I LOVE going to Cowgirl Yarn! It's definitely my favorite yarn store that I have been to, and not just because I live in Laramie. I often go to other stores when I'm out of town and I still think Cowgirl Yarn is the best!
I've taken classes, asked for advice, chit chatted with everyone who works there, and generally adore their quality yarns. I really like that they try to stock yarns that are local or produced/dyed within the region too.
The owner is really great with remembering your face and name, it's amazing how good they are at it, really. Everyone who works there is super friendly and very knowledgeable if you are looking for something in particular or have questions. I like to ask them before I buy a yarn for a special project to make sure the weight and fiber will withstand its purpose. Super helpful questions, since I am still learning.
The other day I bought one of their canvas yarn bags and it is by far my favorite. It's big, has zippered pockets (so my small stuff doesn't fall out), and you can close it in a variety of ways and it has handy straps (hand or over your shoulder). I may have to get another one.
I do spend way to much money on yarn and especially at Cowgirl Yarn, 'cause they got the stuff I love, but it's well worth it! And they will wind your yarn for you if you don't have the ability to do that easily at home which is very nice too....
Read moreThis shop is one of my favorite things about Laramie! I have crocheted for years but decided to sign up for their beginning knitting class last year. I am now hooked on knitting. Charlotte is a fantastic instructor and I have taken a number of other classes after the beginning one. The classes are great because you not only learn a new skill, but also have the opportunity to try different needles.
The selection of yarn at this shop is superb. They have something for any project. On many occassions I have brought in a pattern and they were able to suggest yarn for me. There is always yarn I want to make something with every time I go in. They also have a good assortment of books, needles, and other accessories. I highly recommend people in Laramie visit this shop and suggest that people passing through...
Read moreThis lovely place is fantastic. The store has local sourced wool and blended wool yarns that are wonderful, not to mention other types and brands of yarn. They wind your hanks into cakes for you if you need yarn cakes. When I visited the store for the first time there were ladies seated in the front of the store knitting and crocheting, sharing patterns and having a great time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting so needless to say I’ve been back to purchase more fabulous yarn. I live in Ohio and have not visited any yarn shops like this. The staff is so sweet and helpful and can check patterns on Ravelry suggesting alternative yarns for your projects. I HIGHLY recommend this store. Thank you Cowgirl Yarn for a wonderful experience. I will be ordering more yarn for future...
