A 3-star store for me, too. Be prepared to pay for knitting help.

A dandy shop with friendly help. Lovely yarns and fair prices. I heard the owner did some customer research before she opened, and it shows. I love this place, too!

Gorgeous shop with lots of yarn. Friendly, helpful staff. Go there!

I'm sorry to say my knitter friend and I had the same reaction to Tricoter as most of the others here. We were greeted by an dazzeling, rail-thin, overly "stylish" woman who shreiked "WelcometoTricoterwherewehelpyoumakebeautifulthings!" Somebody must have told the staff to make the customers feel welcome, but we just wanted to hide. This shop was excellent about 15 years ago, but the publication of their books and the move to a posh neighborhood (with impossible parking) seems to have negatively affected the store rather dramatically. Tsk. And I can't shop there anyway, because I just don't have the right jewelery. A woman sitting at the table was knitting a skirt (!) with yarn that cost more than my house. At my visit in late October, Tricoter did not have any sock yarn at all. They told me it was "too early." Yipes.

Lovely store with exquisite handmade garments. Very classy, but equally friendly. If you are in town for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, a visit to this store is a MUST!

I stop here on my way out to the WA coast as often as I can--it's the last real yarn store before you get to the beach. GREAT atmosphere and an owner who really cares about her customers. True small-town hospitality in an era where that's a rarity. LOOK for this store behind the Wiitamaki Jewelry Store.

Nice folks and a super selection. Well worth the drive to OLY, a city with cool shops and cooler people. Spend a day there and just walk about. I didn't run into the crabby man, just nice real yarn people who were helpful without hovering.
