This is an artist dream. They have probably whatever you need for whichever medium your craft is. My gentleman friend took me on Valentine's Day and I found a fluorescent pink 7mm mechanical pencil. I never knew I needed a pencil so badly. They carry the Ferris Wheel Press inks and a few others but I can't remember the name. Most of the inks cost the same as they would online but you don't have to pay shipping and you can view the swatches to get a good idea of the color you're buying. So happy businesses like this still thrive in Atlanta

I was visiting ATL for the weekend and wanted to visit some yarn stores so the Craftivist came up in my research. I saw that they host events for people to come in and work on their fiber arts a few times a week so this sold me on visiting! When I stopped in, I was greeted and there was space for me to sit down. I even got some help on my project. It was so nice to be community with people who love the fiber arts for a little while. I look forward to supporting their business since they also ship!

I recently had a private knitting lesson here…read more The instructor begin with telling me the different types of forms yarn comes in, ie. hanks, skeins and balls along with other information about knitting. After the introduction the instructor picked out a wood circular knitting needle for me. The reason for choosing the wood I was told it would help hold the yarn better for a beginner versus a metal needle. When it came time to choose the yarn I was told to make my choice from a small area. I picked a mustard yarn. The next day I received an invoice from the store because I didn't pay for the items. Silly me. I assumed because I was only allowed to pick out from a certain section that it was included with the lesson that I had paid for. Unfortunately, because the yarn I chose was quite small. It has been difficult as a beginner working with it. There have been a lot of starts and stops which I would expect but more so because of the size of the yarn. I have since learned as a beginner I should have a bulkier yarn. When I left that day, I had not gotten the hang of the cast on, or the knit stitch. Five minutes before the class was to end we had just finished casting on and that didn't leave much time for the knitting since the store was opening. Since taking the class I have been able to get the hang of the cast on and the knit stitch thanks to Sheep and Stitch on YouTube. I think the reason I didn't get the hang of it in the store was because of the teaching style. It just didn't mesh with my learning style. I would definitely recommend the classes to anyone here. Very professional staff. Because the yarn I ended up purchasing isn't good for beginners. I did call the store to see if I could exchange it, but I was told they would not accept it because it had already been wound. The staff was very nice. They were very helpful when customers came in.

Specifically a Pilot Kaweco sport, one of the best pens for people interested in learning to use fountain pens. The person working there was very helpful and friendly. She also had knowledge of how ordering of products was done. They also had top quality paper products imported from Germany and Japan... and in unique editions. I was thrilled to find the store.

I knew it was my kind of establishment when I spotted an Etsy sticker on the door. There's parking in Arlo's garage with the entrance next to the nearby Dairy Queen. Your first 30 minutes are free. Be sure to take a ticket from the automated kiosk after you select the 30 minute option (no credit card required). COCO + MISCHA is a small boutique that sells really pretty things. There are lots of handmade goodies, some made locally, like bowties and skinny ties. I saw jewelry, baby items, bath/body stuff, prints, cards, and more. There are also vintage and new pieces of clothing for sale, along with kitchen and barware. Prices seemed a little high for some items and reasonable for others. There was one woman minding the store; she seemed really nice. I didn't end up buying anything but would come back if I needed gifts or wanted to treat myself.

This is the first time I've ever felt welcome in a local yarn store as someone who prefer crochets.
