This unassuming shop has been part of the plaza at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Steeles…read moreAve. W. for decades. You can see the store front from the roads if you're looking towards the plaza. The sign is done in a pretty font befitting its name. There's plenty of free parking. The lot is accessible from Steeles. The store looks deceptively small from the outside. It's long, and has a second floor. This specialty shop has just about anything you may require for all your sewing and thread craft needs. Not only will you find supplies, you will be able to avail yourself of the knowledge the owner and staff can share. In fact, they teach their own classes here. When we came in looking for a new pair of scissors, we enjoyed browsing the books, patterns, and accessories as well. We did find that it's a little more expensive for some things than going to the Fabricland up Weston Road, but we enjoyed the better atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting a local business. If you don't want the sterile shopping experience of a chain like Fabricland, this place is for you. The inspiration and knowledge you will come away with from here instead make it worth repeat returns.

THe ladies are quite friendly and there is actually a kitting guild at the same place. but, I never join their Snb, it should be quite good. One thing I don't like is: they have a cat there! It's a bit "smelly" inside the store.. not sure if you can find the hair of the cat, if you are allergic to cat, better don't go! Price is a bit higher than the other local yarn stores, so, I didn't buy much from them, unless I couldn't find such yarn in other stores. They do have a special discount section at the back of the store, it's worth to go and check them out. It's really a good deal! I bought some JOY yarn over there with very good deal! They have lots of magazine back issues, it's great to check them out. However, they don't have many pattern books, and not very updated too. They have lots of buttons selection, so, it's great to buy them at the same time if you are going to knit a cardigan!

I was in Toronto for meetings, and I called ahead to see if they could possibly have the circular needles that I have been chasing the world for (no joke -- everywhere I go...). He was very helpful and knowledgeable and had options! I trekked out to the shop in the pouring rain. Got the needles! A miracle indeed. Spent at least an hour browsing, bought some lovely yarn for a baby project (that I started immediately on the new needles), and will definitely go back. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Since they had those yarn in their website ; however, they don't carry them in the store. They said that I must buy them as a bag (10 balls for a bag, and cost around $270) I wish to buy few balls and went there to ask. The lady said that she can take one bag of the yarn to the store, and let me touch and feel it if I really want to buy a bag of it. So, that means, I can't buy them individually anyway, a bit disappointed. I don't need so many balls. The service is ok, not as friendly as other local yarn stores....

All of the yarn is high end and beautiful but all very similar. They also have good quality needles. The service here is not great. The women that work there later in the evening are very rude; unfriendly and it always seems like they're just waiting for you to leave. Earlier in the day, there are other ladies who are very pleasant.

This is a small yarn shop specify for Japanese yarn and Patterns…read more The store lady is very nice (and pretty too) and she has lots of Japanese patterns books for you to take a look. If you like any pattern inside, she is willing to make a copy for you (and if you buy her yarn at the same time). I think she is pretty good in crocheting as she stocked up some (VERY FINE) crochet yarn with are very elegant and gorgeous. Although the shop is small, but it's always pretty crowded with knitters there. They sit there, chat, and knit. And the store lady is more than happy to teach how to read Japanese patterns as well. She sometimes have some sales on yarn , and she put them in the bins at the entrance. It's a good place to go, as she has new items for every season. I will say that the price is pretty high for the Japanese yarn, if you compare with the European ones, but, Japanese yarn is not cheap, and with their high quality , I think it worths. *the store moved to another location within the same mall. And the name changed to : The Barn (see attached picture)
