This is a great bead store tucked away in a not so way to find space. When you come here, it's…read morebecause you're deliberately seeking it out. So. Many. Beads! They've got everything you need - beads, findings, design tutorials, etc. It's a surprisingly large store. And again, there's so many beads! We spent quite awhile looking at all of the different beads and making our selections. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The sale/clearance area had some great deals. And the prices overall weren't bad at all for the quality. If you're searching for some high-quality beads for making jewelry, this needs to be on your list as a place to shop.

It's a great place to visit on a cold rainy day. There's a wonderful selection of high quality yarns in a wide array of textures, colors, patterns, and weights, and they have an excellent variety of wool roving colors. They have lots of cute notions (like buttons, clasps, pom-poms) and tools; they even have a little capsule vending machine with an assortment of cute handmade stitch markers. There's also a good selection of patterns. The shop has regular community crochet/knit and spinning get togethers, help sessions, crochet/knit-alongs, and classes; the classes and seminars are also very well priced.

Came in to just browse the yarn and see if they had the ChiaoGoo Quads. When I asked an employee if…read morethey had the quads in stock she had rudely snapped her fingers at another employee named Wonder to go greet customers that had just entered the shop. I found that behavior very off putting and it happened twice during my discussion with her. Have some respect for your fellow employees as they aren't dogs you can snap your fingers at, they are human and should be treated as such. I ended up leaving and just ordering what I needed from another shop. If the owner or store manager sees this please encourage better behavior. I can't imagine how this employee treats other employees when customers aren't present. The employee who was rude was of Asian decent if this helps identify who was working today.

I can't wait to go back

It's my personal ritual to make a far(er)-flung trek to a yarn store outside the main city area…read moreevery time I travel. Acorn Street turned out to be the BEST yarn store I have been to. Their selection of yarn is extensive and very organized; Juni and Si was holding a trunk show while I was there. They have a variety of both local and famous yarn (ie Madtosh, Malabrigo, Berroco), and most of all, their staff is the sweetest bunch. But, but! The thing I loved most is the sheer number of needles and notions they carry: both singular sizes and also full sets from different vendors (Lykke, Chiaogoo, KP). You can spend hours here brainstorming a project and buying everything you need to start swatching. I bought some cute pine cone stitch markers, a skein from Juni and Si for some socks and an Addi needle (with which I'm already in love with and off to the races on a new project). Thanks, Mary and Janet! I will surely, surely be back the next time I am in town.

I regret that I'm not a knitter/crocheter. This place was ADORABLE…read more They had skeins of different weights and colors organized throughout the store of what looked to be high quality wools. (I don't think I saw anything made of cotton, bamboo, or polyester fibers, but ask the shop! This isn't my craft.) There was a cute card catalog repurposed to hold variously sized US needles in the back of the store. There was a small column that held other needles and notions, like curved needles, row counters, row enders, etc. (Clearly this is not my craft, but I'm trying to articulate...) As you enter on the right, there's a large banquet table and a selection of pattern books. (On a table near check out there were a small handful of knitting and crochet magazines.) I presume that they either hold classes or invite people to actively knit and crochet over here. For those with accessibility challenges, this had one of the roomiest layouts of any store that I saw in Bainbridge. I believe the entrance had no stairs and there was a small parking lot in front of the store... perhaps at most 100 feet of walking. It was charming. I really wish this were my craft or that I had my sister's project needs so I could have shopped on her behalf.

I am not even a knitter, but was drawn into this store by the beautiful colorful displays. I left…read morevery convinced that I will start knitting now haha... During my short trip to Bainbridge, I visited 3 times and ended up with some yarn, a lovely book, and some patterns by Knitting for Olive. All the staff I met were so friendly and knowledgeable, and offered a lot of helpful suggestions for me as a beginner. Many project examples are left on display for you to touch and interact with, and they were all labeled with exact details of what is needed -- all very inspiring and aspirational. The yarn and book selection all seemed very high quality and wonderfully curated, very modern and yet timeless and beautiful. They even have regular classes and also craft hours where people can come in and do any sort of crafting. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm on the island!

YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!…read more The artist and shop assistant at Magpie Mouse are both so kind, creative and they truly enjoy sharing the experience of both discovering the art that around the shop, and helping/supporting your creativity if you take one of the enamel workshops (I highly recommend!). The variety and quality of the one of a kind art and jewelry is amazing. Each piece art. These badass women are metalsmiths, that also dance with glass and fire. It isn't a simple thing, but the knowledge and skill in which they approach making (And teaching!) is so full of joy and ease... it radiates from the shop and its wares. The prices are great and quality shines. This little shop/studio has unique and beautiful designs that are stellar for gifts others and for yourself! (Yes, you deserve it) This beautiful bespoke experience is located in a historic building on Western Ave, in Pike Market, tucked in with other artists and makers, facing the edge of the Puget Sound. If you're checking out all of Pike, this is a must see stop. If you need a moment to recharge while exploring the market, grab a cuppa from a locally owned small coffee shop and have a sit at the cafe table In front of Magpie Mouse, just remember to check out all the pretties inside!
