I bought some sale yarn from Four Purls on-line. The price was good and triggered my curiosity…read moreabout the place. The pictures showed a HUGE shop. I was in Florida, visiting a friend, and talked her into making the 2 hour trip to Four Purls. Walking in, I was amazed! The place really is HUGE - the largest yarn shop I'v ever been in. The owners were really nice, explaining how the store in laid out with regard to the yarn weights. I asked about Cashmere yarn; they had it. Yak yarn; they had it. Yarns from countries that I didn't know produced yarns - Japan. They have their own private label yarn as well. This is a destination store if you're anywhere in Florida. If you use yarn in any way, you will love this place. I told my friend I'll be back to visit, if only to go back to Four Purls.

Every city I go to, I have to check out the yarn store. I went to Winter Haven eight years ago, but…read moredidn't know about Four Purls back then. I had no reasons to visit Winter Haven (nothing there), but I found myself on the way from Tampa to Orlando on a Sunday so I stopped in. It's rare for a LYS to be open seven days a week - but they are so that was a definite plus. There's a decent amount of free parking on the street and in a nearby small lot. The store has a great selection, although I found it to be eaten up by a ton of Emma's yarns (local, but having one wall of it takes away from other yarns they could stock in my opinion). For example, I wish they stocked Cascade 220 since no stores nearby stock it. Although there is a yarn for everyone, and a few interesting finds (Biscotti self-striping, multicolored roving, art yarns, crochet animal kits). I met Noelle, and she was very sweet in helping me out, and showed me around the shop since it was my first time there. Overall, there's a good range of yarns organized by weight (my preferred layout for a LYS), and is definitely one of the top yarn stores I've been to in the Southeast.

Be sure to give them a call to schedule your visit. They are only allowing 2 people in at a time to ensure social distancing. Their collection of yarn is phenomenal. This ain't Joann's. Expect to pay a pretty penny for some high quality yarn (which, those of us that knit and crochet are already used to). If they don't have something you want, they can get it for you. And they have patterns galore! Lora was doing larger group classes and they had a regular group coming there before COVID hit. Now she does private classes for 1-2 people at a time. Classes are $25 per 1 hour session and sessions are as needed. They do Monday through Saturday private classes. The loveable cat Daisy is very sweet and helps make the place feel welcoming.

Thus, I was willing to hunt down the Sewing Studio while in Orlando for a conference. I was looking for fabric to make an Elsa costume for my granddaughter. I wanted the perfect sparkly fabric for my little "Elsa". The Sewing Studio Fabric Superstore has a large room of speciality fabrics. They had an entire hanging wall display filled with special brocades, another hanging wall display showcased wedding fabrics, while another hangin wall display had dance fabrics. I was impressed with the large wall of bolt bins of miscellaneous fancy fabrics. I took in a sample of the velvet fabric I already had for the dress and the associate patiently helped me find the perfect brocade to make a corset over the dress. She knowledgeable discussed with me the best way to wash and sew the brocade. She helped me find matching thread and made sure I had everything I needed to make the perfect dress. If you're looking for speciality fabrics, this is the place to go. If you're looking for quilting cottons, they have a large selection at good prices. This is a full service fabric store that is worth the drive.

My daughter and I visit often, but this time she went in first to pick up yarn for a project she's working on. I joined her about five minutes later, and of course, she had already gathered as many mini balls of yarn as she could & luckily, they were 30% off! After shopping, we headed to the checkout, and my daughter, who's 15 and learning how to manage her own money, wanted to pay for her items herself. Her total was around $120, but she accidentally handed the cashier $220. Without hesitation, the cashier kindly returned the extra $100, and my daughter hadn't even realized she overpaid. I was so impressed by the cashier's honesty and how calmly they handled the situation. It turned a simple shopping trip into a real-world lesson about responsibility, awareness, and integrity. I'm deeply grateful to that cashier for being so thoughtful and honest... it really made an impact. Thank you, Hobby Lobby, for hiring such amazing people.
