The store is still having a closing sale 50% off & it is restocked and full of yarn. They even have sone hand spun yarn .

If you're looking for quality yarn craft products, this is the shop you need. There is a wide selection and the owners are friendly and make you feel like they've known you for years. Can't wait to go back! read more

As an avid knitter I love visiting new shops when traveling and this shop did not disappoint. Traveling from Denver, I knew I would be coming in close to closing and they cheerfully agreed to wait for me. Wonderful selection of yarns and supplies and friendly service above and beyond. Add to that an art gallery on the first floor to keep the boys busy. Delightful! read more

I found this shop through my yarn app, but thought perhaps the shop had closed. Enter through the art gallery parking lot and take the elevator (to the right of the entrance) and go to the second floor. Excellent selection of yarns from familiar manufacturers (i.e., Berocco, Rowan, Cascade, etc.) but lines seldom found in other shops. Lots of samples around the shop are well labeled to help with identifying pattern and yarn. Don't overlook the sale shelf with some exciting finds to be had! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. There was a class in progress at the obligatory table in the middle of the store. Eavesdropping on the conversation while browsing indicated a happy group of friendly helpful knitters. If you're visiting Omaha, this is a shop well worth seeking out. If you're a local, this should already be on your radar! read more

Personal Threads Boutique - Excellent inventory - Knitting Supplies Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

See all

They do have a wonderful yarn selection. The yarn is beautiful but does not have price tags on it. You have to look the price up in a big book--very inconvenient and difficult. I have been in here many times and found the staff, in general to be unhelpful and not friendly. They seem to have a superiority complex-to the point where you feel like you are bothering them if you ask for help. I haven't been in for a while. They did move recently after their building was torn down for the Children's Hospital expansion. There are several other yarn shops in Omaha that I prefer. I really feel a yarn shop should be focused on the customer. read more

I stopped in here during spring break and it's a delightful little shop! Everyone is friendly and there's lots of yarn to choose from. If you want something just tell them you want more of it because they keep a huge stock in the back as well and the front of the store is more for display. read more

I love this yarn shop. The yarn selection is outstanding...so much of an assortment and so many choices. I went in looking for a skein of yarn to knit while on a vacation and walked out with 4 skeins and some new needles. Planning to make another stop before my vacay ends. The shop is on the second floor above an art gallery. Parking is right up front. read more

Oh what a delightful yarn shop! I was traveling, and when I do, I try to visit a yarn shop in town. The shop is located upstairs of a gallery and is stocked with huge selection of variety of good quality yarns. Joe was so helpful. He brought out discontinued yarns from the storage and gave me 20% off! I wish this shop was close to me so I can visit more often. read more

I came in today feeling apprehensive being a male knitter. Usually I feel like an oddball, but the owner was incredibly friendly and let me look & touch without feeling watched or judged. I walked out with incredibly too much yarn (lol), but a love for a store in a different state than in from. Dangerous!!! read more

So I picked up some European knitting porn the other day and became entranced with the idea of knitting a sweater named Savanna. I am not kidding you. The sweaters have names. I am not sure that they are their real names lol My chosen sweater is probably known in real life as Sandy. Anyway, I went to Personal Threads because a) they had the yarn for Savanna (4 ply cashsoft* by Rowan) b) they are having the annual 20% off sale right now c) their inventory is updated regularly on their website so you know if they have what you want and how much it is going to cost ahead of time c) Michael's just does not do it for me anymore, especially since I went woolly and started felting. Joe helped me correctly calculate the number of balls I needed and the proper size needles. Kathy sold me a leather coin thimble for fingertip protection (she teaches knitting classes there, too) and some more yarn because I became enamored with Emily (Lima** in Machu Pichu by Rowan). And boy, does she have bobbles. Lots of 'em. Heaven help me!

I haven't been here in a long time, and now i remember why. While the shop and selection is amazing, the staff was unfriendly and i felt bad interrupting their day with my silly questions, requests for help, and making then come to the counter so i could give then my hard earned money. I would like to go back to support a local business, but I'd rather stick a knitting needle in my eye. I get better service from the automated online checkout on the internet. read more

LOVE this place! I live on the other side of the country, but I keep coming back to their site to order (they have a HUGE selection, and fast shipping). When I am in Omaha, I always try to stop too. Their selection is amazing. It beats any LYS I have access to here. Joe has always been friendly and helpful; he knows my love for Koigu. I am really impressed with the selection of yarn and prices. Highly recommend. read more

I want to say thank you for your amazing service with my fairly small order. I was so pleased to get the series of email updates and amazed that you processed the order on a Saturday and I received it on the following Tuesday. I had two skeins of yarn (that I've had for over ten years) and needed a third to finish a project. "Personal Threads" had this discontinued yarn in the exact color that I needed. I was delighted and surprised and even more amazed at how responsive and efficient this company is. My project is completed and I'm delighted. Thank you again for being a great company and I recommend anyone in need of yarn (or fabric) to visit their online store, or in person if you're fortunate enough to live close by. read more

Thanks again for great friendly service. All staff have gone out of their way to help with suggestions on all aspects of yarn, patterns and accessories. I applaud Joe for putting together the best staff in our locally owned yarn shop. It's a pleasurable experience every time I walk in the door. I always feel better after a visit!!!! Ruth read more

I love the selections of yarns and the displays. I have always found the staff to be very friendly and very helpful.

A great local yarn shop, definitely worth a stop in. They don't keep all the stock out on the floor, so it's worth asking if they have more of a particular color if you're looking for a sweater quantity. The year end/after Christmas sale is a great deal - pretty much everything is 20% off. It's located in a building with a great art gallery - make sure you walk through their too. read more

Surprised to read that some people found employees to be unfriendly as my experience was the opposite. I came in and was immediately greeted. I don't remember the name of the man assisting me but he was very helpful walking me around the store to show me the different yarns I could use for the pattern I brought in. They had a great selection and the store was very pleasant to be in, I would definitely recommend. read more

I have to agree with the previous review. They have a beautiful array of yarn but the service leaves a lot to be desired. During my recent visit one of the employees could not stay to help because he had to go golf and the other women could not be bothered to answer any questions. I, too, do not like the absence of prices. The gallery downstairs was very pleasant and welcoming. read more

Great selection, pretty pricey, customer service is hit-and-miss, depending on who's working when you stop by. Overall the atmosphere was not welcoming. I've spent a lot of money (for me, anyway) at this store and the attitude toward me did not improve. I finally decided I can order stuff online and not have the aggravation and snooty attitudes. And, then I found another yarn store in town where the proprietor acts like they're glad to see you. What a concept! read more
