    Recycled yarn from Knitting Tres
    Penny F.

    I feel like an imposter coming into any yarn store so I am so glad I went to this one. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I like the idea of supporting small businesses like this who really serve the community. I definitely am going to take a class from them because everyone seems so welcoming.

    LOVE LOVE!!! not only are the employees (and customers) incredibly sweet and helpful, but the store is also beautiful and filled with many many different brands and yarn types. even when i ran out of yarn, they were able to fulfill a special order over the phone and the shipment arrived in store in less than a week. the yarn is reasonably priced for the quality.

    Lots of chickens!!

    I walked to The Knitting Tree from LAX when I had a long layover. Walked. From LAX. Yes. (Sometimes a woman just needs a little more fiber in her life...and I didn't relish sitting for hours in an airport.) Perhaps it was the 3 miles through warehouse complexes, maybe it was the persistent grey skies or the light smell of charred city still lingering from the LA fires, but it felt like a burst of fuzzy sunshine when I opened the front door and stepped in. Two big wood tables full of happy knitters! Women everywhere, in every color of the human rainbow, many with a needle of some kind and a trailing tail of some gorgeous fiber they were working their magic on. The walls are filled with balls of yarn and art. And the chickens!! There are knitted comfort chickens everywhere! This is an oasis. If I lived in LA, I'd haunt the place, just set up a little cot for myself in a corner and take up residence with all the chickens and spend the rest of my time with the lovely people who own, run, and frequent the shop. It's just that lovely:) Btw, thanks for the ride back to the airport;)

    I wanted to learn to read a pattern so I dropped in to the Knitting Tree LA. That was nearly four years ago and there is not a week goes by when I don't find myself dropping in for a class, some supplies, or enjoying social knitting. I learned to read my pattern, but I have gotten SO much more from this shop. The community vibe here is friendly, welcoming, supportive, kind, accepting, and funny. When I am out of town I miss it a lot.

    See the bottom?  I don't know what happened since the lot numbers all matched.

    So I finished my daughter's baby blanket and boy! Was I disappointed. I spent many hours and the last of the blanket the yarn colors were totally off (see picture). It's The Knotting Trees fault that's why I kept the five stars. We all looked at the lot numbers and everything matched. So I don't know what happened. Unfortunately I can't give this blanket to my daughter so it'll go in the trash since second hand shops don't even take blankets anymore.

    Just sweet people.

    Well Yarn it! I wish I was into this. Such an amazing community in this nice shop. I brought a friend whom says: "prices are great and what a selection". For me it was the wonderful way the owner and employee interacted with all the people there for the Sunday yarn gathering. So if this is your thing or you have interest this place seems like a wonderful place to visit. Just off the 405 freeway.

    I'm so glad I made a special stop to go to this yarn store. The owner is friendly as well as her regulars. They have instructors with their own group that meets at the store. I happen to be come during that day. The lady approached me and was very friendly. I learned about the emotional support chicken kit! I never knitted an animal before so I figured why not. Is store is definitely a good place to checkout if you find yourself down at Inglewood!

    The owner Annette was so cool and welcoming! Fun selection, regular events and classes, would definitely come back. They have chickens!

    I went in for a skein of yarn and came out with more than I expected because I couldn't help myself.

    I ordered a pack of solid colored gift bags from the website. I received notification the next…read moremorning that my order was ready. Pickup was quick and easy. My item was on a shelf with other orders. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to help myself and asked one of the employees who took it off the shelf for me. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. The bags are nice and sturdy and will be useful throughout the year for gift giving.

    My mother and I've been loyal Michaels customers for years as full-time artists and hobbyists,…read moreunfortunately the customer experience at this store, specifically at the Vista Store in Torrance, has declined significantly. I hope my feedback warns other customers and helps management understand what's happening at the store level. A few days ago, I went in to quickly pick up an online order after receiving both email and text confirmation that it was ready. My name wasn't on any of the pickup bags, so I asked for assistance. A manager briefly looked around, said he would check by the registers, and then proceeded to count cash in the register instead of helping me. After I approached him again, he passed me off to another employee who also couldn't find the order. I eventually noticed a bag with my name on the floor behind the register. They scanned it, and I left. When I opened the package later that night, I realized not only was the bag dirty--with a footprint on it--but the product inside was the wrong brand. I had ordered a specific brand on sale, and they substituted an Artist Loft item without informing me. The receipt label didn't match the product at all. I returned to the store the next morning, where the female manager told me they had substituted their own brand because the original item wasn't in stock. That explanation made no sense--if a customer orders Prismacolor, you don't replace it with Artist Loft. When I questioned it, she impatiently said, "Well, I'm returning it for you," with no apology, empathy, or effort to acknowledge the mistake. Not only did I waste over 30 minutes during the initial pickup, but I also had to make a second trip to return their error. A simple, sincere "I'm sorry" would have gone a long way. While I was there, I asked about another pending order. They told me if the item was on the shelf, I can get it. Even though the item showed available at this store, we couldn't find any. I ended up canceling it. More waste of time! Later that afternoon (4:11 p.m., Dec. 3), I called the store because the website was now showing the item in stock. The person who answered the phone cut me off with, "No, I'm too busy," without any courtesy or suggestion to call back. The level of rudeness at this store has become consistent and noticeable, even my young child has commented on it. This pattern of dismissiveness, errors, and lack of customer care is extremely disappointing. I hope regional or district management takes these issues seriously and restores the professionalism and positive atmosphere Michaels was once known for. (I've never shopped at Hobby Lobby until recently, and the vibe there is completely the opposite. It's warm, friendly, and the price of same brand products WAY cheaper than Michaels!!!) A few additional concerns for fellow customers: Many art supplies are significantly cheaper at Hobby Lobby, Amazon, or Dick Blick online. I genuinely prefer supporting local stores, but not at the expense of higher prices and poor treatment. When returning online orders paid through PayPal, you can request a cash refund. Store employees stubbornly claim they can only issue store credit, but when I called to ask, customer service confirmed that is NOT true. I now have over $100 in store credits! And I'll tell you next why I wouldn't opt for Michaels store credits. At the Redondo Beach location, an employee scanned two store credit receipts--each worth over $80--and told me they had no balance. He even asked if I wanted to throw them away. I later confirmed this was his error, but when I brought it up during a future visit, the same staff member simply shrugged while leaning on the register with his leg up. He no longer works there, but the value of those credits was never recovered, and I never received so much as an apology. Another ongoing concern is price inconsistencies. As someone who shops at Michaels often, I know the prices and watch for coupons like most loyal customers. However, the prices on the shelves frequently do not match the prices at the self-serve kiosks. I've asked for assistance on this four or five separate occasions, and it's surprising that the issue remains unresolved. Even worse, staff often appear visibly irritated when the discrepancy is pointed out. Right before a recent 40% promotion, prices on many items were increased in the kiosks but not updated on the shelf displays. I picked up a few items, excited to finally use the long-awaited 40% discount. At the register, everything rang up at the higher price. When I asked about it, I was told that "the overnight crew forgot to change the tags," even though every version of the item was still marked at the regular price on the shelves. In the end, it would have been cheaper to buy the items at their regular price with the standard 25% coupon than during this so-called 40% sale. I wondered why I still shop there. I guess because we are creatures of habits!
