I purchased two sets of arm warmers from CCSpins and Things as a Christmas gift for myself in…read moreDecember 2015. The first set is blue, purple & green. They are shorter & go to about mid forearm. the second set is orange & black & they go all the way to my elbows. I also purchased a dark blue & light blue hat for my boyfriend which he adores. The quality is superb & absolutely cannot be beaten by anyone I've shopped with previously. You cannot go wrong with this seller!

Oh yarn, looks like this store is one of the best places to buy yarn in Chicago!…read more This shop is right next to Jones College Prep. The entrance is a bit confusing, just use the directory and they will buzz you in! The selection was great- everything from larger brands like Rowan and Cascade, to local hand dyers like Leading Men! I also thought their prices were pretty fair for a local yarn shop (e.g. skein of Rowan Made Alpaca Haze was $10 vs online is ~$8.80). The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. They will point you in the right direction but also let you browse alone (when choosing colors I need full concentration). They also offer a range of classes too! Overall, would definitely recommend this yarn shop!

100% recommend Yarnify! I visited while on a work trip. Yarnify offered an incredible variety of…read moreyarn from hand spun to value acrylic. They also offered reasonably priced hooks and needles, allowing me to complete a whole project on the flight home with some GORGEOUS yarn I could not pass up. The storefront is in a complex that requires you to buzz in. Don't be thrown off! There is great signage and the staff is ready to welcome you.

Since my first step into this business I have had only fantastic service and advice. I have met many crafters in this store and they all have said wonderful things about the shop and owner. I will add to the positive feelings as this shop has now become a respite and place to make friends. I recommend this store to everyone wanting a positive experience for knitting, painting, quilting, sewing, or just to hang out with fellow crafters. Everyone is always welcomed and offered help and assistance....which you will NEVER get at a "big store!"

Found this randomly on Yelp. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was in the area a little ways from…read morehome but I'm always on the lookout for local yarn stores. Great selection and price range. I was welcome to stay and join the Sunday knit. Friendly group, had a nice day. Oh, and they have ceramics but didn't really look around that much as it's not my thing.

I bought my wife a "sewing and machine package" for $566.00. When my wife finished the class and…read morebrought the machine home, it was not the machine that I purchased. In fact it was a machine that retailed for almost $400 less than what I paid. Ginger insisted I was mistaken and refused to make it right. She is a thief and con artist and took the magic out of sewing for my wife. Shame on you Ginger. I also contacted Bernina to let them know about her shady business practices.

As a visitor it can be unnerving visiting new places in the US, but soon as I walked into the store…read moreI received a warm welcome and felt immediately comfortable! The owner took a real interest in helping me and showing me local products. I wasn't sure what to expect walking in, as their website doesn't show their products. However there was an impressive selection to choose from, one that I felt encompassed a wide price point which I appreciated. There was lots of different brands/ fibers/ weights ranging from $4 to $30 (all great quality). A great store for garment/ sock knitters like myself, I did also spot some unique fibers that would be great for other items like bags or amigurumi. One thing I would suggest is maybe providing baskets to carry around since I bought so much!

I walked in on a Sunday around 2pm. I was never greeted by any person. There were two tables of…read morepeople knitting in groups. There was a strong odor of cigarette smoke outside the shop, but thought this could have been from someone smoking outside. Nope. The strong smoke odor permeated throughout the shop. I spent about 15 minutes in the shop, picking up several different skeins of yarn to inspect the fibers and composition. No one was at the register. I'm not even sure if anyone there was working or not. It felt like I had entered a party that I was not invited to. Strange experience. I wanted to support a local business instead of Michaels, but walked out without a purchase. Even as I was exiting there was no greeting of any kind.

A great little shop! The owner was very welcoming and informed. She helped me a lot with finding me…read moresome options for a good set of circular needles for a project. The selection of locally sourced/dyed yarn was lovely, and she had samples knitted up of different yarns nearby. The colorways were gorgeous! It's a small space but it's well organized by source for the yarn, and the yarn is definitely showcased. There were also notions like cute handmade stitchmarkers and Miss Purl needle sizers. I hadn't known, but apparently Sundays are open knitting days, so there was a group of knitters and crocheters who seemed to be having a real fun time together. I bought a skein of yarn, and they even prepped it into a center pull ball for me, which was a life saver as I don't have a lazy Kate. Will definitely be returning for future projects!

I just found out about this place last week and stopped in over the weekend. I was really impressed…read morewith the yarn selection but more than that how welcoming of an environment this is.

The tea selection is broad and buying loose tea in bulk (you can choose however many ounces you want) let me get a bunch of varieties to take home at a reasonable price.
