I love this store! Not only is there a fantastic selection of all kinds of yarns they are so…read morehelpful! They have helped me time and time again to find the right yarn I need for my projects in the colors I want as well as sharing lots of knowledge of what yarn is best and what substitutes I can use if I want a specific feel or durability. When I get confused and stuck on a pattern I can pop here and they will patiently help me through it. If you want lots of help you can have a one on one lesson for only $10 an hour! It is nice atmosphere to come and knit (or whatever your hobby is) in and there are groups that meet during the week that you can join into as well. Overall just a wonderful store with excellent and friendly staff!

This place is packed to the GILLS with yarn.

When the staff finally paid attention to me, I asked for any local artisans (spinners, dyers, animals). They didn't have anything new to me--they mentioned a couple Vancouver dyers, but being from Vancouver I wanted something from Vancouver Island. They also may have had 1 dyer from the Island but I'd already bought that artisan's yarn at another store. Overall, the experience was an overload for my senses, and disappointing for my stash enhancement (since I was looking for something so specific). If I was just generally looking to buy yarn--lots of selection at Mad About Ewe!

Elizabeth patiently helped me work out what I needed for certain projects --- even staying a bit late as I made decisions. Easy to lose track of time in that place. It looks like a small store but you will need hours to go through all the beautiful yarns they have. Love how they support the local community too.

I really appreciate this store, it's small but has an amazing selection! The owner is so sweet and…read morehelpful. I am just learning to knit, definitely had no idea what I was doing. The owner took the time to talk with me about what my first project was, what I'd need, gave recommendations for good starting blends and even printed out some instructions (free of charge). i find the prices super reasonable and they have a lovely selection of local wool I felt so welcomed and can't wait to begin my newest project!! #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness 10/10 recommend shopping here!

This store is lovely. It's got good sized aisles, the shelves aren't over stuffed, and the staff…read moreare helpful without being forceful about making a sale. I was looking for a local dyer/spinner/artisan for Souvenir Yarn, and the staff member was able to point me in the direction of one. She actually didn't even come out from behind the desk, which in a small store where I was the only customer, actually was fine. If there had been more than just me in the store, this would have felt dismissive. The organization was a bit haphazard in my opinion; the dyer I was looking at was placed at various places around the store, I think depending on weight or perhaps fibre type. I'm not sure. But in the end I found something I liked, the staff member was helpful recommending patterns and telling me about the sample garments I was admiring. Then we had a funny chat about their logo/mascot. They had a name contest and I think the character was eventually named Gordon "Ram"sey.
