My go-to online yarn shop for all of my knitting needs-- specifically to buy yarn! I haven't found…read morea ton of selection with their notions and project bags, but I am very pleased with their yarns: -They have a wide selection of yarns, and I love that they always have sweater quantities in stock and ready to ship out within a day or two. My favorites are Isager, Sandnes Garn, Rauma, Hillesvag, and Jamieson's of Shetland. These are top tier yarn companies that are not the easiest to find online, and I have been so happy they are always in stock at this store. -The shop images are clear and easy to see, and I always find it very smooth and pleasant to shop online. I find myself using their site to compare yarn colors and get complete yarn information all the time since they list everything out & their images are high resolution. -They usually process my order quickly, and a huge bonus that they offer 10% certain brands and free ball winding. - I always get free shipping, and my order is easy to track and usually arrives within the work week. Overall I highly recommend them!

This is something that should be noted on the website when ordering that items shown are not actually in stock and might need to get shipped. If I'd had known that the items are not in stock or in store I wouldn't have been driving for 3 hrs to get here. Wanted to get a yarn treat left empty-handed.

This is a very nice quilting shop in downtown Rochelle. It's clean, organized, and full of project…read moreideas. I came in mostly to buy fabrics for my quilting projects. They have excellent variety of fabrics. If you are looking for seasonal patterns, their collections during Christmas and thanksgiving are impressively diverse. I usually look for simpler design which they carry much as well. The quality of the fabrics are just great. Also, they sell yarns, quilting tools, projects ideas, and many quilting inspiration products. The staff is always helpful when I'm looking for certain types of fabrics. As I know, they also have quilting classes available. For ones who don't have time for classes, they have packs that are ready for you to make at home with already cut fabrics which is nice. I'd recommend this fabric store if you need some or even if you are discovering ideas for your next projects, stop by and you'll find something pleasant !

We stopped in on a whim while we were on vacation, just walking around downtown Monroe. There was a…read moresweet atmosphere at this little yarn shop. The owner greeted us instantly and was exceptionally friendly. There was a cozy seating area that quickly filled up with local women who were there to chat and knit together. The owner makes a commitment to using local sources for her wares, and we were interested to learn that the shop sells tea that comes from our hometown! Cash or checks only (we learned this the hard way). Don't let that deter you. This quaint place is worth a visit.

What a delightful shop on Main Street in Galena. You'll find many spiritual and metaphysical items…read morehere. There are pendulums; books introducing one to paganism, or Wicca specifically as well; puzzles; tarot cards; pins; diaries; greeting cards; and so on. Nearly half of the shop features supplies for fiber crafts, so of course you'll find yarn here but also yarn bowls, cross stitch and embroidery kits, and so on. I bought several beautiful rolls of wrapping paper, which I spent a ridiculous amount of money in but it was really gorgeous and I can't wait to give some gifts now! The folks here also run a ghost tour. I overheard the proprietor speaking with some other customers, and he mentioned they do a 90 minute walking tour. I was so bummed that I had plans tonight (even more bummed that those plans didn't really materialize!!). Next time I visit I would like to take a ghost tour. It was especially interesting listening to these folks talk with the owner because they themselves are ghost hunters, and they were asking about haunted places and said they like to take their own equipment out to explore. The store is not really accessible, unfortunately. There is a big step up from the sidewalk to enter. If you have mobility issues but can manage a large step up (probably at least 6-8 inches) it may work, but wheelchair users will not be able to enter. The owners seem to be cultivating a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, so if you need assistance I'm sure they would be happy to help.

The shop is in a newly refurbished house. Contains beautiful items made from alpaca yarn (including scarves, hats, gloves, socks, sweaters). Also, has skeins of alpaca yarn.

The alpacas are just feet from the shop. In the barn and behind lovely white fences. They are so cute. We took lots of pictures. Great experience for the family. (Only open Fridays and Saturdays)
