Dharma Trading Co - Retail Store — Attraction in San Rafael

Dharma trading is an exceptional place to shop for all types of craft supplies.

I have been shopping here for around 20 years and they have been in business even longer than that. This says a lot about this business for one.

When I was just first learning how to knit, I began coming to their free knitting classes which happen through volunteers at least twice a week. These ladies are so kind and helpful in showing us newbies how to knit.

Karen is just like her name, patient and caring. She has been there for a long time and still has a smile on her face when I see her.

They have many options for exquisite and novel fabrics such bamboo, hemp and silks. What is unique also about Dharma is that they have a whole line of undyed clothing to work with for dyeing & working with for crafts.

I have always had a wonderful time when I visit them & they are always helpful & courteous to me and my family members.

The assortments of dyes, craft paints, yarns, and fabrics at good prices make it my go to.

I really hope these gaias will stay in business long into the future so my children can be customers one day.

Massively Disappointing!!! An order was held from shipping though everything cleared online when being placed, including that the items were being sent under my father's name to my father's address which is different from the purchaser's name and billing address- for an event- which we are now going to have to scramble to redesign- because Dharma Trading 1) does not have the sense or professionalism to design a check-out that would flag this as an issue upon purchase, 2) Dharma Trading does not have the sense or professionalism to leave a detailed message immediately stating what the issue is, 3) Dharma Trading does not have the professionalism to have VOICE MAIL!, and 4) Dharma Trading does not have the integrity or honesty to make up the time difference to get the items here when needed. I guess this is where one's Dharma turns into one's Karma. I have heard all of your excuses. The way you handled this order was worse than mediocre - and you...

I ordered several hundred dollars worth of supplies. Some of it kinda heavy so shipping was expensive.... The order wasnt scheduled to be delivered until 10 whole days later! I was out of town for business, as I never expected it to take THAT long. Instead of having UPS hold it for me to pick up as soon as I got back, they had UPS ship it back to Dharma after three attempts. As in the first one was Wednesday, then on Friday the order was irreversibly on a truck back to them in Cali. They then refused to help me turn it around, even on Friday afternoon, and charged me for the return shipping, and told me I could pay in full to reorder everything!!! They say on their orders that they want to “make it right” but did everything BUT...
