I'm re-posting a review as I see my original review from years ago was removed, but continues to be relevant.
Fine Points is a cozy space with an interesting selection. However, the moment I entered the space an employee followed me around, asking me aggressively over and over again if I needed assistance. Anywhere I went, she was a step behind. I was very uncomfortable, and I believe I experienced this because I'm African American, despite the fact that I had previously visited and made purchases from this shop.

I don't happen to be a knitter, but I am always fascinated by the beautiful items, which others create. Visiting the clothing and jewelry boutique upstairs is a must. There are an amazing variety of fashions and jewels that you just don't see anywhere else. Fine Points is also a great place to bring visiting out-of-town family and friends. Showing-off Cleveland as a wonderful center of the arts should begin...or end...with a trip to Fine Points in the Larchmere area of Cleveland. You'll be...
