Fancywork Yarn Shop — Local services in Bend

I have found an inclusive and welcoming knitting community where all gather to knit/crochet together, learn, share projects, laugh and have fun. That’s before mentioning their thoughtful choices of yarn and knitting supplies! Wow, such a great selection from all price points. They carry Brooklyn Tweed, Malibrigo, Farmers Daughter, Machette, Arranmore, local brands supporting local fiber farms, and SO many more. I have found the most gorgeous yarns for my projects. Finishing my third sweater now. 😎 Will be casting on a “Hipster” scarf with a gorgeous burgundy Swans Island yarn soon.

Attended the “Bentley” launch with Marie Greene in the store Fall 2018. So nice to meet the author of the pattern. She was so gracious and was happy to be there and to even help after the class was over. Wow!! That’s how you grow a strong, healthy knitting community.

The staff are knowledgeable and always happy to help with projects, yarn choices and to share their enthusiasm for yarn work. Appreciate their help and shared love of creating a welcoming, relaxed and fun environment.

I just discovered the yarn shop's presence on Facebook, and I am sorry that it took me a month to discover this as there is a lot of interesting information stories posted, I am delighted to have found a wonderful knitting community here at...

Didn’t have the greatest experience in this store today. Although their selection of yarn was enjoyable to browse, I felt very undermined and judged by one particular employee. I was ready to check out but was questioned regarding my purchase. The store associate insisted I needed more of my yarn (despite my planned project being quite small) which I couldn’t afford. I felt pressured to spend more money than I was comfortable or otherwise feel judged for purchasing less. The employee made a quiet comment to another employee as she was helping me, and then brought her to the back to tell her what she said. It seemed clear they were talking about me so I left empty handed. Disappointed with the service, I was really hoping to leave with...
