    Michaels of Northborough -- Northborough Crossing : 6108 Shops Way, Northborough       Exterior
    Brandon K.

    Michaels in general is my favorite chain store for the best prices for arts and crafts supplies. Actually, what I meant to say is that they have the best prices if you know how to shop at Michaels in the most effective way. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS use a 50%, 55% or 60% off coupon on a regular price item or 15% or 20% off your entire purchase. Don't even try to give the excuse that you can't find one, because honestly, they are always around, and if Michaels doesn't have a coupon out, AC Moore or Jo-Anns (which Michaels match coupons of) definitely will. So every time I come here, I either buy a bunch of sale items or one regular priced item, because I refuse to pay for anything here for full price. Lucky for me, I live in a town with a Michaels store, so I go often to continue being able to purchase one thing and use the coupon every day. Anyway, coupon rant over. This specific Michaels is in Northborough Crossing, sandwiched between Petsmart and Toys R Us. It's not the biggest Michaels around, but large enough to still have a decent variety. What was annoying about this specific store was the layout. Even though it's adaptable, for the first-time shopper (like myself), I had no idea where anything was due to the weird layout in comparison to most of the other Michaels locations I've been to. Seriously, everything wasn't where I expected and the thing I came in here specifically looking for was no where to be found. Either way, they did have a bunch of deep clearance sections and lots of good sales, so that was entertaining and the guy working at checkout was friendly enough and helpful. In conclusion, the store is alright but the layout is very confusing and costs them two stars. In comparison to some of the other Michaels, like the brand new one where I live in Westwood, this one needs some re-arranging! 3 stars.

    I was in looking for leather acrylic paints for a project. This wasn't the brand I originally wanted, but it will do  I guess.

    Hilarious liability hazard in the form of pallets and carts all over the embroidery section. Claustrophobic, unattended, and wobbly.

    I am not one for leaving reviews. Living in Hudson, I have limited options for buying top quality…read moreyarn. I have been here several times and have always found the service less than impressive but with limited options, I accept it. My daughter and her mother in law went there and had a similar experience so I feel the need to share the experiences I have had MULTIPLE times. This store is much more focused on its students who attend the classes than your average customer. The general impression is that customers are a nuisance to them. If you ask a question, their answers are abrupt with no follow up. I've asked for assistance with selecting the proper yarn weight and learned to look it up rather than ask. It just isn't a pleasant place to be. If you need yarn, go but if you're traveling don't bother. Order from an online store. It's what I've started to do.

Not many yarn shops where I live so I made the 15 mile trek to this store. Scheduled to open at 12. I arrived at 11:45. It seemed there were people in the store and the door was open. So, I entered quietly as it seemed there were women at a table-turned out to be a class. The woman at the counter asked us to LEAVE!! She looks at me and says, "we open at 12". I said well what time is it? She says just around 11:50 she says. I was floored. If I'm not welcome I am not staying but I'm not sure how anyone can think sending a customer away for entering 10 minutes before opening when people are inside and the door is open is even reasonable. I was looking to buy enough yarn to make 1 dozen matching hat scarf and mitten sets in adult sizes and another dozen in kids sizes. I generally prefer to buy good yarn from local shops. I will drive much further this time. These people are rude!

True to its name, the store fosters a warm, inclusive environment where people can gather to create. They stock an impressive range of high-quality fabrics and supplies from famous brands for sewing, knitting, embroidery, and other fiber arts. Beyond just selling materials, their real standout feature is the fully-equipped studio space available for rent in the back. This area contains professional-grade machinery, like industrial sewing and embroidery machines, that most people don't have at home, allowing makers to tackle ambitious projects at very reasonable hourly rates. The staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive, always willing to help beginners or offer advice to seasoned crafters. This community focus extends to their extensive schedule of workshops and classes for all skill levels, which aligns with their mission to be a welcoming space for everyone. Whether you need specific supplies, access to specialized equipment, or friendly guidance to start a new hobby, Gather Here is an invaluable and inspiring resource for the local creative community.

No labels about content, no yardage info, even the gauge is iffy (because it's on a cone, so it's compressed). Just stuff. The guy buys mill ends and mistake things that bigger yarn manufacturers don't want - kinda like the TJ Maxx of yarn. So some of the stuff is really good; a lot of it is "wtf??" I know for sure that a bunch of the cones were Lion Brand homespun. Mostly you just have to rely on the man's memory & guess for what the fiber content & weight is. Since 95% of stuff is on cones, you won't find much worsted or heavier weights. But he does have a wall of hanks with really nice stuff - the actual stuff you'll find in a nice yarn shop and for the same price as everything else: $8 per pound for 100% wool; $4/lb for wool blends. You just gotta wash it a lot to get out that weird factory smell. Vanessa T's photos show everything perfectly. He also has a big supply of random vintage notions. Like elastic for sewing for 50 cents per package. Or some new-in-package Ace bandages from 30 years ago, if that's your bag.
