The store has an amazing variety of gorgeous rustic yarns (ranging from well-known Brooklyn Tweed and Woolstock to lovely small production Canadian yarns) as well as superwash favorites. Additionally, they stock books and magazines, knitting/crochet/embroidery supplies and project bags. Service was fantastic - friendly, helpful and fast. Scratch Supply is a great source for all your wooly crafting needs.

Horrible online buying experience…read more I ordered a couple of expensive skeins of yarn from their online shop because they said on their site that as long as items were ordered during open shop hours they would be shipped out that same day or the next day, via overnight . This would have meant that I would have gotten the item within three days. The order was immediately confirmed and stated that expected delivery was in two days. I checked the next day and the site said that the order was still being processed. I checked later that day and no change the order the next morning. I tried contacting them through their site contact form, email, and also a message on their facebook page and there was no reply. I couldn't call because buried within their website they state that they don't answer the phone during business hours. I guess that should have been my first red flag. After the expected delivery date passed, their site updated to now state WAS expected, but with no further info other than still processing. I contacted them again via email and their site telling them to cancel this order and I also contacted PayPal and had the charge reversed. A few days went by and I checked again and their order page stated that my order had been cancelled. I never received any communication at all from Scratch Supply. I don't know why they run their business so strangely, but I think anyone who can't be bothered to answer the phone in their busineSs during regular shop hours is a big issue. Then coupled with the fact that they just don't bother to answer emails of any kind is another issue. Maybe this is a hobby, or maybe they just don't want the additional online business but it is shameful that they take orders and then ghost customers. Thankfully due to the fact of the statement that they ship quickly I didn't waste much time thinking it would take them a week or so, and I was able to recoup my money quickly. I'm not sure why, but when I searched reviews before buying here, I saw nothing that would alert me to shipping and order delivery issues. It was odd, because when I searched again after having issues, I found others with the same exact problem of never getting the item and the shop ghosting them. If anyone looking to buy from them sees this, I'd suggest you think long and hard before purchasing, or at least be aware that you may have issues getting items.

This is a new yarn store in the area. The owner is friendly and helpful and the store is unique in…read morethat it carries an assortment of beautiful wool and yarn from Vermont farmers. There is also a nice selection of yarn from some of the larger fiber companies. The highlight for me is the selection of beautiful roving - both natural and dyed - for spinning. There are even yarns from local flocks that have been colored with natural plant dyes. So special! There are also very nicely assembled kits of local yarns and patterns. They make great gifts for knitters. As well as all the usual notions, the shop offers knit nights, classes, and workshops for children. It feels very community-oriented. I love that the store sells local wool and that spending money helps both a local business, and local farmers and fiber artists. Keep it local! Don't shop online!!!

Wanted to join in to sit and knit for a…read morewhile and look for interesting items I couldn't live without, but the vibe was cold the second I walked in. No acknowledgement of this possible new customer until I started looking through magazines right in front of the table the worker was sitting at. When I said I was enjoying the shop, just a nod and back to ignoring me while there were other 'regulars' sitting around the table and talking. Not a very friendly atmosphere, Not a friendly welcome, not even a friendly goodbye. Unfortunately not a small business I want to purchase from or visit again.

My wife knits and is good at it but is always learning. She likes to buy tools, patterns, yarn and…read morelikes to support small local businesses when possible. We were walking down the street this week and saw this shop. My wife became excited seeing this store from the outside so we ventured in. No one else was in the shop at the time except for the woman working. As we walked in with our happy 18 month old, the door closed behind us, not a glance, not a hello, nothing to acknowledge our presence. Fine, it happens. Perhaps it was assumed we were just tourists who weren't going to buy anything so we were ignored. Not acceptable, but again it happens. However when my wife has 2 items in her hands ready to purchase, has a question, is ignored and another customer is greeted and helped ahead of us while we are being still ignored it warrants a review on Yelp. I support local businesses but I don't support bad customer service and pretentiousness. Both of which seemed to be abundant from the woman working there. I will not only make it my duty to never visit here again but to make sure that every person I know that visits Woodstock never sets foot in this store.

What makes this store better then most of the others is the variety and craftsmanship that can be seen throughout. It also doesn't hurt that you are greeted by the happiest and sweetest dog there upon entering the store. The store itself was beautifully maintained and organized. It had a flow to it that just drew you to ever corner. From the front display of handcrafted metal worked lights to the far back of the store's amazingly knitted coats and hats there is something for everyone to see and purchase for a country home. There is a wide variety of kitchen items such as cutting boards and cheese knives that match with the wood fire glazed pottery. Across from the pottery and kitchen items was a knitting selection of mushrooms and other out there figurines such as fish and sock monkeys. But, the crown jewel of the store in my opinion has to be the jewelry. These items which ranged from necklaces to ear piercings are all handcrafted and beautifully worked. Every case had the name of the crafter on it and the store owner could provide you with more info upon request. Overall this is 1 of 2 stores that should be on everyone's must view list when visiting the town of Woodstock, VT.

She knew a lot about the history of growing flax for fiber, background and history about spinning flax and the uses for flax fiber besides spinning. Highly patient and knowledgeable instructor.

On my first…read morevisit I was told that the shop is named for the quaintly termed "loose ladies" who used to work the neighborhood in the hey day of this old factory town. Such a great story but apparently not true. On my second visit I was given a second and probably more reliable tale of the origin of the name. Visit the shop to find out which story you prefer. The shop is located in the small village of Proctorsville, Vt. It's easy to find in a big yellow building. The yarns are primarily from local spinners, their sheep and llamas. The yarn quality and selection are both outstanding. An excellent knitter always seems to to be there to give you advice and help you get started.
