No one in my family sews, knits or needlepoints, and I hadn't been taught elsewhere. Yet, I've always wanted to create something with my hands. Fortunately, Mary Margaret, the owner of Notion Fabric & Craft encouraged me to confront my fear of the sewing machine! It doesn't hurt that her store is NOT overwhelming like many craft stores I've been to. Though she is fully stocked with beautiful fabrics, yarns, patterns, crafting accessories and tools, stepping inside Notion feels like you have been invited into someone's home studio. I have taken two of Mary Margaret's classes. The first one was the first time I ever touched a sewing machine. I left with a beautiful tote bag that I am able to boast that I made. In the second class, she taught us how to make a shirt. Mary Margaret is a wonderful, patient teacher who supports you in all of your mini-milestones and successes, as well as your...uh...learning opportunities along the way. I particularly appreciated her talk about clothing sizes in stores and how all of our bodies are unique and fluctuate from time to time. We can't be defined by someone else's size or idea of a size! The classroom upstairs is a bright and inviting community space. Mary Margaret offers tea and coffee for added coziness. Notion Fabric and Craft is a much needed addition to Montpelier for expert crafters and novices alike. Do yourself a favor and take a class taught by Mary Margaret!

Also, Amanda (the shop owner) and Stephanie possess tremendous knowledge about both knitting and crochet and they are always willing to help! If you are in Rutland and you are knitter or hooker ;) you absolutely should check out this shop! Don't even bother with the big national chain stores who don't know dpns from k1p1s!

There is also a nice selection of yarn from some of the larger fiber companies. The highlight for me is the selection of beautiful roving - both natural and dyed - for spinning. There are even yarns from local flocks that have been colored with natural plant dyes. So special! There are also very nicely assembled kits of local yarns and patterns. They make great gifts for knitters. As well as all the usual notions, the shop offers knit nights, classes, and workshops for children. It feels very community-oriented. I love that the store sells local wool and that spending money helps both a local business, and local farmers and fiber artists. Keep it local! Don't shop online!!!
