I would absolutely recommend this to anyone as a fun date night or just a fun thing to do!

My friend and I decided we wanted to do something different than dinner for our hang out session…read more.. so we decided to try tufting! Here are my thoughts: Location - The location is spacious and cute instead, reminds me of an art gallery. Parking - this is where it gets confusing, its in a small space but parking was confusing for me. I recommend coming earlier to find parking. My favorite thing was the was that the instructor made sure each of us knew what we were doing before having us doing it on our own. I also loved the music while we worked. I would come back! It was very easy and relaxing!

I had NO idea what tufting was before this. Came with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday and…read moreit was the perfect event. We were a group of several couples so each couple created 1 rug ($75 per couple). That worked great for us, I think it would have taken us longer for each individual to make one, and it allowed us to use teamwork. You start off with a short safety demo and a chance for everyone to quickly practice. Beforehand they send you template options so you know what you're creating. They also let you send a custom design which is what I did. This was such a fun new experience! Once you get going it's pretty relaxing. You will need to return in a few days to pick up your finished rug. FYI, you can't see any signage from the street, but it's right next to the ice cream shop. Parking: paid street parking and a few paid spots right in front of the business.

In addition to being an art gallery and having painting classes, ghost tours are also launched from here. I was lucky enough to go on Ann's tour and it was so fun and interesting. There is SO much history here and Ann knows all of it. I loved hearing the stories at each stop. The thing with a small town is that everyone knows where the bodies are buried.....and there are plenty here in Covington. The first night of our event there was a power outage downtown. That made it the perfect setting for our group! What a great spot with or without electrify! If you have any interest in art or ghosts, this gallery is the place for you.

This is the first time I've ever felt welcome in a local yarn store as someone who prefer crochets.
