Definitely will be visiting again!

And chickens and roosters all over the place. Very fun. Then we got to feed the alpacas and it was really fun to be up so close and personal with them. This was the highlight of the adventure for us. Hearing the stories and history of the place from the owners was very interesting. The tour of the fiber mill itself was interesting also. We went into the store and of course had to buy something. 3 year old picked out an alpaca stuffy and grandma got a hot pad and a coaster made of alpaca fiber. We had a great time.

I've been a customer at the Knittery since the prior owner was only a clerk/knitting instructor…read more The rich history of this place being purchased by employees from the retiring owner makes it a must-stop place to shop, no matter where they've been located. From the old, old shopping center in the 80s by JC Penny, to the small location by IKEA and then this one, I've been a customer and followed them, literally, since 1986, and learned how to read a pattern through classes that were worth the 30 minute drive to get there, even with a houseful of babies. Got a question? I encourage you to call and ask. You won't be disappointed. I've been told "we'd love to see you but we don't have that in stock right now." The honesty is refreshing. Do they seem busy? Speak up; they're just waiting to hear what you need and will get to you as soon as they can. The best experience is to allow ample time to browse. You'll won't be nagged while deciding on the perfect pattern, and they'll gladly help you choose the perfect yarn to make it, if you can't decide which yarn on your own. I'm treating myself to a special trip just for yarn tomorrow; my birthday present to myself. I can't wait! I'll probably still miss Wynne, but I hope I'm still around to see these ladies retire and pass the store on to the employees who will buy it in the future.

I took in a skein of yarn that had been munched on by moths (thankfully they were long gone post feast) and Shannon, one of the lovely gals who works there, spent over two hours unravelling, hand winding and then winding the little balls into one beautiful cake. I highly recommend this space if you are looking for some very nice folks to help you find what you need and provide classes of all kinds.

It is also awesome how all the yarn is hand dyed by them! Lastly, my FAVORITE part about this yarn store is that they make the same colorway available in different weights of yarn, so no matter your yarn weight preference, you can experience fun colored yarn!

The owner is the most friendly guy and I once met a lovely friendly woman working too! There is no hand dyed yarn here, instead this shop carries online yarn, but in store. (For example, ICE yarn) There is some Lion Brand and Red Heart, but he carries varieties that I never see in box stores. I love that you can see online yarn in person. Technically it is a tiny more expensive this way, but you save on shipping costs and can feel the yarn in person first! There are also lots of accessories available for sale, and LOTS of books! The owner is also very good about recognizing both knitters AND crocheters! (Unlike some yarn stores..) Overall, I recommend this store. There is SO MUCH yarn inside. And if you can't make it to Des Moines, there is an online Amazon store!
