I'm very new to knitting, and this was just what I needed. I got some important tips, and learned something called Tink! Previously I came in with my first ever project looking for some tips. Two ladies at the front desk took a lot of time to help me out. I also left with some nice little tools that really helped me out. Friendly staff, and it looks like they have a big selection for a small space. Definitely come by and check them out, and bring your project if you need some help. I've seen they have group and individual class options.

My daughter and I have wanted to visit Starlight Knitting Society since we moved here, and finally,…read moreafter many months, we managed to check them out on the first day of the 2026 Rose City Yarn Crawl. Though they were packed with other shoppers, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We each purchased a few skeins of yarn, and my daughter picked up an adorable claw clip in the shape of a ball of yarn with knitting needles. There was a wide variety of yarn, from cost-conscious basics to mid-priced natural fiber staples, all the way to sumptuously decadent fiber yarns at a luxury price point. Their needle selection was robust, their notions and other celebratory yarn-goodies plentiful as well. There is literally something for everyone here! They also have a wall dedicated to cross-stitch/embroidery with super fun kits. I know I missed mentioning something since it was stuffed to the gills with people, and if I'm honest, I was a little overwhelmed, but we look forward to returning soon for a more leisurely amble.

First of all, the staff were some of the nicest people I have ever met. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and were happy to answer any questions I had as they came up. They were also extremely friendly and seemed to want to get to know me, what projects I'm working on, and what I was looking for. Second, the selection and prices were unbeatable. Starlight Knitting Society had so many different yarns and crafting accessories to choose from at very reasonable prices. Despite wanting to buy everything in the store, I left with a Starlight Knitting Society tote bag (my new favorite bag to carry my knitting projects in) and a tension ring. I really wish I lived closer to Starlight Knitting Society. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Portland!

I have been trying to find someone to do the repair and have no luck. Finally I decided to look up knitting shops on Yelp, hoping someone will be able to help. I called Nirto Knitters, and a lady picked up the phone quickly. She was upbeat, friendly and sympathetic. She explained almost no one would do the repair because it always looked "not great" (kinda like a thick patch). However, she recommended the "needle felting" method. I quickly googled it and it looked doable for small holes! Oh I really hope it will works! For this experience, I recommend NItro Knitters for anyone who need knitting guidance.

Pendleton…read morerepresents this time in our history with high quality wool blankets and clothing of beautiful, rustic prints, most in warm colors and patterns of various landscapes. The desert, mountains, forests and coast of the west and PNW are expertly weaved in. The blankets are heirlooms, classic in design and made to last for generations. And they are warm! I have one and even on the coldest night, it keeps me toasty! The wool is soft, not scratchy like some wool items can be. Having one of their coverlets or blankets on your bed will transform your room. Literally. Their clothing, for men, women and children is just as exceptional. The coats, jackets, capes and sweaters are so warm, in addition to being comfortable and beautiful. I'm considering purchasing a cape to keep me warm on my daily walks. The weight is perfect plus it allows for free arm movement. To adorn your home there are rugs in a variety of sizes from small doormats to full area rugs. They make bath towels, throw blankets, and pillows; they have an ever expanding collection of prints which immediately shout Pendleton. So many patterns to choose from! Most are muted colors on a neutral background. Aztec, jacquard, plaid, stripes, heritage, rustic. Some with prairie scenes, the Northern lights, mountains, eagles, elk and other animals and landscapes found in the west. Each is truly a work of art! If you love the prints but want something smaller, they have coffee mugs, water bottles, canteens, baseball caps, wallets, totes, handbags, backpacks, and even masks with their signature prints. They make fantastic gifts that people love to receive. This store, on SE McLoughlin is massive with all the regular premade merchandise plus rows of fabrics. And an area where they sell remnants by the pound and yarn. Of course depending on what you are looking for, it's hit or miss but there was a large selection. While I don't sew, I am considering buying a 2 yard remnant and paying someone to sew a hem so I can use as a throw for my bed. The colors and pattern is so beautiful that I can't stop thinking about it and know it will instantly transform my room. Prices are definitely on the higher side and some specific items actually made me gasp out loud! But you are paying for the brand, legacy and quality. Even though I was in the store for a significant amount of time, I was never acknowledged or greeted. While this usually doesn't bother me because I'm very independent and prefer to browse on my own, but because the store was so large and I was the only one there, having no acknowledgement of my presence felt cold and uninviting. For those interested in the history, Pendleton is an Oregon icon dating all the way back to 1863 when Thomas Lister Kay, an Englishman and weaver by trade, made the cross country journey to the PNW and began working in Oregon's woolen mills. He then opened a wool mill in Salem, OR. The blankets and clothing were not only practical, they became the standards of trade and ceremonial use. In 1909 his descendants took over the defunct Pendleton Wool Mill in Pendleton, OR, and Pendleton remains a private business run by descendants of Thomas Kay to this day. Pretty remarkable. John Bishop, the great-great-grandson of Thomas Kay, is president and CEO; and great-great-grandson Peter Bishop is the Executive VP of Merchandising and Design. Pendleton operates seven facilities and 41 retail stores that sell products throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and Korea. The company headquarters are in Portland, Oregon, and the fabrics and blankets are still woven in PNW mills. So while visiting Oregon, bring home a  piece of history that is beautiful and practical! And for those locals like me, having a touch of Oregon history accenting your home is a nice touch.
