Well stocked, well lit and an overall friendly place.

This is one of my happy places. The staff is friendly, the yarns are plentiful, and the atmosphere is welcoming.

I love this store. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The store is very well lit and "touch baskets" are available for almost every yarn.

Absolutely wonderful. A definite keeper. The people were wonderful, gave great directions when we were lost. A wonderful selection of yarn. Great lighting. Well organized. We also got a free star on the card they have.

The Yarn Basket struck me as a fun and friendly store. The energy was palpable, as staff bustled to help the influx of shoppers from the I-91 Shop Hop last weekend. They were excited to be part of the shop hop and happy to see us. Service was excellent, and there were plenty of yarns to consider in various weights and price points. I can't fault the small selection of books and magazines, because the independent LYS can't compete with the prices of Amazon, Knit Picks, and big box stores, but the selection of individual patterns was ample. I enjoyed looking through notebooks full of them.
I live several states away, but if I lived closer, I could see becoming a regular at this wonderful shop!
