I am in the Richmond area for a college sporting event. I had a few hours free and went to visit…read morethis yarn store. It was HUGE! Filled with hand dyed yarns from local dyers. Lots of examples of what you can make with yarns. Great notions and project bags. They offer virtual shopping as well. I needed quite a bit of yarn for my project, so while I am in love with some of the locally dyed yarn selection, I did buy a commercial brand. It is gorgeous and perfect for the cardigan I want to make. Staff was so helpful; spent time with me helping to pick the yarn out and match the colors. I got a great project bag with sheep. I could have spent more money, but there is a budget involved! If you're in the area, this is a go too. Even if you cannot get there, sign up for a virtual shopping tour! I will definitely be back.

When it comes to yarn in Richmond proper, this is definitely a place where you'll find a wide…read moreselection of prices, brands, colors, and textures. Considering that there are only two other yarn stores in the greater Richmond area, it's nice to know that there's something for everyone if you're in Richmond proper. You may also find a range of customer service. The first time I went in, I felt very welcomed by the staff members and they answered all of my questions. I was happy to make my purchase. This is what prompted me to return. The second time I went in, the staff member at the register was chatting with an exiting customer about the election. I don't mind a political disagreement or difference but I do mind vindictive racially charged whispers. If your hand is over your mouth as you gleefully lean into your inner mean girl, a part of you knows that what you said isn't entirely classy. Your candidate winning does not excuse bad manners or a lack of decorum. However, it's low form to wish the losing candidate ill, and to hope that they go back to the hole they crawled out of. Wow. It just goes to show that age is not associated with class. Folks are entitled to their opinions, but if you're a staff member hoping to make a sale, it's probably best to keep that under wraps or at least away from your workplace. Not classy, not demure, not mindful at all, and definitely not the kind of behavior that would make America great ... at any point. Note: I do not believe that this staff member reflects the entirety of the others. I do think that, had it not been the day after the election, this person may have been less likely to be less mindful of others in the store. That said, big moments in history do reveal our true character, and I hope this staff member takes the time to be more empathetic and aware of their surroundings the next time they are at their workplace.

She walked me through the store to show me which yarns are best for what I was looking for. Amazing service. The store is so quaint and has such a beautiful selection of yarn at different prices. All of the yarn seemed to be of good quality. I have already started working on my project with the yarn purchased. If you are a knitter or crocheter this is the place to be. I can't wait to attend one of their events and take a class. Such a hidden gem that I will be visiting often!

The selection of yarn and classes is amazing. I can always rely on Stacie to have what I need. She absolutely takes her customers requests in mind when choosing stock.

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.
