About Laetificavi

I knit, I spin, and I'll be learning to weave soon. Not too fond of crochet, but I can do that too! :)

Lots of needles and hooks, usually a good range of other knick knacks. They have a pretty good variety of yarn, and some books, buttons, baskets.

I like the atmosphere, really. It's open and kinda cushiony/inviting. I have had a hit and miss experience with the staff, from indifferent to amazing.

I've had an experience close to that of bunnyhopper's... and I've been in three times. I tried. I've never met the owner, but the staff was rude and dishonest. The product is a little pricier, but I attributed that to the location of the previous store.

I've heard it's improved somewhat since the move.

I'm so glad that I was told about this shop! The employees were friendly and helpful and they had a pretty good range of yarn, pretty good prices too. I will definitely be going back there soon!

The selection was not very good. Unless you really want Cascade, that they had in abundance. There was very little variation in color, among the few brands/fibers that they had. The store is big and nice, very open, but it's awkward feeling.

The staff was very pleasant.

about Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics on Thu Sep 11 13:20:33 +0000 2008

I love this store! I would call it a fabric store with some yarn, before I ever called it a yarn store, though. I was a bit surprised to see it on the list.

What they have is wonderful, a very unique and varied mix. Really neat to dig through and see what yo can find. The staff is wonderful, and they really do have a LOT of buttons.
