I was so excited to be in the shop that I totally forgot to take pictures, but I remember saying to myself how I could stay there all day, the only feature missing was a coffee cart! This place is open, tastefully decorated, and inviting both in ambiance and by the sense of community that is welcome to all. There were knitters of all ages coming in, including moms with children. Customer service was great. The lady who assisted me was kind and friendly. The drive to the shop was an adventure and it made me want to consider living in Portland. Hmmm, maybe....one day! read more

After a chaotic neighborhood construction, I was SHOCK to discover my beloved Pendelton sweater was bitten and left with many tiny holes In it (Dang you, nieghborhood bugs!). I have been trying to find someone to do the repair and have no luck. Finally I decided to look up knitting shops on Yelp, hoping someone will be able to help. I called Nirto Knitters, and a lady picked up the phone quickly. She was upbeat, friendly and sympathetic. She explained almost no one would do the repair because it always looked "not great" (kinda like a thick patch). However, she recommended the "needle felting" method. I quickly googled it and it looked doable for small holes! Oh I really hope it will works! For this experience, I recommend NItro Knitters for anyone who need knitting guidance. read more

I LOVE THIS STORE! My daughter and I have been in twice and the staff is so kind and helpful and they have a great selection of yarn.

Although this shop is geared towards knitters, it's great for crocheters as well! They have an amazing huge selection, I could spend an hour in there just looking around. They have a good mix of less expensive commercial yarns, as well as pricier hand dyed yarns, and all the weights/thicknesses you could want. I shopped in-store initially, but after starting my project I realized I didn't buy enough. Luckily, with their online shop, I was able to place an order for the exact yarn I needed. They shipped it the next day, and a day after that I had my yarn. They even wound it for me in the shop before shipping! I love this place, and I love how friendly everyone there is. I'll definitely be back for all my project needs. read more

I haven't knitted in quite a while. I was in the area visiting my sisters and decided it was time to take up one of my favorite hobbies again. We went to this shop and it was such a joy looking over all the wonderful yarn. The staff was super helpful! I taught my sister to knit a long while ago and she never stuck with it. However, looking at all the lovely things she too decided to start a project. They helped her pick a pattern and yarn. I will continue to visit this shop whenever I am in the area as well as ordering online. Highly recommend! read more

I was told about this shop just a week after their grand opening. I'm used to walking into brand new shops and finding a bit of chaos. This was not what I found though, I found well organized, brightly lit shop. The staff were very warm and friendly, asking me if I needed help finding anything or if I was just browsing. The yarn selection is very agreeable and they sell a good variety of needles. There are also very many classes available as well. All in all, a very good shop and everyone should stop in! read more

This is my new LYS! I found this place earlier this year, and it's my new staple. Their big thing is local dyers, which I love! I don't produce a ton of knit items, so I like the smaller, more curated selection as opposed to a wider selection of bigger-name brands (like For Yarn's Sake). I've been there probably 7 or 8 times and the employees have always been really friendly and helpful. My husband went in a couple weeks ago to buy me Christmas presents and he kept saying how helpful and nice the employee was (while familiar with my craft, he still relies on the workers at these places for guidance). Keep up the great service! read more

Fun place to knit and meet new people. Lots of great yarn too! There classes look fun and I have to try one soon .

Can a place get TOO many five-star reviews?? This yarn shop looks like a helpless hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but the selection inside is actually fabulous. The Saturday trunk shows showcasing local yarns are the best time to show up. read more

I visited this shop on a recent vacation to Portland in late July 2017. I loved it! I really wish my town could support a great knitting shop like this. At Nitro Knitters, there were plenty of high quality yarns to choose from, all excellently displayed. When I was there, it looked like a knitter's group was meeting in the back portion of the store. I also noted that some of the patterns displayed were free Raverly downloads. That was a nice touch! I will return to this store the next time I visit Portland. read more

This is a very friendly yarn shop. There are social knitting gruops several times a week and they are welcoming and helpful. Classes and individual help also available. read more

Such a lovely place. I am always searching for knitting shops that offer a wide variety of yarns and colors- and this is it! I am always greeted warmly and offered the help I need. Love it! read more

My favorite yarn shop. I love social knitting and talking with Anne and Charlene. They always are there for support and great ideas! Great yarns with beautiful colors. read more

I LOVE this place!! The 2 lovely ladies that were working that evening were extremely helpful. They went over and beyond on their customer service skills by spending time with me to create a pattern and find the correct yarn PAST CLOSING TIME. They have a wide variety of yarn and it is priced slightly higher than what you would find at the craft store but totally worth it. It feels good to support a local business that deserves it! I will most definitely be returning!! read more

This is my favorite shop in town. They have a great selection and the staff is so friendly. I get loads of feedback and help in finding the right yarn for a project, and find so many treasures that I never realized I needed. Truly a great place. read more

I love their big selection of brightly colored fun yarns. And they're so nice and helpful. I'm taking Mary's class and she is just fantastic. I'm new to knitting and they are always there to help me. Only have nice things to say about this place! read more

Really nice, new shop. The employees are helpful and friendly. The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars is that I was hoping for a bigger selection of non-wool yarns (cotton, bamboo, silk, etc). Besides that, they're selection is great for a smallish area! read more

Found it by chance...what a great find! Ann said she could teach me to purl...and after years of frustration...I CAN!! Amazing yarn to feed my addiction :) Wonderful staff too! A most welcome addition to my neighborhood! read more

What a great store. They have a wonderful selection of yarns, other supplies, and really nice staff.

I moved here just a few months ago and these women made me feel right at home from the first day I stepped into the shop. The variety of yarns and prices is fabulous. Come on in. You won't be disappointed. read more

Just tried this shop for the first time. Excellent service! Will be back! The salesperson helped us with a difficult color match and was so very patient with my indecisiveness! She really seemed to enjoy helping us. read more

I love Nitro knitters. They are exceptionally helpful, courteous and efficient. They have a beautiful yarn selection with affordable price ranges. The teachers are skilled and supportive. There are many classes available for all skill levels. Social knitting is fun and I have made many new friends there. Parking is free and plentiful. Drop by for a visit to see this delightful little yarn store and knitting school for yourself. read more

Such a friendly and helpful place! They have a fairly large variety of yarn and needles, plus knit-a-longs and classes. I'm newer to knitting and they helped me solve a needle gauge problem, even complimenting me on the swatch I showed them! I was very pleased with the service and left feeling encouraged! read more

This is by far my favorite yarn store in the Portland area! Nitro Knitters stocks beautiful and well-priced yarn, with a focus on great value without sacrificing excellent quality. They seek out locally hand-dyed yarn and have a wonderful selection. If you are wondering what to make with the beautiful yarn you find, you will draw inspiration from the vast array of finished projects they have displayed throughout the store. The best thing about Nitro Knitters, though, is the staff! They are all so friendly and knowledgeable and the classes are fantastic. I am a novice knitter, but my confidence and skills have really improved because of the encouragement and help I receive from my knitting instructor. Nitro Knitters is a must-visit store if you are a knitter or crocheter! read more

It's wonderful to shop at a store that believes in spotlighting local talent. With all the wonderful local dyers around, Nitro Knitters has chosen, and continues to chose fabulous colors and textures from the community. In fact, community seems to be what it's all about. They feature lots of classes (general and specific in nature), social knit times, community knit times with finished projects going to those with need, and a monthly KAL. With staff that "knows their stuff" and who are friendly and helpful, it makes for a relaxed browsing, shopping or knitting experience. Great yarn and products, great customer service and great classes.....they've hit the trifecta....I'm happy to call them my LYS of choice! read more

Fantastic yarn shop with a wide and beautiful selection of yarn. The people there know yarn, knitting, crocheting and patterns and are knowledgeable and friendly. There are frequent great sales, classes and trunk shows featuring yarn I would never regularly get to see. I think it is the best yarn shop of its kind in Beaverton and I highly recommend it. read more

It is exciting to see Anne Laird teaching at Nitro Knitters - she is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. She is very calm and can explain beginning through advanced techniques in an understandable way. The store has a wide variety of yarn, and the people who work there know their yarn! read more
