I love this yarn store! It has a fun, modern vibe and didn't feel stuffy or old lady-ish at all. I was really surprised to find a really good selection of cotton yarns there. Most yarn stores I go to don't have cotton yarns which are great for Amigurumi (something I'm really into right now). They even had a cool Amigurumi book that I've had my eye on for a while. They also had some Amigurumi animals that they had made up using the cotton yarns, which is really a smart idea because they showed off the yarns really well.

I chatted with a person who I think was the owner and she was really friendly and helpful. We talked about Amigurumi and crocheting, which I found very refreshing because most of the yarn stores I've been to cater mostly to knitters. I really like that they had books and tools for knitters and crocheters. I do both but I'm more comfortable with crocheting. I bought a hank of cotton yarn and the woman I was chatting with wound it into a ball for me. I really love that!

They also teach knitting and crocheting classes. I can't wait to take one of their classes. I just can't say enough good things about this place. It feels like a relaxed and fun environment. I wish there was a store like this...

The shop is beautiful with a wide array of gorgeous yarn. All of the workers I have interacted with have been kind, knowledgeable, and interested in my projects. Even if they cannot help me with a certain inquiry, they have given me YouTube recommendations or groups I could approach to learn certain skills that I may need...

Great customer service and good selection of really high quality yarn. Plus they can order other colors that aren't in stock. I used to order online, but it's so hard to tell what color you're getting. Here, you can see real yarn swatches so you know what the color really is. Will continue...
