This is one of the best stores I've ever been in. Their selection of yarn, accessories, books is topknotch. Best part is the staff who are very helpful and make you feel welcome in their store. One of my favs.

The staff was very unfriendly and not helpful. They made me feel very uncomfortable

I love the new location. Ginger, the new owner, and Nancy, one of the staff, were extremely friendly and helpful, but left me alone as soon as I indicated I wanted to look around on my own. They have tons of yarn and they have fiber and drop spindles for spinning. They have a large variety of books, bags, needles, crochet hooks and other accessories. There is a sitting area and 3 class tables, the tables are awesome btw, they decoupaged them themselves. One of the tables will seat at least 16 and the other 2 will seat 8-10 each it looked like. They don't have tons of novelty yarn like at the old location, a huge plus.

I visited this shop in '09 and had total sensory overload because of the enormity of the shop!

Huge selection, large book selection, ample seating in a variety of areas in the store, lots of knitted samples, big containers of buttons to sift through, and a huge selection of yarns in all different price ranges. My husband and I were greeted when we came into the store (even if it took a little longer than it should) and then later on I was asked if I needed a little help one too many times, which annoys me. This often comes off to me as "are you shoplifting," because I used to work retail, and this is what we were trained to do when "unfamiliar" faces came into the shop and lingered. I mean... for the most part, I think people tend to come in and browse (unless they are shopping for a specific project), especially when they are from out of town. Anyway... after the sales lady followed me around the shop for what seemed like an hour (but was probably 6 or so minutes), I'm guessing she could sense I was getting irritated and she said something to the nature of sorry if I'm driving you crazy, which made me laugh! Whatevs. I did not make a purchase because that overbearing customer service weirded me out.

All in all, great selection and if/when I'm in the area, I would more than likely stop by this shop if I were itching for yarn or wanting to see some new yarn/colors in person.

An amazing store--such a great selection! So many different brands, fibers, types, etc.

Accessibility: this store is quite accessible for wheelchairs and other mobility aids.
