Cute little shop. Nice selection of local hand-dyed yarn. They paid attention to both of us, as I was shopping with my adult daughter, not something that always happens. They're fairly new, but if they keep it up, they're bound to succeed. read more

It was a rainy, cold Saturday morning and we wanted to take a drive, so we headed out of Vegas towards the town of Kingman. We've often driven through on our way to Phoenix or Texas, but today, we wanted to explore "downtown". We made the loop, stopping in at the Route 66 museum, and back to the cute little yarn store my husband had read about. It was a little crowed, with about six to eight people talking, some sitting and working on a project, while others were "shopping" for yarns. The owner was busy talking with customers and working the " spinner" cranking by hand to get their selections spun into a ball. As I walked in the door, she turned and greeted me and invited me into the shop. Immediately, I felt comfortable and wanted to browse around. The owner asked me if I had something particular in mind and I told her no, just wanted to see what she had. I prefer to buy yarn but my senses, I am attracted by texture, and color, then I read the label and find out where it's from, and I then envision in my head what I'll do with it and proceed to make my selections. The owner kindly asked if I would like her to spin it for me, but seeing there are several hanks waiting decided to decline. I am checked out and she puts my selections into a "recycle" bag and given a free logo pencil. She enthusiastically asks me to return soon, which based on my experience will most definitely. Good little shop, nice selections, friendly service, with good prices. read more

The Spinster - Art Classes Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Amazing collection of yarn to choose from!!! The ladies that work there are so friendly! I left with a few skeins of Japanese yarn and I'm hoping to stop by next time I drive through. It's so rare to find a great yarn store read more

What a delightful find! If you are a knitting, crocheting, weaving, spining, laceing, basket-making, enthusiasts or just want to learn the skill, then this is the place for you! I am so happy to have found a place that carries quality yarns - not the type you are supplied with at Walmart. This little shop's owners are wonderful ladies who really know their stuff. They provided me with a nice, event-filled newsletter for the array of classes they teach. Their prices are very reasonable. If you are already skilled in needlework - you are gonna LOVE this shop. If you want to learn a new craft, THIS is the place to go. I can see why they've been in business for seven years. read more

I first visited this shop while here to take care of my late uncle's final business. We had just retired, and I loved it so much that based partly on my need to have a knit group that is "family", we moved here from Virginia. Every Wednesday, officially from 2 to 4, but really all day, a WONDERFUL group of ladies ( we would welcome men too, but so far, none) meets here, too knit, crochet, or just sit and chat, and help if you have trouble on a project. Wonderful georgous yarns are available, from budget friendly, to reasonable, and a few so drop dead georgous, that I dont care what it costs. Colors, and different fibers to please everybody. Best yarn shop on the planet !! read more

I've shopped here many times. I don't think I will be again, however. I bought a circular knitting needle and wasn't happy with it so I went back ready to exchange it for a different size a few days later. I was told I was stuck with the one I didn't want. No returns/no exchanges on needles. I like to give my business to the small businesses, but I wouldn't have had this problem at one of the "big box" craft stores. read more

I'm new to Arizona and miss my Local Yarn Shop in California terribly. So I Googled and found this shop. I was so excited to check it out, plus I always want to support the Small Business person. The selection was alright, it's a small shop. The Owner was a very nice lady. It was her "Open Knitting" time, it was apparent that these ladies do not want new people to join their group. My old LYS, on Open Knitting day or even during classes, if someone walks through that door you are welcomed with a chorus of Hellos, welcome, did you bring something to work on, have a seat and chat with us. If I can't make it to California to my old LYS, I'll order on line. Such a shame that the patrons of this shop don't care enough about the owner to try to bring in new business to help her out. When I left I checked and saw there was a Quilt and Yarn shop around the corner, However, she is not selling yarn any more. But she did direct me back to the Spinster, I told her how I had just come from there and felt very unwelcome, another lady in the shop said I was the second person that day to say the same thing. I've never quilted, but had a wonderful visit with Donna at the Quilt shop, so the day wasn't a total disaster. read more
