This is my new favorite yarn shop in Seattle. I came in for needles and the lovely (I assume owner)…read morewas wonderful. the selection is a lovely mix of classic work horse yarns (Berroco, etc,) but also really nice hand dyed small batch yarns. I managed to leave without buying yarn, but she is holding two skeins until I get paid which is amazing. I am trying to stick to a budget and her holding yarn for a few weeks is so nice. I can't wait to go back

It's my personal ritual to make a far(er)-flung trek to a yarn store outside the main city area…read moreevery time I travel. Acorn Street turned out to be the BEST yarn store I have been to. Their selection of yarn is extensive and very organized; Juni and Si was holding a trunk show while I was there. They have a variety of both local and famous yarn (ie Madtosh, Malabrigo, Berroco), and most of all, their staff is the sweetest bunch. But, but! The thing I loved most is the sheer number of needles and notions they carry: both singular sizes and also full sets from different vendors (Lykke, Chiaogoo, KP). You can spend hours here brainstorming a project and buying everything you need to start swatching. I bought some cute pine cone stitch markers, a skein from Juni and Si for some socks and an Addi needle (with which I'm already in love with and off to the races on a new project). Thanks, Mary and Janet! I will surely, surely be back the next time I am in town.

Came in to just browse the yarn and see if they had the ChiaoGoo Quads. When I asked an employee if…read morethey had the quads in stock she had rudely snapped her fingers at another employee named Wonder to go greet customers that had just entered the shop. I found that behavior very off putting and it happened twice during my discussion with her. Have some respect for your fellow employees as they aren't dogs you can snap your fingers at, they are human and should be treated as such. I ended up leaving and just ordering what I needed from another shop. If the owner or store manager sees this please encourage better behavior. I can't imagine how this employee treats other employees when customers aren't present. The employee who was rude was of Asian decent if this helps identify who was working today.

I regret that I'm not a knitter/crocheter. This place was ADORABLE…read more They had skeins of different weights and colors organized throughout the store of what looked to be high quality wools. (I don't think I saw anything made of cotton, bamboo, or polyester fibers, but ask the shop! This isn't my craft.) There was a cute card catalog repurposed to hold variously sized US needles in the back of the store. There was a small column that held other needles and notions, like curved needles, row counters, row enders, etc. (Clearly this is not my craft, but I'm trying to articulate...) As you enter on the right, there's a large banquet table and a selection of pattern books. (On a table near check out there were a small handful of knitting and crochet magazines.) I presume that they either hold classes or invite people to actively knit and crochet over here. For those with accessibility challenges, this had one of the roomiest layouts of any store that I saw in Bainbridge. I believe the entrance had no stairs and there was a small parking lot in front of the store... perhaps at most 100 feet of walking. It was charming. I really wish this were my craft or that I had my sister's project needs so I could have shopped on her behalf.

I am not even a knitter, but was drawn into this store by the beautiful colorful displays. I left…read morevery convinced that I will start knitting now haha... During my short trip to Bainbridge, I visited 3 times and ended up with some yarn, a lovely book, and some patterns by Knitting for Olive. All the staff I met were so friendly and knowledgeable, and offered a lot of helpful suggestions for me as a beginner. Many project examples are left on display for you to touch and interact with, and they were all labeled with exact details of what is needed -- all very inspiring and aspirational. The yarn and book selection all seemed very high quality and wonderfully curated, very modern and yet timeless and beautiful. They even have regular classes and also craft hours where people can come in and do any sort of crafting. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm on the island!

The owner is the most friendly guy and I once met a lovely friendly woman working too! There is no hand dyed yarn here, instead this shop carries online yarn, but in store. (For example, ICE yarn) There is some Lion Brand and Red Heart, but he carries varieties that I never see in box stores. I love that you can see online yarn in person. Technically it is a tiny more expensive this way, but you save on shipping costs and can feel the yarn in person first! There are also lots of accessories available for sale, and LOTS of books! The owner is also very good about recognizing both knitters AND crocheters! (Unlike some yarn stores..) Overall, I recommend this store. There is SO MUCH yarn inside. And if you can't make it to Des Moines, there is an online Amazon store!

It's a great place to visit on a cold rainy day. There's a wonderful selection of high quality yarns in a wide array of textures, colors, patterns, and weights, and they have an excellent variety of wool roving colors. They have lots of cute notions (like buttons, clasps, pom-poms) and tools; they even have a little capsule vending machine with an assortment of cute handmade stitch markers. There's also a good selection of patterns. The shop has regular community crochet/knit and spinning get togethers, help sessions, crochet/knit-alongs, and classes; the classes and seminars are also very well priced.
