The Weaving Works

Great selection and wonderful service. The only place in town (I know of) to get exotic spinning fibers. And look for the dollar basket - just a great store.

I love just browsing through all their yarns, especially the sock yarns. The store is also filled with completed projects which helps to inspire me. If you don't get an idea of new projects from those hanging around the store they also have a really nice selection of books and patterns.

I really like Weaving Works because the location is convenient to me, however when I go in, the staff don't seem to want to come out of their little corner. They aren't unfriendly but don't seem to go out of their way to be helpful.

Otherwise, they have a great selection and I always find what I need.

weaving works is my default "they're gonna have it if anyone does" store and they have the best collection of books and patterns, hands down. there's some interesting "holes" in their stock though....they never seem to have solid colored sock yarn!

This is probably my favorite local store. They have a great selection of yarn, regular, relevant classes and a wealth of knitting and spinning knowledge. I am sure their weaving expert(s) are fantastic as well. Parking can be a challenge during class sessions or when events are going on in the nearby University District, however.

Not good service at all even if you're buying big ticket items unless you use Suzanne or Christine, they're the only ones there (besides newbies) who don't give you snotty better than thou attitudes.

Besides a large selection of dyed yarns, Woodland Woolworks offers undyed yarn in many different weights and fibers by the cone, and allow you to wind off as much as you need. Yes, the service can be a little laissez faire, but if you know what you want, it's the serious fiber artist's heaven.

That should, of course, have said "The Weaving Works." I do wish this system allowed one to edit or delete one's own comments...

This is my favorite LYS! Worth coming to every time for the selection and great atmosphere. The staff are always wonderful and helpful - they even remember what projects I'm working on and ask me about them when I come in. It feels like an extension of my house (I wish!)

great place for spinning fiber: i got a bunch of stuff that i could pet in person before purchasing (soysilk, icelandic wool, tussah silk top, angelina sparkle, etc). i really enjoyed browsing this store.

I always stop in @ Weaving Works when in Seattle and have had them send me supplies when I'm stuck at home. Love their selection and tools
