Romni has a huge selection of all kinds of yarn. The back wall is mostly Lamb's Pride/Brown Sheep, and there's an area of all sock yarns, and there's a section of Debbie Bliss yarns on the side. I found most of the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The sale room sometimes has some really cool stuff at discounted prices. They offer a 10% student discount on all regularly priced items.

Romni isn't as young & hip as a lot of Toronto's other yarn stores, but they have e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. They're a totally necessary Toronto fixture.

I found the store hard to navigate, but the selection is tremendous. I couldn't figure out where anything was at first, it was really overwhelming. The staff seemed busy and no one asked me whether I needed anything or anything. However, after I wandered for a while, I told a lady what I was looking for and she took me all around the store and we found the exact right yarn for my project. She was hilarious - ended up taking 5 skeins of the same yarn I was buying, to purchase for herself. I also noticed that the needle selection was amazing and slightly less expensive than other stores I've seen in Toronto so far.

I really adore this store. It can be a total sensory overload for some because it is huge and packed wall to wall, floor to ceiling. I was disappointed in the lack of crochet items, but that's not unusual.

Romni can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate because of the huge amount of yarn on every possible surface but the selection of yarn and needles is outstanding. A great place to hit if you want to buy a lot of yarn for a project.

Romni is like the wal-mart of yarn stores, but in a good way. The selection is enormous, you can get pretty much anything you need here. It's daunting at first but once you get to know it, you'll love it. Nowadays, I tend to take the "surgical strike" approach to Romni: know what I want, go in, grab it, pay, leave. If you go to browse, make sure you have *lots* of time to spend because the place is a time hole. But, again, in a good way ;)

Don't know where else in TO that you can get Dale of Norway books ... besides there being an enormous selection of all types and qualities of yarns! Helps if you know what you're after as the service can be spotty... but we Torontonians would be lost without this store (in my opinion).

Massive selection, large but over-full space, often good but sometimes really bad service, easily accessible by local transit, close to local culture/shopping attractions. A Toronto tradition, but not for the faint or orderly of heart. Shoppers may feel the need for a guide or interpreter, and possibly climbing equipment to traverse occasional yarnslides.

chaos. maybe that is why the service is so pitiful? the place is about to burst at the seams.

Coming from a town with very little, this was heaven. There is so much choice. The ladies were very friendly and helpful. You have to take your time to look but it is organize by type of fiber which make your search easier.
