I took an Introduction to Macrame Weaving class last week at Craft. I have been an Art Teacher for…read more10 years and was very excited to learn some new skills to teach the young ones. The class was scheduled for 2 hours. We ended an hour early with an end product that was a bit underwhelming. Our instructor was friendly enough, though never introduced herself nor took the time to ask the class (all 3 of us) our names. I wrote a letter to the owner and never got a response back. Highly unlikely I will return. Below is the letter I sent, including a few other underwhelming aspects to the class: "Hello! I took last evening's Macrame Weaving workshop. As I was driving back to Long Beach last evening after the class, I had some time to reflect on the workshop. I signed up for it to learn a new skill that I could potentially teach my students. (I've been an Art Teacher for many years). Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed with the class as a whole, as well as with our end result product. I believe the owner was there last evening; I regret not having pulled her aside to chat, though I wasn't quite clear on how I felt about the class until I was on my ride home. Our instructor was very friendly and I so appreciate the use of the high quality organic cotton cord. I also appreciated the hand out with the images of various knot styles. However, I don't even know what our instructor's name was. She never introduced herself or asked our names - there were only two other participants besides myself. We ended class nearly an hour early. This feels like a waste of project making and learning time. Either the project we did was too simple or our instructor wasn't thoroughly prepared. Her instruction was okay, though I don't think it is very helpful to physically do something for the student which she did a number of times. I believe it is more helpful to walk them through it verbally while allowing them to do it to experience the motions and acquire muscle memory. Craft is a great space! I wanted to share my thoughts because I think the class I took last evening could be improved upon for future students. Thank you for reading, Ivette"

Their staffs are helpful and friendly, once I was looking for a certain item, the gentleman who was helping me, spent the whole 10 mins walking me around the store to look for it and we successfully located the item.

Extremely disappointed. I spent around $70 for 3 skeins of yarn that is literally ripping apart…read morewhile being wound. The plies separate, the strand snaps with minimal tension, and the yarn is clearly structurally compromised. At this price point, I expect yarn that can withstand basic handling. This skein behaves like old, brittle, or under-plied stock, and is completely unusable for any durable project. I've worked with many yarns (including much cheaper ones) and have never experienced breakage like this during normal winding. If this is how the store curates and stores their inventory, especially given the premium pricing. I won't be purchasing yarn here again unless quality control improve. The women here working are nice enough, but quality makes me not wanna come back.

All gift items were beautifully wrapped which is a courtesy seldom seen these days it seems. In these times of click to buy (and I'm a heavy Amazon clicker so I'm throwing no shade here) it is a delight to see stores like this still serving the community. Besides the shop there is knitting and needlepoint. This is the heartbeat of the store. A place for people to come and interact. Wonderful to see - actual people connecting! If you are a knitter or a needle pointer you just have to stop by - even if you drive an hour, as I did, to be there! You will be blown away by the wide array of canvas, threads etc. huge selection! So, if you need a gift, for yourself or someone else, treat yourself. Stop by. Take a moment for yourself. Plenty of parking - front and back.
