My favorite yarn shop (in Goshen Indiana) closed up so, while visiting the area I was looking for a…read moreyarn shop. Friend and I googled yarn shops in the area and Yarn on Front came up, so off we went to Dowagiac. This little shop is a gem. It was exactly what I was looking for. Unusual yarns from trusted yarn companies. And the owner (?) was very friendly and helpful. When I told her I did a lot of knitting for charity she directed me to the discount yarn bins. There was everything from affordable yarns for every day knitting to the "wow" yarns that one only buys for special people and occasions. Another customer came in and we joked about our yarn stashes (huge but always room for more). Very friendly people! I ended up buying more yarn than I planned just because I was so comfortable with the shop. The choices of needles was huge so I was able to get a circular knitting needle that I had been looking for. It's too bad I don't live in the area as I'd be back here a lot, buying more yarns to add to my stash. It's a lovely shop.

What a great find! They have so many interesting yarns. No names brands, all mill ends. Everything…read morefrom core spun ultra bulky to yarn so fine that it's cobwebby. They even have weird stuff like t-shirt yarn and fabric strip yarn. Tons of weaving equipment, spinning wheels, and more. The staff is so knowledgeable and can make great recommendations. Being weavers, they are familiar with how the yardage descriptions vary so dramatically from weaving to knitting yarns. They can help you choose the right type of yarn for your project and are very familiar with the behavior of the yarns after washing and drying (for both knitting and weaving). Spectacular shop! One of the best I've ever visited. And the yarn is so affordable! Cheaper than wholesale!!!

From the owner: YARN! We sell Yarn. Specializing in Weaving Yarns for Warp and Weft, but also for Knitting,…read moreCrochet, Tapestry, or any form of fiber art. We purchase leftover yarn from the fabric mills when they've completed their orders or if a product has been discontinued. These yarns are known as Mill Ends. We get them in bulk, at a great discount and we pass that savings on to our customers. We can sell the yarn by the cone, as we get it... or we wind the yarn into smaller packages like a 1lb cone or tube, or an 8oz or 4oz tube. We have no control over what or how much of any yarn we get... we just take what they give us. We can't order or re-order any yarn. So, when it's gone... it's gone. We may get 100 pounds... we may get 3 pounds. So, if you see something you like... BUY IT! It may not be there a minute from now. This kinda makes our site a Treasure Hunt. As product runs out... we add different yarn. We are always adding... so check back often.

The only downside is it's very tight inside but I would say the selection is worth the sacrifice of space. If you're looking for your JoAnns replacement this is definitely it !!

I have never had the pleasure of visiting this yarn shop in person so this review is solely based…read moreoff my experience as an online customer from California! I found Michigan Fine Yarns when looking for a place to supplement the soon to be closed Joann's. Someone recommended this on an online knitting forum and I took a risk. They have a very easy to navigate website with a ton of offerings in any color, thickness, weight, and material you could image. The only downside to being an online customer is that we cannot feel the yarn. However, I received a call once when purchasing the pink yarn where they inquired as to what I was making because there were two lots with different dyes used so there was a slight color difference. I was taken aback by how thorough their customer service was and how thoughtful that interaction was! I've attached photos of some projects that I have completed (I'm new to knitting so any mistakes are truly my own and not due to the yarn). I will continue to purchase from Michigan Fine Yarns as they have a range of yarns that can fit any budget. I like to work with the 100% Peruvian wool from Cascade yarns the most and my local yarn stores don't have them in the quantity that I need. I cannot wait until life brings me to Ann Arbor and I can visit this store in person! I might feel like I've died and gone to Heaven.
