TLDR: Absolutely incredible customer service, some of the loveliest and most caring women I have…read moreever met. Beautiful store with lots of options, if they don't carry what you want they will order for you. Willing to go above and beyond to make your knitting dreams come true!! Cannot begin to explain how lovely this shop is in every way. I started going there a few months ago when I decided I wanted to try knitting, I had NO idea about anything so I went there with only a picture in my mind of what I wanted to make. Kelly (the store owner) helped me pick out the right size needles, and when they didn't have all the colors of yarn I needed for my project, she offered to order me the right one to come with her next order so it would be a bit cheaper. She also set me up with Dawn, one of the instructors, who taught me the ins/outs of basic knitting form. Dawn even gave me her number so I could text her with any more questions/with picture updates of my project. Kelly and her store have also helped me with other things, including me showing up one day with a GIANT mess of yarn, 1000+ yards long, incredibly tangled that I just could not continue to try unravel and make into smaller balls. My grandmother brought it over from India. Kelly and a few other women spent two whole days working their magic to turn it into something usable!! And when I told her I was having a medical procedure done the next day, Kelly even offered to drop it off at my house so I wouldn't have to drive. I would say more but don't want to turn this review into a novel. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

The owner has excellent taste in fabrics and provides a nice balance of reasonably priced and more luxurious options.

Very disappointed with my recent visit. I've shopped here before without issue, but this experience…read morewas completely different. First, Google listed the opening time as 10 a.m., but the store did not open until 11. We had driven from Baltimore to get ahead of bad weather, tried calling multiple times, and found the voicemail full. There's no website to confirm hours, so we were left guessing whether to wait. Once inside, we spent nearly two hours selecting eight fabrics for multiple projects. Many fabrics were not priced, and the single employee cutting fabric had to repeatedly walk to the front of the store to ask the owner for pricing or answers to basic questions, which made the process extremely slow. The final issue was a large-print fabric that had deep slashes running several yards into the roll, along with visible black marks. I asked that the damaged portion be cut off or that cutting begin from the other end of the roll. The owner refused and told me that if I didn't like it, I didn't have to buy it, stating multiple times that they are a "for profit store." I have over 50 years of experience buying fabric and have never been expected to pay for clearly damaged yardage. We ultimately walked out without purchasing anything, leaving eight rolls at the cutting table--well over $1,000 in sales lost. It's disappointing to see how much this store has changed. It was once staffed by knowledgeable, helpful people who wanted to assist customers. I won't be returning.

It's a little hard to find if you're not sure where to look, but it's basically just past the bagel shop if you're coming from the south, up a flight of stairs above some bar. But don't let that fool you, it's a great shop and I walked out with way less than I wanted to buy

Pretty good selection of curated yarn brands. No accessibility in terms of getting to (stairs and…read moreno elevator) or around the store itself. I have also been turned off by the lack of customer service each time I go. Several staff members will be seated and uninterested or unhelpful when you ask a question even for a specific product. Like am I the issue? Surely not. And this is not an isolated incident, unfortunately, at this store for me.

It is the place to go to for ANYTHING PERSONALIZED. They know literally everything there is to know about monogram etiquette and overall personalization (they will even tell you cool/ different places to monogram so you're not like everyone else).

This is a great little shop in Lee Heights that offers high quality (though not outrageously…read morepriced) Women's fashion and accessories as well as adorable high end baby and toddler clothing. They also offer a great selection of unique gifts and other special items that you can't find at the countless big box stores that have taken over almost everywhere else here now. It's like visiting...Etsy...in person. If such a store existed of course. Obviously only a very very small, and very highly curated BIT of Etsy, but still...it's etsy-esque. In a good way. Well worth a visit. Especially for those "extra hard to shop for" and "already have everything" types. They're also great for the many miscellaneous gift needs that pop up throughout the year for coworkers and teachers and other people you might not know very well and whose gift options fall uncomfortably in between even the classiest target dollar bin options your best friends might love, and the fancier more expensive fare reserved for one's own children, close relatives, spouses... The "I don't really know what, but ideally something special and memorable and cool" gifts for all sorts of things like secret Santas, teacher appreciation, miscellaneous baby/bridal showers, office party exchanges, attempts to gain favor or acceptance from cringey or critical or perfectly lovely mother in laws...etc. This place is perfect for all of those and more. I've found awesome Christmas presents for my mother here two years in a row now, and many fun things for myself as well. Best boutique baby clothes section I've seen in the Arlington area, actually.

They have a great fashion sense and quality items; it makes it super easy to find something. I typically find a cute dress, sweater, throw, whatever on my own, but the staff is always there to help and is super friendly. They have a fun collection of fashion and fun. They website is always up-to-date and I typically browser there first before I go, so I know what I want to target to get. Seriously, they make it so easy to get something that I am so happy to give and that gives me time to brows around the shop and still have time to support another local business, such as: get a bite to eat or a coffee while I am in town. Mode is a critical gem that we need in our lives; please go there.
