Lovely little shop! I really like that Cortni is an indie dyer and makes available her own products for us to squish and make our own. And there is also an incredible community of knitters to support Rita Mae Yarns and each other read more

I am so very sorry you had such an unfortunate experience at my favorite yarn shop. Your experience is not the norm. First experiences do not need to be lasting ones. I find Rita Mae Yarn Shop a warm and welcoming space, full of friendly and helpful knitters. All offering encouragement and support, sharing patterns and designers they like, color choices and types of yarn appropriate for the project, helping to fix a mistake or learning a new stitch technique. Rita Mae yarn shop is a work in progress, 6 months young. Evolving daily and always striving read more

I signed up for a Learn to Knit class advertised on Facebook. The class and materials cost me over $60 and at the end of the class according to the advertisement, I would be completing a knitted scarf. Unfortunately the instructor never showed up. She called 15 minutes after start time and said she forgot about the class and would not be in. A customer who walked in tried to teach us, bless her heart but not being a paid instructor it did not go do well. I received a refund for the class but walked away extremely disappointed that I still did not know how to knit, my time had been wasted and I had to buy expensive yarn and needles that I did not need. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. The shop has beautiful selections of yarn and supplies. I plan to take one of their classes.

Very neat little shop, everyone was very welcoming and the yarn selection is beautiful. I'll definitely be going back!

If I was going on selection alone, this little yarn shop would get 5 stars. I bumped them down to 4 because their shop hours are a little bit haphazard and inconvenient, which makes it difficult for me to fit trips into my work schedule. Their yarns are top quality, their prices are fair, and the shop is always full of friendly people. They don't mind if you sit for a while and look at their endless stock of patterns. I have yet to fit any of the classes into my schedule, but hope to do so soon. read more

Not a lot of choice of yarns or supplies. Wasn't that impressed with what was on the shelves but the shop yarn dyed by the owner was beautiful. read more

I'm not a knitter, but I stopped in here for a friend. Many unique yarns which tend to be pricey, but if you're into it. This is the place to go. read more

Very friendly and care about people enjoying the art, but selection is small as it is a small space. Prices are also high for boutique yarn. Some very nice interesting yarns though. read more

Great store with fantastic staff. Love the variety of yarns available. The staff are caring people who are freely giving of their knowledge. read more

Such a lovely experience! Had found them on the internet and called to see if they could help me as I passed thru town to catch a flight out of Baltimore. So helpful and gave me everything I needed so I could continue knitting on my flight. read more

Lovely LYS. Very nice selection of yarns with a lot of variety in type and price points. They also had a good selection of needles available. The lady working was very nice and I could tell that she loves knitting as much as I do. I only wish I lived closer so I could frequent it more often. read more

While visiting York, PA for a convention at the fairgrounds, I ventured to this wonderful yarn shop. Although they haven't been in this location long, this shop is charming and colorful. Lisa and Mary Anne were quite friendly and helpful. As I thumbed through some of their pattern books, we exchanged ideas about yarns & projects. I could definitely make this my hangout if I lived nearby. Thanks ladies for all your help! read more
