Noro free pattern. This will be my Seattle project-- purchased and knitted while in Seattle; finishing work at LYS by my yarn shop bestie!

What a lovely place in such an unexpected location. I got to hide away from the crowds for a few hours-- yarn has a way of distracting me. The ladies were lovely and the yarn choice was exclusive. I have four more project to complete that will be my Seattle memoirs. Update-- I finished my first Noro one skein project and I'm in move. Can't wait to make another one.

This is "Knitter's Husband" review!! This is just the most awesome yarn shop... hands down. I'm a "knitter's husband" so all the knitter's will know what that means.... I get dragged into just about any and every knitting store that my wonderful wife can find. Some are really a PITA for me - tiny, claustrophobic, weird choices of yarn and not pleasant for her, no place for me - a "non-knitter" to sit and just chill to give her lots of time to browse. "So Much Yarn" in this regard is "So Much Win"!! To start off, it's in Pike Place Market on 1st and Pike - CRAZY cool place to be in Seattle even for us, being locals (Port Orchard). The place is pretty huge as yarn stores go, and arranged/merchandised in a most beautiful way even for a non-knitter like me. Beautiful view of the pouring rain outside the windows to the West, over the market. There are two very comfy chairs right by the front doors - us "non-knitter companions" can sit, and happily surf the web or read or whatever - with the door to the market right there if you want to step out while the "knitter surfs the yarn" But best of all were the staff - Anne really wanted a project kit she found, and picked out some yarns... but the sales rep (GREAT person but we didn't get her name - works 2 days a week in her retirement) was absolutely AWESOME!!!! She worked in great detail with Anne to go over the project - and helped her choose a better combination of yarns - something in all my years in yarn shops I've never seen. She was AMAZING. We went from "well honey, I'm ready to go and I resisted the urge" to me saying "but wait! show me what you were looking at!". That's when we went back and the sales person really went deep into the pattern, the method, the required needles and skills - it was just awesome. We ended up leaving with about $96 in new yarn, a pattern, and a new set of #8 32" needles for Anne to build the kit. It was a win-win for me - my wife was happy, the sales person was happy, and I was happy. Truly one of the best yarn stores (of a great many) I've been to in a long time. HIGHLY recommended.... and look at me - I don't even know how to knit!!! Dave

Over charged for what I bought.

I used to love coming into this store when I lived in Washington, even thou I was never greeted nicely. We've moved out of Washington, but now when we visit I still enjoyed visiting this store until this last time. I was wring you incorrectly and over charged. I don't know if it was because I put my stuff down and told my husband to pay and he was not aware of the items I was getting or price. The lady at the register even made a comment saying yarn isn't cheap anymore. Well since our travel and the holidays I finally brought out the bag to start my project and found the receipt. Such a disappointment to see this over priced purchase. Not shopping here again!!!

See all

The lady running the shop seemed bothered by our presence...felt unwelcome, would've purchased some of the beautiful yarn.

I can't believe it took me until now to check out this place! They had a large apparel fabric,…read morequilting fabric, and even furniture and other technical fabric, all sorts of notions, even a large yarn section and miscellaneous crafts. There were popular brands with a large selection from each such as Fableism, Ruby Star Society, Sarah Hearts, etc. I ended up with some gorgeous deadstock cotton seersucker, out of my comfort zone but very special. One critique is that their bottomweight and coating section was fairly limited, but I'm assuming that they were slowly transitioning into Spring/Summer choices at that time. Everything felt high quality and intentionally selected, not at all like the big box stores. Pricing was on-par with most independent stores - not cheap, but worth it. I hear that they have sales every once in awhile so I will be on the lookout. The day I went, it was absolutely packed! The parking lot is relatively small so you might have to get lucky or circle around a few times when you visit.

If you are a quilter or craft sewer, you will find something here. And they still have a specialty fabric section with upholstery snd fabric for outside clothing plus a bridal section. Prices seemed as reasonable as any place I've been. Stop by and check it out!

Always very disappointing when I have to do an update on a previously celebrated business. This has…read morebeen my go-to place since moving to Seattle in 2012. And I supported it wholeheartedly despite sometimes finding items slightly cheaper elsewhere. Additionally, as an art educator I always suggested it to my students for their value, as well as excellent and knowledgeable customer service. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed to say both superb customer service and cost value are gone. Firstly, I learned from my students that student discount was no longer available. Then after my last visit, I was stunned how much the prices have increased. Still, I remained a dedicated patron. After coming home I realized one of the expensive wooden panels had a substantial gouge in the corner - simply too noticeable to try fixing. I confidently returned to the store but was told they would not take back the damaged items - because they couldn't verify it was damaged before my purchase. The associate was unbearably rude and dismissive. One my way out I expressed my profound disappointment with the current direction of this trusted business with another associate, only to have the associate I originally spoke with catch up with us. Now they changed their song, saying they could accept the damage item but I was very lucky because it's not something they always do. What?! The associate appeared to be making up policies as they went along. In the end I kept the damaged wooden panel, as I will keeping my business away from this place.
