It's great to see that this place has classes here and has built a great community of sellers as a way to disconnect yourself from the stress around the world. The staff here was friendly and I enjoyed a little Artisan Market full of knitted Goods featured here as well. Prices here are a little high but I love what the store offers and the story it tells. Overall, I found it as a great knitting store and a great part of the community.

I am new to the area. I walked into this lovely store. I was so excited! There were two women who…read moreworked there. They were beyond rude. I asked questions about the yarn. There answers were short. No other customers were in the store! I bought $200 worth of yarn. When I went up to the counter with my purchases, one of them started to be nice. Two other customers cane into the store while I was shopping. These women were very friendly to them. I've been knitting for sixty years. I used to manage fabric stores. I know what good customer service is. I will never walk into that store again.

I will not be back. My wife was in the store by herself between 12:30-1:30.

I'm on my second or third visit after rediscovering needlepoint, and I get happier and happier. Friendly staff and customers, a place to stitch and share, great space, great lighting, great selection. Be sure to check out the vintage tape edging machine.

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.

Everything went well. This is a healing space. You will feel more than welcome in this space. The…read moreselections of yarn is amazing, the other knitter's and crocheter will welcome you. This place is family.

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!

LOL Instead I followed my daughter around and touched all the soft and pretty yarn while she decided which of the thousands of yarns she wanted to make her sweater with. "Soft yarn, warm yarn, pretty ball of yarn. Happy yarn, sleepy yarn. Purl, Knit Purl." Sorry back to my review. We were greeted by 2 associates as we entered and they were happy to answer my daughter's questions. Not only is this a retail space, but a warehouse. They were glad to pull anything they had online from the warehouse for her to look at. Can't say enough about the quality and selection here.
