Purchased some fabric the other day and realized that it was not what was needed. I have purchased…read moretens of thousands of dollars from this store over the past number of years for a business. Many times, it is easier and more efficient to buy a bolt from the store rather than wait for the suppliers in Canada and the US. Went to Dartmouth to return the fabric today and was told to take it back to the Halifax location, Was told that there was no problem returning the fabric, since we are well known customers and usually buy large quantities of material. Was told that it had to be remeasured, which is understandable, since I may have taken an inch of two, which was not the case. Generally try to avoid the Halifax location, although it is located nearby our costuming business. I would rather spend money on tolls and gas to go to Dartmouth rather than deal with the Halifax location. The fabric was accepted, begrudgingly, although I felt that I was seen as something less than a valued customer. I was told that they do not accept returned fabric, since they have done so in the past and there have been bugs. What I am to infer from this comment? We have a large warehouse for the fabric that is clean, humidity controlled and certainly free of pests and bugs. Should I worry about bugs being in the fabric when I am buying from Fabricville? There is no information stating that there are no returns on fabric, aside from no returns on cut fabric. Please make this clear to your customers. In the future, I will shop elsewhere. I will make a point to avoid the Halifax store and can shop for sundries on line and fabric as well. I have never had a bad thing to say about the delivery drivers who come regularly to my door with packages. I learned growing up in a business family that when someone is happy, they may tell one person. If they are unhappy with the service they received they will tell ten people and so on, You have lost of customer, of which you seemingly don't care. This is unfortunate, since retail can hardly afford to disconnect with the paying public.

The only thing this store really has going for it is the staff, who are very helpful…read more Unfortunately, most the fabrics they are selling are overpriced. I saw one bolt of ordinary woven black 100% polyester fabric for a whopping $13 per metre - pass! There were a few amazing embroidered chiffons, although I don't think I'd pay upwards of $40 per metre even for that. There was a reasonably sized discount section, a huge quilting section full of 100% cotton prints, and a fairly large home decor section. The notions section is small, and so is the button selection. I left this store without buying anything. I don't thing I'd go back there unless I was desperate and had a lot of spare cash lying around.

After traveling to the depths of Barrington Place Shops, I finally located this little knit shop…read more My first impression of the place was, "really?" I was unimpressed by the lack of professionalism - it's supposed to be a store, not a messy living room. As I browse the haphazardly displayed yarns, there was a smallish stock of commercial yarns, at least compared to a regular knit shop. However, there was also a separate room that housed a messy and somewhat sparse display of hand-dyed and/or hand spun specialty yarn. Throughout the store, there were also displays of unique, creativce hand knit accessories for sale, made by the owner. I also couldn't complain about the prices, and I ended up buying a skein of brown-red wool (labeled only as 'Nova Scotia wool') for five bucks. I was able to pay by debit, after it was fished out of two feet of paper and other debris visible behind the counter. I think this could be a really neat store if the shop owner just made things more professional. It would inspire much more confidence in the products if that level was higher.

From the owner: Kreative Knits is a local yarn store which is part of the working studio of textile artist and yarn…read moredyer, Liona Jollota.
