Since my last review, written at the height of covid when I had to order my cross-stitch kit for…read morecurbside pickup, I've had the opportunity to visit Northwest Yarns a couple more times and am pleased to report that the store has greatly expanded. They've taken over the former (RIP) Black Drop Coffee space, which is now filled to the brim with beautiful yarn. And their original shop space is full of gorgeous, high quality fabrics. They have designers and prints I've never seen in other fabric stores, and they have a great selection of cotton fabrics as well as some knits and other options. Next time I'm making a quilt, I'll stop by and pick fabrics here as I know it will make any project just that much more unique and interesting. Speaking of fabric, last weekend I took an ice dyeing class here with their wonderful owner, Heather. I've never dyed fabric before, and was a little nervous about how it would all work. I also never knew you could dye with the help of buckets of ice! It was a blast and I can't wait to have time to add yet another fabric-related hobby to my arsenal of crafty talents. During this most recent visit, I also noticed they carry embroidery kits, basket-weaving supplies, and even a small assortment of interesting-sounding seeds. If you're the crafty type (or just dream of being one) definitely pop into Northwest Yarns - I'm sure you'll be just as inspired as I am!

Most of the staff is so kind and helpful, but there is one employee who seems to always be there when I go who is so unpleasant and bad-mannered that I've found myself avoiding this store and going to others in town whenever I can. If you go any time after 3pm, don't expect someone with a good attitude to help you.

It pains me to write this review of what used to be one of my favorite stores. And I was a sad as…read moreanyone when I saw they had to close over a year ago due to a fire. And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.

I thought it would be easy to get something personalized and spent untold hours on the computer, only to be disappointed again and again. After continually filling out information, I would find that the hat I wanted was either ridiculously expensive to personalize or required a minimum number to purchase. Finally, my husband suggested I look for a local business. Finding Bergen and Company was a wonderful option. They helped me find a vendor to get exactly the hat I needed at an exceptionally reasonable price, did a beautiful job with the embroidery, and were extremely respectful of my concern for delivery during this Covid pandemic. I recommend them very highly and will certainly be using this fine company for future orders.

Effortless dressing - no more fussing with pinchy, bind-y clothing! Ever since discovering Texture at a Green Festival a few years years ago, I've worn their "comfy skirts" at least two times a week. I now own seven of their skirts: two mini and five regular length (just below the knee). I wear them in warm weather with bare legs, and all winter with sweater tights. At the office and on weekends. With flats, boots, and heels. I also have a pair of Posh Pants that I'm fond of, though that style is less versatile. Their hemp fabric with four-way stretch is amazing stuff. It holds its shape, sways nicely when you move, and takes color well. It's neither too heavy nor too thin. Unlike many other knits, it doesn't fade, pill, or cling. The amount of "give" is also just right, and seems miraculously figure-flattering for all body types. It packs well and doesn't wrinkle, so is perfect for travel. Texture is a bit pricier than some other clothing, but I've found it to be worth every penny, particularly when thinking in terms of cost-per-wear. I live on the east coast and (unfortunately) don't make it to the Pacific northwest very often, so I haven't been to Texture's storefront. Sometimes I have found their products locally in Maryland (e.g. at Nest), but I've also ordered online and I love dealing directly with Teresa and her staff, not some impersonal corporate ordering system. I'd love to visit them on their home turf some day! Ladies, do yourselves a favor and try a Comfy Skirt. Me, I'm about to order my first one in maxi length!
