First went into this store about three years ago in search of a specific knitting needle size that…read moreI couldn't find at Michaels. Up until then I had never gone into my local little yarn store...wow I sure had missed out on a lot. There is so much to find and the store owner is very knowledgeable and will help find the best yarn for your project that works best for your budget. A wide range of yarns from higher end acrylics to the beautiful hand spun and dyed artists brands. If she doesn't carry it or have it in stock she will help you find it! Definitely my go to place!

I was in Toronto for meetings, and I called ahead to see if they could possibly have the circular needles that I have been chasing the world for (no joke -- everywhere I go...). He was very helpful and knowledgeable and had options! I trekked out to the shop in the pouring rain. Got the needles! A miracle indeed. Spent at least an hour browsing, bought some lovely yarn for a baby project (that I started immediately on the new needles), and will definitely go back. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

If you like vintage stuffs, probably this store will suit you. IT has many vintage knitting…read morepatterns. And also lots of wool for tapestry and crewel work. The store is pretty old and full of dirt (sorry to say that), and some of the wool are covered with dust. It has some crochet yarn as well, if you like crocheting dollies, probably this is a place for you to buy different kind of crocheting yarn. But, I don't enjoy the shopping here, it's too old, and not very well organized.

I like it just fine. It has a good selection, Paton's yarns as well as others; I didn't observe…read moreany dirt; and the owner, Elizabeth is friendly and helpful.

I am a knitter, so I go to the yarn selection in the store. There I find an array of choices. I just want to cuddle up on one of the shelves. Fabulous colors and textures abound. I always buy more than I need, but the yarns seem to pop in my hands and say take me home. The fabric selection is awesome too. They have kits for making quilts in many sizes and colors. If you do any crafts, stop in for some interesting finds. I look forward to coming back.

This unassuming shop has been part of the plaza at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Steeles…read moreAve. W. for decades. You can see the store front from the roads if you're looking towards the plaza. The sign is done in a pretty font befitting its name. There's plenty of free parking. The lot is accessible from Steeles. The store looks deceptively small from the outside. It's long, and has a second floor. This specialty shop has just about anything you may require for all your sewing and thread craft needs. Not only will you find supplies, you will be able to avail yourself of the knowledge the owner and staff can share. In fact, they teach their own classes here. When we came in looking for a new pair of scissors, we enjoyed browsing the books, patterns, and accessories as well. We did find that it's a little more expensive for some things than going to the Fabricland up Weston Road, but we enjoyed the better atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting a local business. If you don't want the sterile shopping experience of a chain like Fabricland, this place is for you. The inspiration and knowledge you will come away with from here instead make it worth repeat returns.

I would describe Artisanthropy as the best place to go to in Whitby for your fibre arts needs. Why?…read more * Locally owned business * Staff are incredibly helpful and kind to those of all skill levels * Craft supplies that are difficult to find anywhere but online can be found here. Sashiko? Got it. Needle felting? They have replacement tips! Looking to begin yarn spinning? They sell drop spindles and can probably hook you up with other items! *They sell my favourite yarn brand here, Scheepjes! * The staff take your budget into consideration, and will help you find the best options for your project. No pressure to spend more than you came for. There's a lot of expensive yarn here, yes. But there's also plenty of affordable options. *If they don't have what you're looking for, they are always happy to recommend another place to look, I needed very small beads for my project and they recommended a Canadian owned website based in Mississauga! I love this store. I will come here before Michaels any day of the week.
