A wonderfully bright and spacious store with good quality yarns. The staff is very friendly and helpful and there are comfortable places to sit and knit. I'll definitely be going back there again!

You can't do better for service, support, and selection. A lovely, open space, comfy seating, friendly fellow-knitters, a perfect sitting area for knitting. HIGHLY recommended!

A much needed shop, very professional, friendly and informative. A family atmosphere, drop in seat by the fire and knit and have a coffee, what a pleasant idea.

A friendly LYSO who's always offering coffee to visitors, snacks, and a bathroom! I might just move in...

Whether you pop in once a month, once a week or everyday, you are made to feel like home here. Yarns fit a variety of budgets and needs. There is always friendly advise at your asking, or you can browse the many books and yarn at your leisure. Come sit on a comfy couch with your hook or needles and you just may never go anywhere else, including home
Coffee, snacks and the loo are an added bonus, plus they run classes.

Even though I have moved from Toronto, Creative Yarns is such a good shop. Nina is very knowledgeable and I love her philosophy that mistakes are not mistakes, just a new pattern.
Always comfortable she encourages her customers to stay and knit for awhile by offering tea or coffee. The selection of yarns / needles is a nice variety. All in all a store that I would suggest to anyone in her area of Toronto.

Nina has excellent taste when it comes to buying yarn for the shop. You will find everything from alpaca to linen to silk to cashmere. Don't see your colour, Nina will special order for you. The atmosphere is so friendly. Coffee is offered on the house as well as munchies. The couches and women (some men) are welcoming for a morning or afternoon or all day knit.
