I have never had the pleasure of visiting this yarn shop in person so this review is solely based…read moreoff my experience as an online customer from California! I found Michigan Fine Yarns when looking for a place to supplement the soon to be closed Joann's. Someone recommended this on an online knitting forum and I took a risk. They have a very easy to navigate website with a ton of offerings in any color, thickness, weight, and material you could image. The only downside to being an online customer is that we cannot feel the yarn. However, I received a call once when purchasing the pink yarn where they inquired as to what I was making because there were two lots with different dyes used so there was a slight color difference. I was taken aback by how thorough their customer service was and how thoughtful that interaction was! I've attached photos of some projects that I have completed (I'm new to knitting so any mistakes are truly my own and not due to the yarn). I will continue to purchase from Michigan Fine Yarns as they have a range of yarns that can fit any budget. I like to work with the 100% Peruvian wool from Cascade yarns the most and my local yarn stores don't have them in the quantity that I need. I cannot wait until life brings me to Ann Arbor and I can visit this store in person! I might feel like I've died and gone to Heaven.

The yarns are high quality and reasonably priced for what you're getting.

I'm rather introverted and I appreciate that they greet me but don't crowd me. They're very knowledgeable and the store hosts classes and offers 30 minutes of help on your project for $10. The only downside is it's very tight inside but I would say the selection is worth the sacrifice of space. If you're looking for your JoAnns replacement this is definitely it !!

One of my absolute favorite thrift shops, the staff have always been very friendly and polite any…read moretime I've gone and haven't had a single issue with anyone on staff. Each booth sets their own prices, so sometimes you'll come across a seller that's not always the most reasonable with what they've got but no more so than any other shop with a similar set up and I've found the majority of sellers to be very reasonable or at minimum on par with what I would pay ordering online. I've found the selection to be really varied, no two 'booths' feel the same and while some have more 'theming' than others I enjoy a bit of chaos that comes from thrifting at shops like this. My favorite booth is #462, which primarily focuses on a variety of vinyl records. I happened across their booth before they technically opened last year and didn't realize it wasn't even open yet, but the gentleman setting up very graciously let me browse through and pick up something. Their prices feel very fair and I appreciate that part of their sales go into donations and they indicate what percentage is going to their chosen organizations. They're one of the few vinyl sellers I've come across that takes the extra time to put new sleeves on the jackets and notes if there is any damage/how the record plays with said damage. It's a pretty small detail, but very much appreciated. I haven't had any personal interaction with other sellers, but on the whole the atmosphere feels very welcoming and is a fun place to check out.

Love that they have the cutest items that highlight the best community ever. Not from Plymouth, that's okay! I literally come here for most gifts. From Michigan related gear and gifts to the silliest items around, I can literally find something for everyone. It's unique and special, which makes shopping here even better. Is it bad that I want to accidentally keep most of the items I buy here? Beanies, pillows, magnets, candles, cards, geez! You name it! Love that I was able to come here for a bachelorette gift too! I highly recommend following them on IG too. I'm able to preview what's new and snag it before it's sold out. Score! On top of that, the owner puts out the best videos eveeerrrrr!!!

We've driven by it a few dozen times and it never caught our eye. The first thing I noticed were the jewelry counters! Jacob immediately knew we were in trouble, because I LOVE shiny things. They had a huge selection of vintage brooches, pins and other fine baubles. The floor space isn't very large but it's well-curated. There isn't "junk" here like so many antique shops tend to keep. Retro Image owns all of its items outright, which means more room for haggling! The prices seemed a little high, but again, we were able to negotiate a bit when it came time to check out AND the items were nice. In addition to all sorts of jewelry, they had an entire rack of vintage clothing in great shape, tons of leaded, bevel-edged glass panels, artwork, a basement bar set (!!), wooden furniture and branded memorabilia. The clerk, Chris, was incredibly kind and patient while showing me all different brooches behind the glass. He said their stock rotates constantly, so I'm looking forward to many more visits to Retro Image.
