With that out of the way, this is a small yarn store PACKED with everything you need. I was able to get notions needed asap. I lost a dpn needle when traveling and was able to drop in here for an exact chiagooo replacement. The yarn selection is wide and the owner is knowledgable. The prices are on par with the hobby and you can definitely find materials for cheap projects (acrylic) up to luxury yarns like alpaca.

The person behind the counter didn't speak to me hardly at all, which is something I have grown to expect at most LYS. Some friendly banter about what I'm making with the yarn or something like that, not a major thing but it made me feel a little awkward not really being spoken to whatsoever. It has a dedicated parking lot in back which is wonderful for the location. I hope to see it thrive, but I might continue going to different yarn stores that have a bit of a warmer reception.

I was just standing around my first time in with a canvas in hand and stretcher bars that I didn't know how to use. One of the staff came over and said "you look lost, come with me" and took me over to the table to check the size of the canvas and make sure that I got the right bars to fit (I didn't initially). She was very helpful, even taping the canvas and putting it on the new bars for me. I can't wait to come in again! The staff was delightful both times.

Hands-down, they have the greatest selection of spandex and Lycra fabrics. They're beaded laces and special occasion. Fabrics are also stunning. If you see something you like, it's best to buy it all because it may not come back. I have never gone in and not found what I wanted or needed for my projects. Sometimes I just enjoy wandering for an hour over lunch to see what's new and say hi to the staff. I wish they stayed open later on Saturdays and maybe had limited hours on Sundays because now that Joannes has closed, it's hard to grab things in a pinch. But I'll take what I can get because I really love shopping there. The value is absolutely incredible for the quality of some of these performance fabrics that you will pay 2 to 3 times more for online and even more than that with shipping.

DECEPTIVE SERVICE CHARGES -- BUYER BEWARE I visited this…read moreestablishment intending only to purchase a replacement belt and lubricating oil for my vintage 1950s sewing machine. I required no instructional assistance whatsoever -- merely the supplies necessary to complete routine maintenance myself. Upon arrival, I was directed to the service department to obtain the correct belt size. I brought my machine along specifically to streamline this process, since the original belt had stretched considerably. A female employee attempted to determine the appropriate size between two options but was unable to reach a conclusion, despite removing my belt for comparison. She subsequently enlisted a male colleague, who tested both sizes directly on my machine -- a task requiring minimal expertise and no specialized training. Only after determining the correct size did this employee inform me that a $25 service charge applied -- a fee neither he nor his colleague had disclosed beforehand. Had I been informed in advance, I would have simply purchased both candidate belts, tested them at home, and returned the incorrect one -- avoiding the charge entirely. While the establishment does post signage indicating a $25 hourly rate (with a $25 minimum) for servicing, I never requested a service; I sought only to purchase merchandise. Compounding matters, the store keeps all sewing machine components locked behind the counter, entirely inaccessible to customers, effectively compelling patrons to rely on staff assistance -- assistance that then incurs an undisclosed fee. I left feeling deceived and taken advantage of by a business practice that appears deliberately structured to manufacture billable interactions. I strongly encourage prospective customers to clarify all potential charges before allowing staff to handle their equipment.

Small, basic selection, the cheapest I've found around, which saved the entire trip. So yeah, not exciting, but weirdly reliable if you're going for 10" or less terra cotta pots.

And I don't want to buy online if I can avoid it. I was helped, but the help was not very helpful. When looking at expensive appliances, one usually wants the details about performance, capabilities, accessories, maybe some comparisons. I got nothing. And there were very few models on the floor to look at - only two - and none of another maker I was interested in that Mr Vac claims to sell. I felt it was difficult to engage the salesperson and he didn't seem real interested in discussing his merchandise. A request for a business card and/or product information resulted in a pink flyer with glaring typos and a phone number written in Sharpie. I don't need fancy, but I do need competence and engagement, and I felt like I got neither. It's unlikely I'd return to this shop, when I can easily obtain more detailed info on the manufacturers' websites.

Brides: please save yourself the stress and stay away from this shop…read more I came in with a clear vision for a custom gown. The owner rushed me and my friend (a professional fashion designer) to make snap decisions about materials--without ever asking to see my design ideas. Later, she tried to put the blame on me for not providing every single detail up front. She insulted the sundress I was wearing, treated us like we were wasting her time, and then quoted me twice the price for the same style of dress I later purchased at Brilliant Bridal North Phoenix. Whether she was intimidated by my friend's design background or simply had somewhere else to be, the message was clear: our business wasn't valued. Warning: The staff may sound warm and convincing over the phone, but the in-person reality is very different. Expect the ambience of a 1980s time capsule--fun only if you're nostalgic for that decade. The glowing reviews here are either wildly generous... or bought and paid for. If you want to be treated with respect and find a stunning gown for under $10K, I highly recommend Brilliant Bridal or Don't Box It Bridal instead.
