Alrighty fibre friends!
Let me tell you, how excited I was to find a yarn store in Waxhaw that carried hand spun yarns and more!This fabulous store has something for everyone, from Merino, alpaca, silk selection, Nylon/acrylic blends, cotton and more. The color options? Endless! The quality? Superb! And the environment presented and directed by staff? Outstanding.
What I love about this store: you can feel the stories and love that goes into textile here. You can see swatches, see finished projects like cardigans, sweaters, and shawls. You can pick two skeins up and see the difference! And when I say "difference" I mean the color blends. While single colors provide a great unity. The blends have a uniqueness that is just not obtainable from commercial retail. Making any project you create unified or a one of a kind piece.
This place feels like a gem. Organized and the variety is huge on all fronts. The yarn here isn't just yarn. It's a story, it's a feeling, emotion, and gives wonder to the eyes. I spent a solid half hour just walking with my jaw open going "wow... Oh wow!" Because of the love and care that goes into these precious goods, and the quality of yarn.
Price point is definitely reasonable as suggested. You really cannot put a price on hand spun yarn, but if I had to do so, I would say this place is the fairest I have seen in the Carolina's. If nothing else it is worth a trip just to see the various types. Definitely worth a trip for prospective fiber artists to get an idea of material, culture, and put a feel to the materials many of us learn in college.
In addition this store offers yarn from around the world. Peru, and japan to name a couple off the top of my head.
Thanks to Debby (apologies for improper spelling) for making my visit feel magical and friendly. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience today, and I cannot wait to come back soon to further grow my stash aka Hoard of yarns!
Overall I would give the following rating:
Price: 5/5
Environment: 5/5
Knowledgeable staff: 5/5
Organization: 5/5
Quality of goods: 5/5. read more
