyone I've shopped with previously. You cannot go wrong with this seller!

Since my first step into this business I have had only fantastic service and advice. I have met many crafters in this store and they all have said wonderful things about the shop and owner.

I recommend this store to everyone wanting a positive experience for knitting, painting, quilting, sewing, or just to hang out with fellow crafters. Everyone is always welcomed and offered help and assistance....which you will NEVER get at a "big store!"

The owner took a real interest in helping me and showing me local products. I wasn't sure what to expect walking in, as their website doesn't show their products. However there was an impressive selection to choose from, one that I felt encompassed a wide price point which I appreciated. There was lots of different brands/ fibers/ weights ranging from $4 to $30 (all great quality). A great store for garment/ sock knitters like myself, I did also spot some unique fibers that would be great for other items like bags or amigurumi. One thing I would suggest is maybe providing baskets to carry around since I bought so much!

I walked in on a Sunday around 2pm. I was never greeted by any person. There were two tables of…read morepeople knitting in groups. There was a strong odor of cigarette smoke outside the shop, but thought this could have been from someone smoking outside. Nope. The strong smoke odor permeated throughout the shop. I spent about 15 minutes in the shop, picking up several different skeins of yarn to inspect the fibers and composition. No one was at the register. I'm not even sure if anyone there was working or not. It felt like I had entered a party that I was not invited to. Strange experience. I wanted to support a local business instead of Michaels, but walked out without a purchase. Even as I was exiting there was no greeting of any kind.

Holy cow, she rocks. Highly recommend for anyone to go to her for knit/crochet advice. Or even if you need a repair. She even offers classes, (how cool is that!) A very passionate and talented lady.
